I have no idea how it got there. One suggestions was that the mama bird landed on the railing and it was so hot that she laid an egg. I don't know.... The really strange thing is that it is still there, two days later.

Egg.
I live in a two bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor of a three story building, and we have a little balcony that is separated from the living room by a sliding glass door. The other day I looked out through the glass door and saw something peculiar. There was a perfectly intact little bird egg, balancing ever so carefully on the narrow railing of the balcony.

You gotta be kidding me. Seriously?
Okay, I have a story about this photo.
Are you ready?
I pass by this tree when I'm walking to my car from my office. It is a beautiful, old tree. Usually I see an average of 6 squirrels and countless little birds climbing up and down and playing in the branches, at any given time. It is a popular tree among the local wildlife. I will often stop for a moment and watch the little animals scurrying around.
Yesterday, as I was walking past the tree, I looked up and saw a HUGE hawk perched on one of the low branches. It was an absolutely beautiful creature, and so close! Since I have been participating in a 365 photos project I have been carrying my camera with me much more frequently. I felt super awesome as a whipped out my camera and started snapping away. He sat still for a while and let me indulge in photographing such a rare and beautiful sight, but then after a few minutes he flaunted his great wingspan and took flight, flying right over my head. It was breathtaking.
Once the hawk was gone I of course was anxious to look at the treasures on my camera. I hit the review button and what was displayed? Not the beautiful photos I had just taken, but a little error message reading "No Memory Card". NOOOoooooo!
Yes.... I had taken the memory card out to upload some photos, and had forgotten to put it back in. So now all I have to share with you is an empty tree.
