Colored Eggs

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 20 March 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

These are Parakeet eggs, collected by a friend, from their bird. When moving away, she gave them to me. I colored them over a dozen years ago and each year at Eastertime, I bring them out. Last week our friend lost her husband, so this year these eggs have added meaning...

Neat... and thanks for the explanation... I thought it was a huge lens at first!

I think I saw them before! You found a very attractive way to give us a feeling of their size! The presentation is very good!

@Japanalia: You probably have seen this - it came from the archives! *smile*

I thought it was a big lens at first too, but now know that the eggs are tiny AND beautiful. Nice presentation Judy.

@Marion: Thanks, Marion ........ they really are tiny.
Over the years a few have broken as they're extremely fragile, but I still love them.

How wonderful and delicate these eggs are. The colors are great and you found a fun way to present them - well done.

@Chris: Thank you, Chris ... they are so small. My friend called them her 'grand-bird-babies'.

Is the optics the place of the eggs? :)

@Porcsin: Thank you, Porcsin, for your comment on my birthday image and the frog photos.
I am not sure what your question is for this photo. I positioned the eggs on the filter to show how small they are.

Barbara from Florida, United States

Incredibly tiny for 7 eggs to fit the diameter of the lens. Coloring makes them extra adorable. Thanks for pointing out the link error on my eggs. I'm not sure why I have no previous comment here. But now I do. Great image, Judy.
