Some more April photos

I hope you enjoy seeing some more photos I took in April. I picked all the pink ones for Beverly's Pink Saturday. Here you see one of the gorgeous pink tulips.

One evening the sunset was beautiful with lots of pink.

More splendid pink tulips.

Some pink tulips in the background.

This tulip almost looks like a rose.

I just love the tree blossoms.

More beauties!

Do you remember the frizzed tulips of my Easter blog post? Here's a closeup of one of those pink beauties.

Happy Pink Saturday!

B is for Bunny

First of all, I can't believe I missed the start of a new round of Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday. Thus I don't just feature B but also A.

May I introduce you to Ed? He has been a faithful friend for many years.

Here I painted an armadillo with the moon. You just have to set a long exposure time (about three to five seconds) on your camera, focus on a full moon, and gently swing the camera around. It's great fun -- and here is my heavenly Ed.

Now on to this week's letter -- B!

This cute bunny is now the new friend of our neighbors' little daughter. She is 1 1/2 years old and just loves to cuddle with the soft bunny. It was a perfect Easter gift!

Easter

Easter Sunday was a warm and sunny day. The sun falling through my living room window lighted up my Easter bouquet.

The Kokopelli Easter egg I painted myself.

Isn't the willow catkin just beautiful? So soft!

Of course, tulips are a necessity on Easter.

Do you feel watched now? Quite right!

A cute bunny ornament made from shell.

I like the traditional wooden ornaments.

Adorable bunnies hiding between willow catkin twigs.

Cute Easter napkins.

The Easter basket with chocolate bunnies and eggs.

Part of the fun are the vibrant colors.

Isn't that chocolate bunny just sweet?

The day before Easter I dyed some eggs -- great fun!

Delicious Easter bread.

Yummy strawberry cake.

A dramatic spring sky.

A couple of raindrops in the afternoon.

I love natural meadows with lots of daisies.

One of the many tulips in the garden -- a beauty in yellow and red.

Another beauty in dark purple which almost looks like black.

A splendid blossom of the ranunculus bush.

Those pink tulips are frizzed.

They are absolutely gorgeous.

A lovely visitor on Easter Sunday.

So relaxed.

A lovely geranium -- the variety is called Wild Hilde.

Another beauty in pink.

I hope you had a happy and peaceful Easter!

Never Forgotten

Mary from Green Paper posted her April collage challenge, offering some typical vintage images. I used them all in one of my own photos, coming up with a wistful collage which I titled Never Forgotten.

I wish you

I recently created a small photo book with some of my favorite photos as a gift for Easter. The book cover shows the tulips below and has the title I wish you. So without further ado -- I wish you...

Curiosity

Light

Pleasure


Serenity

Calmness

Color

Contentment

Joy

Time

(The most relevant hour is always the present. The most important person is always the one standing opposite you. The most essential is always love.)

Beauty

Laughter

Brilliance

Wisdom

Below you see the back cover of my gift booklet.

Since there's some pink in my photos now and then, I am linking this to Beverly's Pink Saturday. Have a great Pink Saturday!
