25 Apr 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 :)

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

And the purple egg carton w/yellow peep made me laugh!

Posted at 00:55h, 26 AprilI 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 :)

Posted at 23:51h, 26 AprilThanks 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!

that first image is gorgeous, I love the blown out look
