Leftover from Easter, for Macromondays two
(I removed the previous entry as Karen reminded me there weren't to be any flowers.)
Happy Easter!
Seems most appropriate for Smile on Saturday but a bit too similar to my Looking Close... on Friday entry so I did another.
An ordinary hen egg in the nest of a Grey Fantail ... it had 3 chicks so this egg is a bit big!!!
Saw this gem at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. They were hosting a traveling exhibit of the works of the Faberge' family.

this image impressed me because light and contrast is good & clarity.

Every morning before going to school, Clotilde helped her mother by gathering the freshly laid eggs from the family’s hen house. Still warm, the eggs she gathered from amidst the nests of straw and stray feathers made by their hens were white or brown, sometimes delicately speckled and sometimes not. Then, one morning, close to Easter Sunday, as she hunted around the hen house, Clotilde found a different egg nestled comfortably in the straw, surrounded by feathers of red, bronze and yellow. The egg was a delicate shade of blue, and rather than speckled, it was dimpled all over, like a dew covered leaf. Clotilde gasped as she admired it with reverence as it sparkled and shimmered in the morning sunlight. As she looked at it, she saw the egg move and heard a crack like glass splintering. Carefully Clotilde crouched down to wait and see what fantastic, magical bird would be forthcoming from within the surprising egg she discovered.
Easter represents hope, as do eggs, which also bring the promise of good things to come. Easter eggs symbolise hope, new life, resurrection, and fertility, aligning with both pagan and Christian interpretations of the holiday. We all need hope in the world today, and a reason to smile, find beauty and joy. My wish for you, is that you experience and find all these things!
This egg is actually a wonderful dimpled European glass ornament which I hang along with its pink counterpart every Easter. A friend sends me box of Haigh’s chocolate Easter Eggs every year. One year when I went to throw out the box, I rediscovered that it was full of shredded paper packaging, which reminded me of a nest. Inspired, I fetched my blue glass egg and nestled it amongst the paper, but it needed something to make the nest more homely, so I sprinkled around a few of my feathers from my feather collection. I then took the box with nest outside and photographed it in the mid morning sun.

With an abundance of gorse, it was inevitable to find the shieldbug! Was nice to see some eggs too. My first of the year for this species, which again, I often see as early as April... these are being eyed up by a little wasp (probably Trissolcus sp)!

Maybe from a speckled hen. 🤔
But to make it more interesting, it's cracked and also lit from the INSIDE, not back lit, so I guess it was from a battery hen!!!
For Macro Mondays theme 'speckled'.

Many people have a small amount of money put aside as a nest egg in case one runs short. Something that can be taken a bit to excess when stored under floorboards as represented in film! For the Snap Happy theme of Eggs proposed by Lisa- Red Stilletto. Happy Snap Happy Monday.
