Meeting the Easter Bunny

On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
"Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house and 'bout the house
a-lighlty I am going."
"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
"Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day."
He perked his ears and winked his eye
and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail -- what tail he had --
and stood up on his toes.
"I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime." --
So he hippety-hopped away.

Photographing teddy bears is not the easiest thing in the world. The light in my living room is very poor, so it’s hard to get clear pictures, even when using a tripod. That’s why I had to transform my kitchen into a photo studio.
Just to remind myself, this is the setup I used to get the picture below. The aluminum foil I ended up using was a little less wrinkled than this one was though. I used it to reflect the sunshine from my kitchen window.
