I did a fun Easter session yesterday and decided to get bold and bring some live rabbets, and did not regret it!

Have you started to prepare for Easter (hm, if you celebrate it)? I made and painted some paper eggs during the weekend. It was so much fun and shooting them was even more fun. :-) Happy Monday!
Huge gathering on the beach for an Easter Sunrise Service. I viewed from the balcony. The service was to the left and not visible in this photo.

more easter props :) - my boys have fallen in love with the bunny and ducklings - so to my husband's chagrin, we now have three new pets.

Easter morn with lilies fair
Fills the church with perfumes rare,
As their clouds of incense rise,
Sweetest offerings to the skies.
Stately lilies pure and white
Flooding darkness with their light,
Bloom and sorrow drifts away,
On this holy hallow’d day.
Easter Lilies bending low
in the golden afterglow,
Bear a message from the sod
To the heavenly towers of God.
(Louise Lewin Matthews)
Wish all of you a happy Easter!
Blessings of Peace and deep Joy!
LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide. ......
A common myth about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui as natives call it, is that the island experienced societal collapse due to cutting down the trees for statue building, causing an ecological disaster. This is only half the story. While the native Rapa Nui people did cut down the trees, it was to pave the way for agriculture when they first settled the island in the 13th century. The statues themselves were moved using ropes which made it look like they "walked". The islanders lived in relative peace and isolation away from the affairs of the world, until it came to their shores.
The downfall of Easter Island came when it was first discovered by the Dutch in 1722. First contact between the Dutch and Rapa Nui took a violent turn due to the anxieties of the Dutch when dealing with the natives. After this encounter, the Dutch left the island, but they left behind European diseases. The isolated islanders had no natural immunity to diseases like smallpox and many were wiped out. A Spanish expedition in 1770 brought a second wave of disease to the natives. The islanders lost faith in their ancestors who were supposed to protect them and began tearing down their statues. When James Cook arrived in 1774, he saw a demoralized people who feared outsiders.
For the next century, the island was the victim of rapacious slave raids with the worst one happening in 1862 by Peruvian slave raiders. This raid saw the capture of 1500 people, or half the islands population. This was met with international outrage, and they were released in 1863. Unfortunately, it was too late for a majority of the islanders, including the islands elders who understood the undeciphered rongorongo language. The island was soon annexed by Chile in 1888, fearing the possibility of the British or French annexing it. Much of the island was then turned into a sheep farm run by the Williamson-Balfour company. The natives that were left were forced to live in the town of Hanga Roa and work on the farm to make a living.

(90/365) An "Easter Cactus" bloom. Of course these are not cactuses, but succulents, and the name stems from their blooming around Easter time. This is actually the last surviving flower on this plant, for this year.
....with a cheeky bunny, he's lost his whiskers, Happy Easter everyone :)

Easter good wishes to each and every Flickr friend and viewer. The torch cactus (a hybrid) produces the biggest flower of all. Around the feast of Easter, they bloom in a variety of eye-catching colors, all vivid.

I know, it is no longer easter but I am still hunting for eggs because "somebunny" decided to go rogue and hide the eggs in nature.
Happy Easter to all of you.
Yesterday we went to my parent's house for lunch and for an Easter egg hunt for the kids. While I was there I spotted the first flowers that I've seen so far this spring. I thought I'd share.
This is the first time that I've specifically posted something that is completely out of focus. I had convince myself that it was ok. :)

27 Years I've been living in this tiny village in the Netherlands and in all of those years I only saw a Hawfinch once. Until 3 days ago...
Last week it was almost 25 degrees here in Holland (yaayyy, sunbathing!! :-)) but around Easter the weather changed completely; cold, windy and snow and hail storms! Usually, with spring arriving I stop feeding the birds in my garden but with this terrible weather I decided to fill the feeding table in my garden for a little bit longer.
On Easter Sunday I looked outside and as usual, the table was filled with all kinds of birds but 3 of them looked unusually big.. Hawfinch! 2 males and 1 female. Shot this yesterday straight through the living room window because I didn't want to disturb them.
I would usually curse the snow this late in the season but now... It sure made for a nice backdrop!!
