Eggs... eggs... eggs....

Take a look at one of Viennas Easter markets with hundreds, no..., thousands of eggs - photographed by me.

So pretty! what´s the tradition in Austria? they´re not chocolate eggs, are they? perhaps painted regular eggs to use as decorations?

Fröhliche Östern!

The tradition concerns hen's eggs and all possible things you can do with them. This includes coloring, hiding (in the garden, in your flat)or "poking" (?) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostereiertitschen.

Nowadays you can have eggs of nearly all materials you can imagine (as pictured in my other blog). Most of the hand-decorated eggs you see on my pics are hen's eggs. But materials also include wax, wood, marble, ceramic.

Children like those with chocolate most, or even better: chocolate Easter bunnies (because they're bigger and because they deliver the eggs ;-))

Did you notice the pics on my other blog???
