A wonderful term. Took individuals of the grandkids about 7:30 PM. We were headed to Easter Vigil which started at 8:30 PM.
Took Anna and Michael again in the church parking lot as the light was even more lovely when we arrived.
Charles’ was taken on his front porch Thursday, ambient light but not exactly half.

Someone’s brake lights added the red highlights to Anna’s hair.
Jack’s photo was taken first. Still bright.

And the following poem comes to mind for the challenge- except a small fat grandmama I am not- I’m a BIG one! And instead of Banbury Cakes we brought out four dozen Hot Cross Buns from Rocco’s Pasticceria on Bleecker Street.
My mother used to read me this poem from The Bumper Book by Watty Piper
The Cupboard
by Walter de la Mare
I know a little cupboard,
With a teeny tiny key,
And there’s a jar of Lollypops
For me, me, me.
It has a little shelf, my dear,
As dark, as dark can be,
And there’s a dish of Banbury Cakes
For me, me, me.
I have a small fat grandmamma,
With a very slippery knee,
And she’s Keeper of the Cupboard,
With the key, key, key.
And when I’m very good, my dear,
As good as good can be,
There’s Banbury Cakes, and Lollypops
For me, me, me.
Happy Easter to you! Great photos! All of them.
Beautiful! Happy Easter!

Such a handsome / lovely group- Happy Easter to all.
Thank you for your good wishes today!
Blessed Easter to you and your beautiful family
An adorable poem to go with the beautiful, radiant grandchildren!!! Wow! Happy Easter to ALL. I bet those 4 dozen HCBs from Rocco’s were BEYOND! 😉 If I am able to get to NYC again, think I’ll have Rocco’s on my list to pass by as well as MOMA!!! 🙂 xoxoxo
Ruth, i have a tiny cupboard with a key. Am delighted with the poem. The children are beautiful in any light. Happy Easter.
Awww thanks Colleen
Beautiful grandchildren, Ruth. Love the poem. 🙂
Thank you, Sylvia. Yes the poem is nostalgic for me.
How nice that traditions continue between generations. Your grandchildren are lovely and you did a wonderful job with their portraits.
Thanks Tina. I’m fortunate they’ll allow me to try to catch them being themselves. I try to make it quick. Passing on traditions seems more important as I age.
I love reading/hearing about other people’s traditions and memories. Thanks for sharing Ruth. 🙂
Thanks for your visit Stef. And for leaving a nice comment, too.
These are very beautiful portraits so well captured in half-light and some with back light. Happy Easter.
What a great looking group of grandkids, Ruth! Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of watching them grow up.
Awww you are sweet to say 🙂
