Look what I've got!

I was pleased to catch this Wellsummer hen just after she had laid her egg but am cross with myself as I had a big smear on my lens..either that or I was steamed up!
Have cropped the worst bit off as I have not taken any other photo today so it will have to do.

Thank you all for your recent lovely comments on my photos ....it has suddenly struck me how my inside shots of our house looks like blatant advertising, not my intention at all so I will desist in future!!

Three good things:
1. I found two £2 pound coins & some curtain hooks inside the rubber seal in the washing machine.
2.The invention of the pizza wheel.
3.Lazy Sunday afternoons by the fire with the freedom of guilt as I am going on my 5 mile hike tomorrow!!

How was dinner last night? I'd go for free advertising if i were you!! What a lovely hen.....is Wellsummer a breed? The lens was probably steamed up, the temparature contrast, i use a spectacle cleaning cloth or an ecloth!!

[Pat Knowles]

I think it was steamed up too Fanny as I was very quick taking the photo after I went outside. A Wellsummer is a breed yes & these particular hens we bred from eggs so they are very special. Dinner was delicious with good company thank you!

That clouding does occur with temperature changes, especially going from cold to a warmer temp

Great capture of the proud hen. I don't mind further shots from the inside of your house. It looks really welcoming and as stated before, if I ever....... So awaiting more shots Pat

[Beryl Lloyd]

Lovely hen love the feather pattern& such a lovely newly laid BROWN egg-- no wonder you were steamed up !!

[Rob Wareham]

Nice looking hen.

[Matt Clendon]

Nice crop. The crop adds to it I think. It's as if you are bending down to gather up the newly laid egg.

[Alison Tomlin]

She looks sweet. I'm definitely with you on three!

[Peggy Sirk]

I just love this shot, Pat! So wonderfully organic.

[Juliette Packham]

great shot - i picked up some of my mum's hens eggs last week - so very tasty. Love your three...I'm wondering whether I can have a second bar of chocolate for the exercise I've done today!!

[Barb Smith]

She's looking like she does not want anything to do with you taking that egg! Nice capture, Pat.

Nonono, the inside of your house shots are great. Don't stop. Yes they are advertising, but that's good, it makes me want to come and stay!! Love this shot too. I import 50,000 Pizza Wheels a year for a leading retailer, so I second your comment :)
