Spring Equinox 2017

It is the Spring Equinox for 2017….traditionally symbolizing the breaking out of the darkness of winter and the return of light. Also known as the March equinox or vernal equinox, it occurs every year around March 20-21 when the sun crosses over the equator to the other hemisphere.

It’s time for longer days and an “emerging” as birds sing and buds return from sleep to waking.

Nice capture. This looks like a young Lincoln's Sparrow. One of my favorites.

Looks like he's taking a Spring walk in the garden.

Pretty bird, who I'm sure is enjoying the arrival of spring.
