Spring is here!! And Easter is on it's way. Just as with all other holidays, many of the residents decorate their front doors to reflect the event and season. After a long winter, it is nice to see Spring flowers and colors everywhere you look.
Easter Celebration in Latvia. Everything has one goal, namely, preparing Christians for Easter celebration. Latvia, however, is a country where almost every feast encompasses Christian and pagan traditions. Easter is also time for celebrating the spring solstice, when, according to Latvian traditional beliefs and rituals, people try to help the soil wake up and become fertile, by encouraging its benevolence. For the most part, in Latvia Easter celebrations take place in the central squares of the biggest cities, as well as in culture institutions and museums. Traditional Easter activities include painting eggs with natural colours, egg rolling and egg battles, swinging in the highest place in the surroundings, predicting the weather and performing traditional ceremonies for promoting fertility and strengthening health. During Easter, people can also attend concerts by folklore ensembles and other artists, go to church, visit special exhibitions, traditional fairs or attend cultural events.
My Monster got bubbles from the Easter Bunny. It was sweltering when we wanted to go out, so we decided to do them in the bathroom instead. So, towel on the floor (to prevent slipping) we went for it!
A happy easter to everyone and all our friends on Flickr. We hope you got lots of eggs and chocolate and good stuff like we got. We have LOADS of chocolate eggs and there are even easter crackers!

Multiple-exposure trickery again. Tried several ways of doing this and eventually opted for erasing everything around the two back lids, adjusting the opacity, and putting them on top of the main pic.
Holy Easter everyone.
