FLYFOTO: Basket of Goodies

'Easter is the only time of year it's cool to put all of your eggs in one basket.'

When I was growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money.  My parents, as much as I loved them, were also not that creative.  For as long as I can remember, our Easter candy remained the same.  We never got gifts, new clothes or Easter baskets.  We woke to find a dozen or so of those chewy, overly sugared candies 'sort of hidden' in the living room.  I think they were technically called marshmallow candies, but the centers were not fluffy like a marshmallow, but sugary and hard, and within a short period of time, almost to hard to eat.

Then, we got one small solid chocolate bunny.  The cheap kind, the one dollar kind, the kind not in a box, but just wrapped in hard plastic.  Not the best tasting chocolate for sure, but we still were happy, and like most who open a chocolate bunny, we began with the ears.

I feel a little guilty about how much we complained when we were kids, comparing our hard candies and cheap bunnies to the large Godiva and Lindt chocolate my friends got.  As I got older though, I began to appreciate the predictability of our Easter goodies.  When I was older, I used to do up big Easter baskets for my parents, with tons of chocolate and NO MARHMALLOW eggs.  They usually commented that I spent too much, but enjoyed eating it well into May and June.

Holidays are about predictability, and the memories of the love that went into them.  Although those eggs were incredibly sweet, I do remember the shiny colors, and how much I associated those particular hues with Easter.  I think those eggs were more for show, for hiding and finding more than actually eating.

When it comes to Holidays on FH, I love predictability as well, especially with artist whose work has had an impact on me.  One of the first Easter posts I ever did for the site was back in 2010.  It was just a simple Happy Easter post, and included the work of artist and photographer FLYFOTO.  I believe FLYFOTO's work was the only Easter themed imagery I could find at the time, I loved his balance of color, holiday fun and hot sexy naked men.  Since then, I regularly go back to FLYFOTO's work at the holidays and it never ceases to impress, and reminds me why I love holiday inspired art and images.
