Isolation Easter

For the first time in many years, we spent Easter with just the four of us (though Izzy spent most of the day in her bedroom really isolating). Rather than our usual celebration with my sister Gwen and her family, we hung out and chatted with folks on the phone, or Skyped with family. Emily picked up a few bits of Easter flair at one of her recent, carefully executed, trips to the grocery store. She found some hollowed eggs filled with confetti. At the end of the night, we went out on the back deck and tried out different ways of cracking them open. Here are our results.

(I shoulda set my shutter speed faster. Fearing I’d miss the shots, I just cranked the camera to aperture priority and left shutter & ISO on AUTO. You get the effect, but the it’d be better with a faster shutter traded for some more grain at higher ISO)
