Wordless Wednesday - Colorful


They melt in your mouth, not in your hand
Toronto, ON, September 2007 [Click to embiggen]

Your turn: Does a jolt of color help offset the seasonal descent into grayness?

One more thing: I'm apparently becoming addicted to taking pictures of brightly colored candy - Smarties, Glosettes, Reese's Pieces, Peanut M&Ms, you name it. If it's edible, I'll shoot it. If you're hungry, you may want to pause before following these links. Just sayin'.

oh yes, "grayness" sometimes the season brings on emotional grayness but I live in southern CA. It was in the high 80's and sunny. My girls would agree that the color of M & M's is a cure all!

Colorful indeed -- although I still haven't gotten used to seeing the blue ones. Happy WW.

This picture just earned you a first-visit add to my Bloglines! LOVE IT! The color AND the content.

I visited you, not from the WW page but b/c of your comment @ Pamela's. Definitely glad I did!

Pamela said...

Lil Knitter said...

I am not sure what is all the fuss about blue M&M's, I like them all. There goes my diet...!

So clear it makes me want to reach into the picture and steal a couple. *grin*

Thanks for the color relief, Carmi. It is certainly a brown world in my neck of the woods.

Jen said...

I have to go grocery shopping this morning.. do you think a bag of M&M's will jump in my cart now? lol

Coach Paulette said...

Wonderful, comforting shot! My first visit to your site - such stunning photographic talent! Is it natural eye or did you have any lessons? My 8 year old daughter lives with her camera by her side!

Seeing that in Oklahoma the temps yesterday were in the high 70's and today it will be in the low 70's....I wouldn't need the jolt of color yet. I don't think we'll ever see Fall.

carrie said...

those look surprisingly good at 8 am...

**"Liza"** said...

M&M never gets tired of it..happy WW!

Le Butterfly said...

Yummy

Great idea for WW. Love the colours.

Happy WW.

Sandee said...

I promise I didn't take very many. Yummy. Have a great WW. :)

Harlekwin said...

When I need a little shot of chocolate and a bit of color to go along with it, nothing works better than an M&M.

Fun picture! Thanks for visiting my site and for you comment.

Jennifer said...

Did you post this one to try to entice me out of lurkdom? 'Cause it sure worked...you say M&Ms, and I'm there :) Gorgeous! :)

Nestor Family said...

I am not sure if my previous response went through... so here it is again. Sorry.

Look again at the number of responses you get when you post a photo of CHOCOLATE!!!

This color brightens any day!

Rebecca said...

Hey, who ate all the green ones?

Happy WW :P

Dak-Ind said...

i dont know about the jolt. I never really understood seasonal depression until i was trapped in a house with a toddler who wants OUT regardless of the wind, rain, cold, and misery out there.

but actually, one of the things that brightens my day is visiting you, and my other blog friends! color or no.

Anonymous said...

We have seasonal brownness, if that. When did they start making BLUE m&ms?

Nice Wednesday post, hope you are having great Wednesday! Come check out my blog! I love Wednesdays blogs, I get some nice laughs out of some!

There's a reason my sister calls them "Vitamin M." They do have some kind of happy power.

Happy WW

Diana said...

Now was that nice?! I need some chocolate!

Shannon @ Gabi's World said...

Ahhhh your killing me! I've been on a diet for only 6 days and am having major chocolate cravings right now!

Happy WW!

bluemountainmama said...

ooh... one of my favorite guilty pleasures! :) and i love the perspective of the photo! i definitely like to have a little color around in gray november... this month is also when i root out my candles and put them in the windows to add a little coziness, too.

Moon said...

All that did was make me hungry for chocolate! ...but hey Carmi, u should have used Smarties instead of M&M's ,as a canadian lol, They don't have them in the USA.

Anonymous said...

Yummie! I love m&m's! Thanks for stopping by Carmi.

Becky said...

(a man after my own heart with this one...LOL)
Yummy Picture! I thrive on chocolate and love M&M's! And yes color does help break the bleakness around here! I like your post for today!!!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Have a Wonderful Day!

tammi said...

Mmmmm, I'll take any colour to fight off the greyness of a Canadian winter!! ESPECIALLY if there's chocolate hiding underneath!!

Thanks for the great compliments on my lucky photography! ;)

CAM said...

Love the colors. Here in Wyoming everything is turing Brown, soon to be followed by White. A splash of color is always welcome

Amy said...

Yumm. Now I'm running for the chocolate. Currently the sun is keeping the gray away. No such luck for tomorrow I'm sure!

BeccA's Buzz said...

Yum! Who doesn't like 'Nooms' as my nephew would call them. LOL

Lynette3boys said...

Mmmmm.....You read my mind. I need some chocolate! Beautiful shot!

BeccA's Buzz said...

BTW, "Idealist!"
(get it??? eh? nevermind, I'm a dork)

Elizabeth McQuern said...

How funny, I just posted about obsessive eating habits -- specifically about salads having taken the place of the entire bags of M&M's I used to eat (but only in matching color pairs).

YUM.

Anonymous said...

I like your picture and I love chocolate. Didn't follow the links because there is no chocolate candy in my house right now and that would cause a crisis.
Remember when there was no blue M&M's?

Just Mhe said...

Gosh....thats indeed colourful. Me too I love colourful stuff.

Yummy!

Happy WW!

Kristin said...

I love the colors and the close-up/macro. I did something similar with a box of crayons, if you are looking for more ideas with color.

Thanks for your very nice comments and for coming by!

Chad Oneil Myers said...

Down here in Sunny Florida, the Holiday season doesn't become "gray" ;)

I love this image, Carmi.

Beverly said...

Yum-yum! I love those bright colors. When they make the pink and white ones for Valentine's Day, I don't think they taste nearly as good.

awareness said...

look at the number of comments on here Carmi. wow!

Colour surges on a November day? I was able to capture some amazing colour today too..... mine can't be eaten, but consumed by the eyes. come see..........

ps. I really want you to see the still life photo I took on the weekend of apples. I was THRILLED by the result. It reminded me of the light captured in a Mary Pratt painting. Let me know what you think.........hey that's putting you on the spot isn't it?? :)

Dragonheart, Merlin, Devi, and Chloe said...

Wonderful shot! Very cool and colourful. :)

Kris said...

YUM! I was growing weary of the orange and dark brown M&M's staring me down from my candy jar...a very refreshing jolt of color!

Happy WW!

Gill said...

That looks delish!

Crunchy Domestic Goddess said...

bright and colorful! so cheery (and tasty). :)

tommie said...

ooohh,M&Ms, my bribe of choice. They come in so many fun colors. I have potty-trained two kids with those magical little candies!
