Pickled eggs

My husband said to me this morning "take a picture of my eggs." So I took several and this is the one he chose.
:- ) Does he pickle them himself?

Great shot of the eggs.

I like pickled eggs made with red beets so they turn red, and then sweet and sour. Love them!

Oh, I bet these taste wonderful. It's cute that your husband keeps a look out for picture ideas for you.

You asked if the camera in my photo was a new one; nope, it's an older SLR film model, one I bought as a teenager (which was quite a while ago now), and glad I saved as it's come in handy as a prop for pictures. :) I have a digital camera now which is what I used to take the photo.

Great dof. I really like that the jar says wide mouth...sort of like what you need if you want to eat one of these eggs in one bite.

I noticed the "wide mouth" label too and thought it was something fun to have in the shot. I like deviled eggs, but I've never had pickled eggs. I'm not sure I'd like them soaked in brine (I'm guessing that's what pickles them). But I do like this shot!

Ha ha ... not a fan of pickled anything, but cool capture!

I've never tried pickled eggs. Nicely presented image.

@thewatersphotos Yes he does Gary. He makes pickles a jar at a time and eggs have been his passion recently.
@pyrrhula Thank you so much Pyrrhula
@digitalrn I like them red, too, but really don't care for beets, so it's sort of a waste to use the juice just to color eggs.
@lyndemc He's always telling me what to take a photo of, and most times I ignore him or tell him to take a photo of whatever himself. I'm trying to be more open to new ideas and this one worked I think. Thanks for the explanation about your camera photo.
@pcarlaw Thank you Peggy. Exactly. I took a few that got the Ball name on the jar, but the eggs and spices weren't so prominent.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. He uses a sweet brine, think bread and butter pickles. They have a nice flavor that's not as strong as deviled eggs made with sweet pickles. Good on a salad.
@jamibann Thank you Issi.
@skstein Thanks Sandy. Maybe you'll try them sometime just to see what they're like.

@randystreat Hubbies, they're full of pictures ideas, aren't they. I got a chuckle from your response to his recommendations.

Wonderful, he has a keen sense of humour.

@confectioner Thank you. He does like to make people laugh.
