The Shutter Sisters Flickr Pool is overflowing with amazing photographs and talented artists. In fact, there are so many that I almost missed some gorgeous photos of one of my favorite things…Easter eggs. Coloring eggs is a tradition I clearly remember as a child, and something I still do to signal the start of spring and my excitement for the season. As I looked through the pool at some beautiful egg photos I am reminded that one subject matter can be photographed a thousand different ways. I love seeing how other artists view the world around them.
I want to share some of my favorite egg photos from the Shutter Sisters pool, before the moment passes us by:
All in a row, backlit by the sun
Muted pastels, shot from above
Marbelized in a bright yellow bowl
In a basket, already found
Graffiti eggs, lined up
Natural in the grass
Painted by little hands
Rainbow colors, back in the carton
If you have any egg photos to share with us, leave them in the comments and the Shutter Sisters Flickr Pool!

My favorite thing about Easter in Germany is that they hang Easter Eggs on tree branches as decorations. It’s a gorgeous boost of color marking the beginning of Spring!

oh, fun! What a great collection of shots. We experimented with natural dyes this year, with, um, mixed results 🙂 Still a great project.

My egg photo was of the most amusing egg decorated in our family – a chicken kicking a soccer ball toward a chicken "goalie" guarding the goal. I think I laughed about this egg for quite a while!
