The Easter Bunny gives Easter eggs to good little children and bananas to good little gorillas.
Day 86 of 366.
...my Easter grass isn't quite "done" yet, but I just had to take an image of it.
Happy Purple Tuesday!

E Pasqua sia, nei tuoi occhi
E Pasqua sia, nel tuo cuore,
E Pasqua sia, nelle tue mani
per donare cio’ che senti di più prezioso nel tuo cuore
per riempire gli occhi di lacrime d’emozione,
Buona Pasqua a te e ai tuoi cari
And Easter is, in your eyes
And Easter is, in your heart,
And Easter is in your hands
to give what 'you feel is most precious in your heart
to fill your eyes with tears of emotion,
Happy Easter to you and your loved ones

Came upon this heartbreaking tableau in a nearby cemetery the other day. I'd headed out on a cold and rainy morning. Imperfect weather ignites a strange creative bent for me. And coming into a burial ground in these conditions usually ensures that my visit is solitary. Something about that desolation fuels the intensity of the experience. For me it's all about focus, oneness. Upon arrival in a place like this, I'm unerringly pulled this way or that until I find the reason(s) I was brought here. And so I stumbled upon this forlorn Easter basket left on the grave of a child. I was first attracted by the brilliant color, completely out of context with the bleached landscape and leaden sky. Then the bunny caught my eye. From a distance it appeared real. Up close it looked more like a bristle brush, but for that one moment it seemed to be a living being, quivering, frail and vulnerable. I had an irrational vision of the bristle bunny leaping from the basket and hopping off in fear of my approach. It's all very conflicting seeing things like this, totally out of context from the joy that were intended to bring. I thought back to the Easter baskets of my own childhood. Brought out on Easter morning in the comfort of home and family, siblings and parents. So much happiness associated with that, but as with many childhood memories, the details are compressed into very small flashbacks. The explore like tiny bombs every time I step on some unseen tripwire. Most of the intricate detail has now been smoothed over by time. Yet vivid splinters remain. Just enough to tell the story. I recall my Easter basket, and burrowing through the fake green grass for hidden chocolate eggs. We would get dressed up, and head to our grandparents for dinner and an egg hunt. The eggs were mostly filled with candy and small change. One egg contained a dollar bill. Man that was the coveted egg back then. A whole freaking dollar! The flashback ended just like that, distant recollections swirled away like water disappearing down a drain. My wonderful childhood Easter basket dissolved into this rain soaked one, standing lonely vigil over the cold gravesite of some poor kid I don't even know. I thought about how differently our life paths ended. I was saddened, but I still took the photo. This story still needed telling despite the sadness. I walked off, not looking back for fear that bristle bunny was following me home. I guess in a way it did.
Here is the family during Easter Egg coloring. We were unexpectedly all around for Easter this year and egg coloring proved to be as fun as always.

Shot taken inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem this past January. According to traditional Christian belief, this church is built (more or less) on the very place where Jesus was laid to rest on Good Friday, and from where he rose on Easter Day. (The young woman lights candles, while the priest cleans up after the tourists!)
We celebrated Easter 2019 with our son, Brian, and his family in Columbus, Ohio.

This is my niece hunting for Easter eggs.
Thank you all for the great comments! The shot has been featured in Flickr Blog.
Taken with a Canon 40D, Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM and a Speedlight 580 EX II (with Stofen diffuser).
The camera is on its side with the flash unit on the right hand side. The flash was diffused with the Stofen, angled up at about 45 deg and set to the high speed setting (so I could get a faster than a 1/250 exposure so as to keep the aperture DoF I wanted). The main lighting was bright sunshine around noon. Personally I would have preferred it if the flash was slightly lower setting so the shadow on her face was not so strong but I can't have everything!
I have done some minor contrast alterations in Lightroom and other than that this is straight out of the camera.

At Ethiopian Easter, people who can afford it, slaughter an ox. After 2 months of veganist fasting the Easter menu consists of mainly meat ! This bloody scene gets something magical in the dark..

Bandit's impression of the Easter bunny. I took a whole series of the dogs, this being the first. He wasn't thrilled with the ears and made this face.
I tried natural Easter egg dyes for the first time this year. These eggs are dyed red/rust using yellow onion skins. I read several different sites for how to make natural-dyed eggs. I ended up combining several different techniques—here is what I did:
Directions
Large white eggs
Two tablespoons white vinegar and/or one teaspoon cream of tartar
Hose (I used knee-highs, which were $1 for three pair)
Assorted leaves, flowers, and stickers
Scissors
Four to five quart pan
Bowl
Colander/strainer
Slotted spoon
Rack placed over paper bags
Oil
Paper towel
Yellow onion skins (I filled a produce bag at the grocery store by digging at the bottom of the onion bin. I would say I collected almost enough skins to fill a one-gallon plastic jug)
1. First, I washed all of the eggs with soap to make sure they were free of oil or grease, but this is probably optional.
2. Place an egg in the pan and fill it with enough water to cover the top of the egg by at least an inch. Remove the egg.
3. Add the onion skins, press down, and bring to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes partially covered to minimize evaporation, stirring occasionally. The water should be a deep rusty orange.
4. Allow water to cool slightly, and then strain contents over a bowl, pressing skins to remove any remaining liquid.
5. Rinse pan, pour in dye water, cover, and return to low heat to keep warm while preparing eggs.
-----
6. Cut off the bottom 4 to 5 inches of each knee-high.
7. One at a time, place leaves, flowers, and stickers on the egg as desired. Some of the plant materials will stick better if you dip them in water first.
8. Place the toe of the knee-high on the top of your fingers and turn it inside out so that it covers your hand. Place the egg in your hand, and gently turn the hose right side out to cover the egg. Make sure your design is how you want it, and then pull the hose securely and tie into a knot on the back. Repeat with remaining eggs.
-----
9. Return dye to a gentle boil and stir in vinegar and/or cream of tartar.
10. Gently lower the eggs in the pan and boil for 20-30 minutes. Check the color of the eggs at 20 minutes. If not dark enough, boil until desired color is obtained (I boiled mine for 20 minutes).
11. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and place on rack to cool slightly.
12. Carefully cut hose and unwrap eggs. Discard any remaining plant materials or stickers.
13. Dampen a paper towel lightly with oil and buff eggs until shiny. Remove excess oil with clean paper towel.
14. Place eggs in your Easter basket!

A group of six girls posing in a backyard on a bleak day in early spring. The following words in German are handwritten on reverse: "Ostern 1927, Lotte Reindl, Elsa Stein, Ilse Frank, Marga Sommer, Lotte Nehring, Luzia Krause" (Easter 1927 ...). I discovered this intriguing vintage photograph at a flea market in Stuttgart.
