I had myself a nice break from the computer to visit the far away land
of Outside. My friend, Katy, brought over some fresh eggs from her
backyard hen, pretty blue eggs worthy of photographing with a sprig of
lantana.
And I must have needed a serious break, because I was paparazzi-ing
those eggs like they were Lindsay Lohan. A great excuse to enjoy a bit
of sun and a rest on our increasingly green grass (we hired a yard
guy). One thing I can say about the desert is watch out for those flowers — you’ve never seen such intense colors.
just dropping by to say i love that white lacy edged platter… my goal in life is to have stacks and stacks of beautiful white dishes, all lovely and detailed in some way but none matching.
i come here just to look at all the pretty colors 🙂
These photos are so fresh and full of life. I love the yummy minty smell of lantana, mmmm and the humming birds they bring!
I can’t imagine a prettier egg or photo of one. Lindsay Lohan can’t touch it! 🙂
Lovely.
Trust nature to come up with the most exquisite shades of colour!
Seriously, only you can make something like eggs look utterly stunning. Oh to have that talent…
Those eggs are a really pretty colour aren’t they – like a 1950’s blue. My supermarket (UK) has started stocking them but they are really expensive…stay close friends with your neighbour!
Gorgeous. Puts my photos to shame…
Gorgeous flowers. I miss them they don’t grow too well in the UK! In Spain we used to have them in bright pink and orange too!
Stunning photos, love the pale blue and the vibrancy of the yellow together.
What a gorgeous colour blue those eggs are.

Loves my chooks and eggs from them but have never taken pics of them like this. Wow you can make anything look amazing………..
Baeutiful pics!
Wonderful photos, Heather.
I love lantana, too. Our first lived in a pot and was names Carlos Lantana :0D
Beautiful!!!!
What kind of camera do you have? I love all your pictures! They are so great! I want to fold them up and put them in my pocket and look at them when I get blue…
It’s all beautiful! Your pictures-the eggs-the lantana-your fabric-you-ALL.
Just found your blog – will most definitely be back. Just a silly question – since you’re “Bailey” – by chance would the Elinor Peace Bailey be kindfolk? I love her dolls and designs.
You creative folk are wonderful.
I finally had the honor of seeing your beautiful fabric in real life. It’s delicious, like farm eggs and lantana… fresh, vivid, enticing. The bolts were lined up at Quilt in a Day, where there are scads of fabulous fabrics and still your line popped above all the rest.
love the photos..and fesh eggs are THE best!!
But do they taste good? 😉
I used to think lantana was boring until I discovered it came in all different colors.
I definitely prefer your pictures over those of Lindsay, Paris, Jessica et al anyday!!
Some people are truly gifted putting color together and you are one of those people! Love, love LOVE !!! these pictures… 🙂
How cool! A hen that lays blue eggs! At first I thought you were having an Easter party in June. And your photos are always so beautiful I just want to reach out and grab them.
These are wonderful! And definitely better than more shots of Lindsay and the rest of them. So refreshing. I really like your work.
what a wonderful “break” It was refreshing to see your photos. Such beautiful intense colors!!!
It’s been awhile since I have commented!! You are on my Bloglines and I read you everyday!! Its been busy around here!! No excuses but wanted to drop in and say Hello!!
I watched the show you did! You are going to be a busy lady!!
Beauty in nature and found objects, that is always an inpsiration.

I love lantana. My grandma always had it at her house (but the multi-colored variety) so it always makes me think of her when I see it.
beautiful photos!!! i’m off to investigate which camera you use.
Beautiful. I had chickens growing up and they were brown and green. Such fun colors, isn’t life amazing!
Ooh! Stunning! You’ve got some mad photo skills! Love those.
I love lantana, too. My favorite color is the pink/yellow.
The yellow here could make anyone’s day happier!
