I know that Easter is supposed to be a holiday to commemorate the death and then resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, if you grew up in a non-religious family, it also meant watching The Ten Commandments on TV and chocolate versions of various animals, rodents or cartoon characters. So, after watching Charlton Heston part the Red Sea and free his people for the hundredth time (and it's still as great to see as it was the first), it was now chocolate time. As longtime readers know, My Lovely Assistant is a pro in the kitchen, so this year she decided to whip up some treats for her little niece and nephew, whom we were going to visit for Sunday dinner. She created some little Rice Krispies nests and then filled them with a couple of homemade pieces of
fudge shaped like little eggs. She made a small batch of them and the look on her niece's face when she saw them must've made all of the work worth it. Once all of her hard work was done, I grabbed my camera and snapped off a few pictures of her handy work. I used a white piece of cardboard for a backdrop on the first photograph and bounced some flash off of the ceiling onto both photographs you see here. I added some Cadbury Mini Eggs for a little colour in the first shot, while My Lovely Assistants taste for decorating her work took care of any needed colour in the second. The first photograph was taken at f/9, 1/250sec, ISO 100 at 35mm and the second photograph was taken at f/11, 1/250sec, ISO 100 at 35mm. As is always the case, the treats were even tastier than they appear.

Another little reminder. It's the last week to see my Exhibition, Point of Vue, at the Greenfield Park Library. Check out the poster for the important details.
