This beautiful gift of nature was found by Chloe age 11 the always observant one in our front yard on Sunday. The weekend was a whirlwind of activity with the prom for older sister Grace and their end of the year dance recital. It was all lovely. Aside from the activities, Chloe found this special nature treat.
Three wishes is what they say a fairy will grant you ... if you happen upon one ... I say we are given the equivalent of three wishes each and every day we wake up. What we choose to do with our lives each and everyday are our wishes granted to ourselves.
The word of the day is ... DANCE ... as in the prom, the celebration of a year's work of dance in a recital form and your eyes when holding a great surprise!

I firmly agree with you - and hope to keep on remembering that every morning! Thank you & glad you Scribbled!
Lovely thoughts - and the robin's eggs are so beautiful! They're like little miracles all in a nest - What an amazing view to have on a daily basis.

What a beautiful perspective! And that photo is stunning! I've never seen such true "robin's egg blue" robin's eggs! Thanks for sharing this.
You are completely right! Funny I never thought of it like that.
What a fantastic post!!!

the eggs really are that blue. i just took another photo of the nest and there is only one egg in there today! a mystery occuring in our own front yard. what happened to the other two?
three wishes ready to hatch! What a beautiful symbol you have given us!
"What we choose to do with our lives each and everyday are our wishes granted to ourselves." - I like that line!

How lucky to have robins nesting! What an incredible blue those eggs are - wow!
And yes I too feel that we all have pretty much as many wishes as we want - I like the way you expressed it.
the blue is SO blue! and the mommy hasn't been seen since last night, we are worried about this one last egg...
What a nice thing to have in your yard! When I was a little girl, I came upon a robin's egg by itself in a field. It was near easter, so I thought it must be an easter egg the bunny had left by mistake. I bit into it, and...ewww...hot, runny yolk! I still am amazed by the vibrant hues of nature...but I no longer spontaneously eat things that look pretty:>
What an amazing photo! I can not believe the color of those eggs! So unusual and special. I hope the chicks are ok . . . where did the eggs go?
Carla-your story reminds me of Ramona Quimby who thought it would be cool to crack a hard boiled egg open on her head, but came to find out she had grabbed an unboiled one by mistake. I still think about this story 20 years later. It was one of my favorite books as a girl.
What a gorgeous image, so full of hope.
Oh how beautiful are these turquoise robin eggs! Hopefully the bird mommy came back by now!
Love the composition of the photograph!
Love your Three Wishes"post and beautiful blue eggs...
