easter [16/52]

Normally, I go crazy taking photos of all things Easter. This year, not so much.

But I did go crazy for these tulips …

Beautiful light. And yes, the extreme exposure was done on purpose, messing around looking for a dreamy type of feel.
Whatever, I like it :)

Again with the light. I have issues.

Here we go. Some normalcy…

But of course, there must be some textures involved.

Florals demand texture.
It’s a law.

I love tulips.

And just to prove it was actually Easter around here,

some peeps :)


(I honestly, honestly despise this shot but it’s the only Easter-ish shot I took this week. Yuck.)

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.

Mine was utterly lazy and absolute Heaven.

Perfect :)

    Beautiful tulips! And I really love the peeps photo, so cool!

    I was a photo slacker this Easter. I hate that, I wish I had captured more. Oh, well.

    Love the tulips…and they were so compliant by drooping.
    And the purple egg carton w/yellow peep made me laugh!

    I like the peeps shot! I like the one yellow amidst all the purple… and I also am a fan of extreame over-exposure in some shots, especially where there’s lots of white & light involved :)

    Thanks everyone!
    Isn’t it funny how the shots we hate always turn out to the the ones people like?
    Says a lot about my questionable taste. LOL!

    oh shut up. I love all your shots, purple peeps included!
    that first image is gorgeous, I love the blown out look
    and you are right, florals beg for texture and you did it up fabulously.
    Happy Spring GF!
