Easter Eggs

If you think a paintball gun set on “Rapid Fire Random” is a great way to decorate easter eggs, You Might Be A Redneck. (Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy.)

I colored these with a little spinning gadget that uses specially formulated liquid egg dye. It was the most fun I’d ever had decorating eggs: much more fun than dipping them, and I have no patience with the little crayon thingie. Naturally, when I checked the stores the next Easter, I found no sign that they had ever made such a thing.

Using standard food coloring didn't work nearly as well as you think it might.

Crabapple

This tree is in my neighbor’s yard. Every spring it has a huge mass of pale blooms, but it is so much more beautiful up close. I wonder what my neighbor thinks, if he looks out the window and sees me standing on tiptoe, shooting pictures from inside his tree?
I love looking at flowers close up. And here *is* a close up!
