It puts me in an awed mood to realize that those objects are made inside a bird's body and popped out all nicely and safely prepackaged. It is good to look closely at such everyday miracles, I think.
This made me too think about how amazing it is that these eggs come out of the chicken so perfect, whole, even, not broken. Never thought about that before. Great shots!

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

When I saw that first shot, I was thinking legs, rather than eggs. Nice work.

I don't want your camera, I want your eye for beauty.
I love finding a new gorgeous view of the world in your blog. Thank you.
Nice tease, Vicki! And very creative, too! Jim
Really enjoyed these! Are the eggs from your chickens?
that last shot.....terrific
Who says grown- ups don't play enough
The eggs are from our chickens -- John had set them there by the sink and my eye was caught by the shadows. Then I had fun cropping,
Great pics...thanks.
I wondered what was it was when I saw the first shot... A detail on the skin of a female human body...
Very creative post !

... and texture! Look at those shells... Aren't eggs marvelous miracles?!
Hello Vicki
Love the pictures! What type of camera do you use? I think, I asked you this once before??
Best
Tracy :)
My camera is a Nikon D90 with an 18-200mm lens. As I've said before, I love it.
Very artistic and enjoyable, thank you Vicki. We all love curves, don't we.
What an imagination!
