Easter Wells 2009

[selenak]

Like every year, we observed our family tradition during the Easter holidays and visited the Franconian villages, where wells during Easter time are decorated with mostly hand painted eggs and with plants. It looks very pretty indeed, and always inspires my Aged Parents to take pictures. So naturally, as in the last years, I want to share the prettiness.











And now for some details:







An Easter Well which took up the musical theme of its statue, a local minister who also composed songs:







Every year, though, the most magnificent well is the one at Bieberbach. From which are all the rest of the pictures. Next to the well is a rather adorable dispay of bunnies, which you get first:



Now, the well itself:





















Till next year, bunnies!

Oh, pretty eggs, and I love the bunnies. Also I'm very jealous of the nice weather as it's been dank and grey here all day! Many thanks for sharing the Easter wells and sunshine :)

Nothing but sunshine from Thursday till Monday here, i.e. for the entire Easter holidays. *appreciates*

Those are incredible! I loved the one with all the blue eggs.

I rather missed Easter this year--it seems like in Japan, nobody save for the tiny minority of Christians even knows it exists. I got an Easter egg at church yesterday, I talked to my family via Skype for over an hour, and my sister's sending me some belated chocolate (Cadbury Creme Eggs!), but I really did miss Easter Sunday at home. But I'll probably be home next Easter.

I can understand that, having been always at home for Easter, traveller that I am. So I'm glad the photos could bring some easterly feeling to you. :)

As I could not manage kittens for you, this will have to do. :)

I was loking forward to your Easter Egg well post - this is the third year I've seen them now, they're becoming a staple, mostly because they're so awesomely fascinating. Thank you for posting them again.
