Artistic Easter Egg Photography Greeting Card by time2see

I just took a peek at the next page in
my calendar and had the happy realization that Easter will be here soon. For some people Easter is strictly a religious holiday, for
others it is also about egg hunts and chocolate rabbits. Others may see
Easter as a joyful recognition of fertility, rebirth or the Spring
season. For me it is all these things and also a celebration of
color.
It is quite possible that my love
affair with color began with a few hard boiled eggs and some bottles
of food coloring. As much as I have always loved chocolate, as a kid I looked
forward to dyeing eggs far more than I did to biting the ears off a
candy bunny. I also didn't like jelly beans that much but I could
appreciate them as long as they were color coordinated with the rest
of my Easter basket. In fact, I think I admired my Easter basket
more for its creative possibilities than for it's sugar value.
These days I don't do much egg dyeing
and while Hippie may gift me with a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg or two,
I no longer receive an Easter basket. Yet, now more than ever, I
look forward to Easter as a harbinger of the return of color to my
world. Already my garden is looking greener and I know that by Easter it will have already begun the prismatic parade that will
delight and inspire me well into autumn. If that isn't something to
celebrate, I don't know what is.
