Eggs-tra Special for You, Happy Easter!

These eggs are naturally colored, by the breed of the chickens my friend raises on her ranch near Casa Grande, Arizona. Starlene says that one of her hens always produces the green ones. The breed is called "Araucana', nicknamed the Easter Egg chicken, with more information in the linked wikipedia article. These are just too pretty to do any other decorating with. Hope my grand-daughters enjoy them Easter morning. And with this image, my Easter greetings to all of you, my friends.

Now I know we will be friends! I thought I was the only one who was mesmerized by these kind of eggs. Someone gave me a dozen of them last year and I spent a couple of hours photographing them, before AND after they were cracked open. My family thought I was nuts, but then, what can I say?. . .they know me best. . . :)
