"You have to break eggs to make omelettes" but I thought they looked so pretty I snapped them first. The omelettes were very tasty but as my omelette making skills do not produce masterpieces I did not bother with photographing the results.
These newly laid eggs were from my friend's happy hens, that roam free on their property but always return to their nesting boxes to deliver their daily gifts.
The gorgeous blue ones are from Araucana hens, which have lavender grey plumage and originated in South America.
The blue is so beautiful but an egg is an egg, and just like people it is what is inside that matters.
Taken with Canon 450D using the 60mm lens.
Thankyou for any comments - they are always valued and appreciated. :)

Be careful LE. I think one of the eggs might be a lemon. I heard they were going to make the chickens stamp them with use by dates. Your shot and narrative make for such a great post.
Have a good weekend.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

When I saw this I thought it was a bit too early for Easter eggs Lyn. Never knew that some type of hens laid pale blue eggs! Interesting shot - very nice.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

How wonderful to have one's own chickens and how great it is that they are such pretty pastel colors. You won't even need to dye these for Easter. The little hen is a cute touch to this really fine basket of eggs image.

A lovely post, LynEve! A nicely arranged and photographed little basket. I've never seen a blue egg. I learned something new today.
