Re: PESO: Shell
I knew it was *NOT* a Robin's egg too. That is the one thing I can be sure of based on what I see around my own yard. I suggested house wren because the only photo I could find of eggs that looked close to your egg was labeled as a "house wren" nest. Maybe someone who actually knows birds has a better guess. How far the broken egg is found from the nest doesn't signify. I think parent birds carry empty eggshells away from a nest & drop them to fool predators predators; lead them away from a nest.

Rick, That's interesting. The sand seems to have glass beads in it, making for an unusual texture. Regards, Bob S.

Re: PESO - Shell and Pebbles
That's what intrigued me, Bob--I had never thought about sand being such a mixture before. It lost something in the JPG translation--the orginal RAW has texture in the sand that make one's eyes hurt.

Nice, start converting your shots to BW and you could play Godfrey's evil twin on TV.

Or any compression they might do to the JPEG file on photo.net? As an experiment it might be interesting to just crop down to a 100% crop of the center of the photo and see how that fares.
