Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!

Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!

Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!

Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!

Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!

Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!

Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!

Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!

Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!

Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia!

Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia!

Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!

Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

Happy Resurrection day, everyone! All praise to the King who died for us, conquered death, rose again, and conquered the grave! Alleluia!

In Christ alone,

Buttercup

Finally got a picture of a Buttercup!!!!!!!!

Sorry this one is a bit blurry..... :(

The wind was really blowing, so this was my only good one of the full buttercup.

I LOVE this one!!!!!!!

No, I did not take my "name" from the flower "buttercup," but I do love the flower! I actually took the name from the main actor in Princess Bride, her name in the movie is Princess Buttercup. :D

Strawberry picking!

Yesterday we went strawberry picking! It was so much fun!!! The place we went to, not only has strawberry picking, but also blackberries, tomatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins! Only the strawberries were in season though. And, yes, I took a BUNCH of macro pics! Here are some of them:

Some were already bad and rotten, but most were nice and ripe!

My jalapeno strawberry! Lol

To see more pictures please go to me and my sister's photography blog. :D

Butterfly

I think this is an Eastern Black Swallowtail, even though they are not supposed to be here until April. Sorry I got the powerlines in the picture, he (or she) was in a weird spot. :)
