I thought I’d return to the Blog with a philosophical question! Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The Chicken or the Egg?
Welcome back!
Great brain twister which you nicely illustrated with this wonderful ‘breakfast still life’.
Une très belle gestion de la profondeur de champ, Martina. Celle-ci fait tout dans cette image : elle amorce même la possibilité d’une histoire.
I think the hen came first but you can never be sure.
Great shot anyhow! 
………;-D
Maybe the sheep was first;-D
Great idea Martina!
wonderful tones…
Never heard that quote, but I love it – how different!
Cute little egg holders – they’re so darling!
this one is absolutely complementary in the different levels, is elegant and pleasant at the view
wonderful work, very cute image, philosophical question
Some photos have a natural warmth provided by both subject matter and technique — this is one. Humor and small details go into making this a very pleasing image, even to the touch of color from the flowers in the soft bokeh of the background. Delightful and fun.
Haha…
What for a difficult question on the late evening – and the hen looks also inquiring …
A very attractive image, Martina, but as far as the philosophy’s concerned, I’ll stick with the easier question, “Why did the chicken cross the road?”!!!!!!!!!
Some say “ASK, and ye shall receive.” (HA!)… Many say “Reality and Imagination are completely mixed.” – Loving this picture for all its Quirks & Beauty!
Wow, all I could do was smile!
