No clue what kind of bird, here, lays this egg. For the last week and a half, though, we've seen it every time we walk by the tree it is under - even from a distance - oh, maybe ten or fifteen feet - I could see this egg. One day last week after The Kids and I got home from our walk, I jumped in the truck to go take pictures of the egg. Way cool! However, no matter what I did, I couldn't get the damn things to unload. The message that the computer gave me was something like "no file," or some such error... Yet, when I put the little "film thingy" in the camera - there they were - the pictures that would NOT download. [I try. I really, really do. But I am so technically challenged it is downright sad!] Anyway, as I was talking the pictures of the "Perfect Blue Egg" the first time, I drew the attention of some young man in his car - who stopped and parked right there - behind me - as I was taking the pictures, and then, a couple of young kids must have spied me, because they came out of their front door and watched me take the pictures. I figured for sure, after that, that the "Perfect Blue Egg" wouldn't be there the next day. But it was! And it has been there since. So yesterday, after our walk, I once again jumped in the truck to go take pictures of it. And, YAY!!! They "unloaded" onto the computer for me when I tried this morning.
If it is, it is one BIG sugar coated almond! But yes, it does look a little like a sugar coated almond, doesn't it. Haven't had those in ages, Khadijateri...
No clue, Freddie. And no bird hovering around to protect it, either. I'm surprised that a lizard hasn't gotten to it and sucked out its contents. It was a completely whole, unbroken egg. I moved it, gently with a little stick, just to see if perhaps it was broken - but it wasn't. DH says that it is hot enough here to hatch eggs that are not being "laid on," but I don't know if he said that just because he knows I'm gullible that way or if he actually thinks that an egg could hatch that way.
Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”

ReplyDeleteThat little thing is cute. Do you think it fell out of a nest?
