Some Egg Action…

I haven’t bothered with an egg tree every year but this year my Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick  died and its branches make the perfect egg tree…

I haven’t dyed eggs every year either but this year I needed an activity to do with my grandchildren during an overnight…

And finally…I rarely had an egg hunt here when my children were young because my parents always held one at their house.  Now I am the grandparent and the egg hunt was here…

Your eggs are so beautiful and I love how you've hung them from branches. I love Easter, it's so full of hope and the chocolate is pretty helpful with the happy feeling too!

What a gorgeous tree, beautiful in death as well as life. I love corkscrew branches with a passion.

I just love your photos with the bokeh. Mmmm. (And at XOXOX too.)

The photo of hand holding yellow-orange egg: sigh. The light under the colorful hands, palms down: sighh.

Grandchildren: sighhh.
