Bright and Early, Easter Morning

I got up first on Easter morning. It's not often that happens, but my parents were tired after the Easter vigil last night. (I guess I'm more accustomed to staying up past midnight than they are.) When I woke up, I remembered that Easter morning is a bit anti-climactic as a grown-up. My mom asked me to set out the jelly beans and peanut butter eggs in the living room when I finished dusting and decorating, so there would be no hunting for undiscovered, unknown treats. In the early, still morning, I went hunting for photographic jelly beans - bright lights, sweet scents, sweet sounds.
