(not) over easy



my daughter - when i gently burst the bunny-with-a-basket-story bubble - reacted in emotional disbelief, and i was as mystified as she was broken-hearted.
looking back, though, i suspect that her lovely little chocolate-loving soul absorbed my words and foresaw a dramatic end to its glorious yearly windfall: reason enough, when one is six and stuck in a sweet-toothless family, for tears, don't you think?

have a fine easter weekend, all.

  1. My parents never allowed my sister and I to believe in the Easter Bunny (or Santa or the Tooth Fairy).
    I used to think that I missed out some magical part of being a kid. But I suppose not.
    Prettige paasdagen!

  2. the meaning of life is hidden in the curve of eggs--something i overheard when i was a child.
    in the case of this picture, i'm just sure it's true.

  4. Hi Lynn, thanks for your recent visit to my site. I'm trying to make a come back with more photos, but it's always hard to find subjects and time to do the work I most love.
    As usual, your work is always inspiring.
    Please stay in touch,
    Bakari

  6. my brother hid the fact that he didn't know about easter and santa from my parents for years because, as the youngest, he didn't want to ruin it for both of us. (I knew he knew). My mom said that at one point she thought she had a rather dumb 9 year old...

  7. They look too nice to break ... in fact an egg itself is already a wonder of nature. It makes me realize that birds are the most artistic creatures
