12 April 2009 Photo: Peep Show

OK so this is not the best example of photography, but I could not let the yearly CNY Diorama Contest go by without a shout out to the Peeps. I look forward to this every year, well it's only the third year running but still I wait with anticipation. It brings me back to my childhood when making dioramas was the best class project ever and I was good at it!

This year's winner in Syracuse was call St Baldpeeps Day which was based on St Baldrick's Foundation. St Baldrick's Foundation (http://www.stbaldricks.org/) is an organization to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. It's great cause with events that run all over the country. Check it out!

6 April 2009 Photo: Here's Comes Peter Cottontail

...hoppin' down the bunny trail. It that time of year again - children being forced to sit on the giant scary Easter Bunny's lap to capture a picture. Too many times, I see kids screaming bloody murder as they are placed on the lap of this crazy looking bunny. Who can blame them, if you were made to sit on the lap of something that is 100 times the size of what it should be wouldn't you be frightened? Thanks Easter Bunny...BOCK! BOCK!

P.S. If a bunny eats lots of carrots and carrots are good for your eyes, why is Peter wearing glasses???

5 April 2009 Photo: Easter Chicks (and Hens)

The weather warmed up today and as we were leaving Bill's parents, I saw these hens and chicks (it really is the name of these plants) enjoying the warm sun. Then I got to thinking about Easter chicks and why are chicks a part of this holiday tradition. It took me a few minutes to realize it was because of Easter eggs...ok sometimes I am slow. Just a small glimpse into my thought processes - scary I know!
