Easter

Matty and I walked around the city yesterday to see everyone dressed up for Easter!
We saw flowers,



Butterflies,
Feathers,



Cake,
Rabbits,




and a Transformer! Although I'm not quite sure what he has to do with Easter ;)

I love your life, and I dream of coming to the city one day. The city that you show me, is the city I dream of. Cool costumes on Easter........I love your blog Katie, and would love to feature you on mine soon!

I love Easter because it is the demonstration of God that life is

essentially spiritual and timeless.
Hope you had a Egg-ceptional, Eggs-traordinary Easter !!!

Muito Igual a VocĂȘ said...

Amazing pictures! I loved them, I didn't know people like to wear costume during Easter. And I'm pretty sure the transformer has something to do with eggs transforming into chocolate :)

colormekatie said...

@Nikaela- I was thinking about making a fun hat but I thought it would be a bit hard to balance while taking pictures.


Random fact- The hat in the third picture weighs 20 pounds!

jokemijn said...

Martin-Oliver said...

Wow! I didn't actually know people dressed up for easter. Not here.. :(

How wonderful!!! Is this a common tradition?

Here in Sweden we dress up as Easter witches on the Thursday before Easter :D The witches get sweets and money. My sister and I handed out cake instead and she was a bunny but we went "Easter witching" nonetheless complete with giant painted on freckles and rosy cheeks. (see blog for proof)

Indie Mom and the Reluctant Banker said...

I love the one with the guy in the pink shirt and the bunny ears. He looks so serious, yet cute.

Mikaela said...

Oh, I love the first flower! I wish I could say I had seen something similiar in sweden now over the holidays, but no bunnies or flowers for me. :(

I absolutely LOVE your style!

Katie @ The Pease Pod said...

This is going to sound weird, and kinda creepy haha. You are on my google reader, and I love your posts! So the other night, you were in a dream of mine. I dreamed you became this huge rock star, and sang that song from the 80's "I don't give a damn about my reputation" and danced around on stage. haha. I saw you and thought to myself (in my dream), "Hey, I read her blog before she was famous!" It's so weird to live in a day and age where you dream about someone you don't even know because you saw their blog. The end. :)

colormekatie said...

That is hilarious!!! I think I'm gonna sing that song for the rest of the day ;)

aka: Mariana said...

what a lovely easter !!

The Cake one and the Transformer were the beeeest <33

Teresa said...

Wow, I didn't know people dressed up so fanciful for Easter! I especially love the grown man dressed up as a sunflower. So cute and pretty hilarious.

Great images, well done. Wishing you happiness, Katherine

Stephanie said...

Too funny, at first I thought that first shot was a rabbit ear bouquet that you made. Now I see it's ... well, I'm still not sure, but it looks like it's outside. Gives me great inspiration for things to try next year, though!

Frannie said...

What a Great Easter!

cafiena said...
