bunny

Grace Methodist held their Easter egg hunt on Saturday in the playground behind the church. The youth pastor, Allison, had her father, Don, dress up in a bunny suit for the children. Don is a photographer and we briefly talked shop before he was lured up the street to try and promote the hunt to any passing families.

He was in great spirits and waved to everyone. The funny thing I noticed that several people who honked at him were older guys just driving by. Some kids walked by, barely taking notice of the grown man dressed liked the Easter Bunny. They sounded lost and were trying to figure out the bus schedule when I took this snap, which sums up alot of odd scenes that I've witnessed on Ponce.

Don's enthusiasm managed to win a few more interested parents and their children and we returned to the hunt. The church had the whole lot set up with decorations and treats. The setting and good weather took on the tone of a block party, something that seems rare in a neighborhood where many keep to themselves.
