What could be more simple than the humble egg? And, yet, it is only the beginning of many complexities...from the philosophical question of which came first - the chicken or the egg? to the basis for various intricacies of life.

I was intrigued by my Flickr buddy's (@dcosand's) capture of the simple egg earlier this year and though I knew I could not replicate it (not even come close to his creative and technically well done image!), I also knew that it was a very relevant subject for today's @dailyshoot challenge of simplicity.

So many times we make our worlds so complex - is it the expectation of the rat race? are we responding to the need to 'fill' our time with 'busy-ness' whether or not it is justified? or are we just digging deeper and discovering the various pathways that network amongst simple ideas? All from the 'simple' egg! Naples, FL
