Tradition

This is an old tradition for the easter in my country. Mostly

children cut patterns in a peace of paper, write a little poem on it

and put their name in dots under the poem. Snowdrops are being put

in the holes in the pattern and then the little letter is being send

to someone, who then has to guess who the sender is. If the receiver

not before easter has guessed who send the letter he/she has to give

the sender an egg - chokolate egg. They are called fooling letters.

Bente, I think this still life would make the perfect Easter card. . it has sentiment, good composition and great lighting . . my favorite of this series. .

I remember doing this as a child.Excellent shot, has Denmark written all over it.

Donna ... thanx for your very nice words.

 

Birthe ... du har ret. Hvilket barn i Danmark kender ikke denne tradition. God p峫e til dig.

 

I have received 2 of these letters this year from my grand children and I better pretend I can't guess they send them to me .... so they can get their chokolate Easter eggs.
