Victorian Easter Egg Hunt

4/21/2014

Lonnie and Lisa looked so pretty back in their Victorian outfits, that I thought I just had to let them go Easter Egg Hunting. Lisa especially liked the blue eggs. "Are they robin eggs?"

It's very challenging to take Easter pictures this year. Normally there's some green in the garden, and maybe even some early flowers. But this year, with winter seeming to hang on forever, and even with Easter being so late this year, the garden is still mostly a dead brown, except for a few tulips starting to poke their heads up. And of course, the periwinkle always stays green. So I have to pose the dolls in front of the periwinkle, and with a bit of blur, make it look like the garden is a lot further along than it really is.

Oh they are perfect Easter egg hunt photos and I never would have guessed how hard it had been to take them if you had not said.

The girls and their eggs and chicks gave plenty enough colour.
And Lonnie and Lisa look just so pretty in their Victorian outfits *happy sigh*

Thanks! I'm getting so tired of waiting for spring and the plants to start growing, but all of the next week still has night temperatures below zero.

I really like the Victorian dresses. I often think it would be so nice to have a third for my third KID, and also some even smaller ones for my BIDs.

I am with Jane, those photos are perfect, the outfits of the girls are so beautiful they don't need grass to pop up.
Want to say also I've been looking at all your trip photos. The magnolia plantation photos are simply amazing. Love all your trip photos, in particular those of Bellingrath gardens and those of St Augustine, what a beautiful place ! The photos of your girls in the beach are also a delight as well as the biking photos. My girls are very jealous of this bike ! And last but not least, I am in love with your celtic costumes, they are a work of art and all the photos of this serie are WONDERFUL !

Welcome back! We had gone to a couple of gardens hoping for spectacular displays of flowers, since we don't have any kind of formal gardens around here, but spring was way behind down south as well. Bellingrath had almost nothing in bloom, and even though Magnolia Plantation was a bit further along, it was very wild. I'd so love a beautiful formal garden somewhere within driving distance!

I love historical places like St. Augustine, and Charleston. Just wish I'd taken more photos there.

I really liked how the Celtic KID costumes turned out, and it was especially nice that we had a bit of snow, as I love the photos taken that morning. It's always important to me to get some nice photos of commissions and items for sale, as the photos are all I have left after the costumes are gone.
