EGG 101

This week's Photo Challenge is the egg.
Not being able to sleep AGAIN, I arose in the wee
hours of the morning and headed downstairs to my favorite cozy chair.
I love the light in this room in the early morn.
It reminds me of a dark old farmhouse parlor, though in
reality, it couldn't be farther from that.


I jumped up, grabbed some eggs, plopped them into
a favorite old brown bowl.


No fancy effects or treatments, just eggs, just a point and shoot camera.
Effects provided by early morning light coming
through the south window.


Love the egg shape shadow I got with this one.

Whipped up a quick Havarti cheese omelet and
went back to bed for a couple more winks.

Please visit Razmataz and Chania as she hosts week 3
of her Photo Challenge.

Everything you photograph has that lovely sepia tone. What could be lovlier than a simple bowl of eggs?

Sounds like me I woke up too early ate an omlette with dear husband and then crashed on the couch.
I should have taken pictures of my eggs instead.
In my defense I did whip up beach plum sauce.....and of course I had to photograph it.
Hey maybe next week it'll be beach plum week....yeah right!

btw I love the warm glow you got that early in the morning.
You would just love my friend Ginny's house. It looks like an old parlor throughout the house.

Stunning! I have read things that say a photographer or a painter might "wait" for just the right light. Serendipity for you to be there at that perfect moment!

Smashing! But not as in scrambled eggs!

Hi dear Z,
Only you could make even a dozen eggs look divine! I love how you can explain things so well. I feel that I would be totally happy to sit in this room in the wee hours too.
hugs to you...
