These two birds eggs were within 50 feet of each other and on the path. Several people had passed me going the other direction and one guy even had a dog with him. It was surprising that the eggs had not been stepped on. The blue egg is a Robin egg and its color is true to what is commonly called "Robins Egg blue." The other egg was not so easy to identify, so I asked my husband and he said it was a Pheasant egg. But I have never seen a Pheasant on or near the golf course. What I have seen are Killdeer birds. They nest in the grass and scurry around making all kinds of noise when someone comes near their precious eggs. As I researched the Killdeer, sure enough that is what the egg is. Take a look by clicking on Killdeer!
I put both eggs in this beautiful pottery dish along with a tiny Hummingbird egg that I found earlier. They are displayed on a dresser sitting beneath the assemblage art piece, "Homecoming", that my niece created.
When that was all done I decided to step outside to see how things were growing and I felt a presence. There above my head was a squirrel scolding me.
He looked me right in the eye and kept on talking. His fur was fluffed and he looked as if he would like to jump on me. I decided to back off but not before I got these pictures! After all, I have a blog to attend to and everything is a possibility for subject matter!
Thank you, Mr. Squirrel!!

The eggs are beautiful, aren't they? I think where you placed them is the perfect spot.
Mr. Squirrel must have been hoping for more seeds.
Yes, EVERYTHING is a blog opportunity!
Beautiful!! Love the blue one :)
It's always so fun to walk around and enjoy Mother Nature. Those eggs sure were a nice find.
I love the robin egg blue one.
