Hello amazing Flickr people !!

 

Today at Color my World Daily Group is a purple day. And the theme at the fabulous Smile on Saturday Group is egg. And who loves eggs??? Me, me, me !! I love especially chocolate eggs (I would love to see a chocolate egg filled with alcohol, perhaps sherry… or some coffee liquor… does it exist already???) but for my pictures I prefer white chicken eggs. And during our staying inside time, I’m using a lot of eggs: my oldest son and I, we are cooking every day and usually there are one or two eggs involved…

 

I’m always amazed to see how fragile but at the same time how strong eggshells are! They can do anything until they break and fall apart in pieces (a little bit like me right now during this “social distancing / stay inside / everything will be all right” time….).

 

Every time one of my sons is holding a raw egg, I’m so afraid he will drop it on the floor (or even worst on his brother head lol and eggs are very good for hair !)!! But when you have to break an egg it is more difficult than expected…and some times you end up with a mess on your hands.

I was thinking a lot about eggs lately… How symbolic and strong they are. You can never know how far an egg will go… It could become a chicken or end up feeding a hungry family (that is more likely…) or just accidently fall on the floor or your sibling’s head. After few sips of my gin & tonic, I was convinced that eggs can accomplish anything they have on their minds…

 

Riding a bike, for instance… Is it possible for an egg? If you are an egg, should you ride a bike very fast and do some acrobatic jumps on it? Should an egg wear a helmet ?? Well too bad, I didn’t had time to make one (I’m sure there is a tutorial on YouTube for that…) so no helmet for my egg… But it has to wear some kind of sing to tell other cyclist to be careful… Why not a big “fragile” written all across the egg. That is perfect, let’s go for a bike ride with our fragile but strong egg…

 

In a way, eggs are like us: so strong but so fragile. It takes a small sneeze or a microscopical virus to break the hardest and the toughest of us …and we can clearly see this right now…So be careful my friends, take care of yourself and your loved ones, we are more fragile than we think!! Stay safe and healthy my friends!

 

I think I had way too much gin in my tonic…and this is basically my thinking process behind that picture.

 

I hope that my acrobatic egg and my nonsense story made you smile!

Happy Smile on Saturday and CMWD to all participants !! I wish you a beautiful

and amazing day!!! We will have a FaceTime party with friends at 17h tonight!!!! So cheers !!

Looking at these last remaining leaves got me thinking how delicate & fragile they are

A thin and fragile moment of first bloom.

A single snowdrop holds its place in the darkness, as if the light touched it for only a heartbeat.

Crystal fragility is not weakness but refinement.

La fragilità del cristallo non è una debolezza ma una raffinatezza.

In the quiet spaces between hope and despair, we wear our most delicate selves. This image reflects the bittersweet fragility of seeking connection, only to feel the weight of solitude. We are like angels with fragile wings, yearning for companionship but carrying the scars of rejection. Still, we shine in our vulnerability, finding beauty even in sadness.

Thrilled to have my photo "Fragile" as lead image over this Portrait Showcase with this words from Jennifer Bracewell: "There is something soothing about this simple, beautifully composed porcelain portrait. I love the quiet"

This is a topiary Crepe Myrtle next to my porch and some tee wee spider loves to do its thing there.

 

Love this cobwebs and all.

I tried this composition shifted (camera level) and unshifted (camera angled up) and preferred the unshifted one.
