It was Easter, 1968 when I walked into our living room to discover with delight my very first Easter Basket - and this "beautiful" little guy :) Even though he may look like scary LSD tripping bunny now, he made my 3 year old heart soar. He sits in my room, splitting at the seems and missing "fur", but he's a tie to the beginning of my life and my memories then. I've tried to throw him away, but I just can't. So he's now become my "Nostalgia" entry.

    Cool shot, certainly looks old! (just Kidding)
    Great light and mood. I am sure Mr. Bunny has had his share of hugs and tears

    Jeff - I can handle your "old" comment as I would have expected you to say something more like "Throw it in the garbage!"

    awe, he's been through a lot, hasn't he? ha ha :). I love the lighting and the position of the bunnies head, as if he is questioning. I'm not sure about what,.. ha ha! The story is cute, too.
