Alphabet Inspired--E is for Eggs

I love the egg as a symbol, so fragile yet so protective of its contents. An egg is so full of potential--it can become nourishment in itself, it can transform flour, water and sugar into cake, it can soften your skin. OR it can nurture and produce a living thing, a bird, a bug, a fish...

A marvelous creation, the egg.

My very favorite egg illustration, courtesy of the Graphics Fairy, as is the little bird-it's a Phoebe, and has a call that sounds just like its name. Background made with pieces feom Rubyblossom and Cottage Arts.
