They melt in your mouth, not in your hand

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.
ReplyDeleteYummy! My toddler's favorite candy!
ReplyDeletedelicious--but it's called "POTTY REWARD CANDY" in our house:)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...M&M's
ReplyDeleteThey do look Colorful! I love the blues best! Thanks for stopping by~ Happy WW
great. as if I wasn't hungry enough already. ;P
ReplyDeleteMore hip poundage! Happy and blessed WW!
ReplyDeleteOh how colorfully yummy! Great midnight snack!
ReplyDeleteThis picture just earned you a first-visit add to my Bloglines! LOVE IT! The color AND the content.
ReplyDeleteI visited you, not from the WW page but b/c of your comment @ Pamela's. Definitely glad I did!
:)
thinking about what might happen if I only choose the blue ones
ReplyDeleteOh great...now you've gone and given me the munchies. lol Love the photo. It's definitely a change from the rainy day we've had today.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
I am not sure what is all the fuss about blue M&M's, I like them all. There goes my diet...!

jum jum - I like it :) Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThat´s a really beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteYes, definately. So does chocolate. Now I want some M&M's.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmYUMMY!
ReplyDeleteSo clear it makes me want to reach into the picture and steal a couple. *grin*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the color relief, Carmi. It is certainly a brown world in my neck of the woods.
i just love the mms. i don´t care too much about the color. happy ww
ReplyDeleteI have to go grocery shopping this morning.. do you think a bag of M&M's will jump in my cart now? lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful, 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!
ReplyDeleteSeeing 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.
ReplyDeletethose look surprisingly good at 8 am...
ReplyDeleteM&M never gets tired of it..happy WW!
ReplyDeleteYummy
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for WW. Love the colours.
Happy WW.
I promise I didn't take very many. Yummy. Have a great WW. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I need a little shot of chocolate and a bit of color to go along with it, nothing works better than an M&M.
ReplyDeleteFun picture! Thanks for visiting my site and for you comment.
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! :)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my previous response went through... so here it is again. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteLook again at the number of responses you get when you post a photo of CHOCOLATE!!!
This color brightens any day!
Hey, who ate all the green ones?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW :P
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.
ReplyDeletebut actually, one of the things that brightens my day is visiting you, and my other blog friends! color or no.
We have seasonal brownness, if that. When did they start making BLUE m&ms?
ReplyDeleteNice 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!
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason my sister calls them "Vitamin M." They do have some kind of happy power.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
Now was that nice?! I need some chocolate!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh your killing me! I've been on a diet for only 6 days and am having major chocolate cravings right now!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
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.
ReplyDeleteAll 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.
ReplyDeleteYummie! I love m&m's! Thanks for stopping by Carmi.
ReplyDelete(a man after my own heart with this one...LOL)
ReplyDeleteYummy 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!
Mmmmm, I'll take any colour to fight off the greyness of a Canadian winter!! ESPECIALLY if there's chocolate hiding underneath!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great compliments on my lucky photography! ;)
Love the colors. Here in Wyoming everything is turing Brown, soon to be followed by White. A splash of color is always welcome
ReplyDeleteYumm. Now I'm running for the chocolate. Currently the sun is keeping the gray away. No such luck for tomorrow I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteYum! Who doesn't like 'Nooms' as my nephew would call them. LOL
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.....You read my mind. I need some chocolate! Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteBTW, "Idealist!"
ReplyDelete(get it??? eh? nevermind, I'm a dork)
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).
ReplyDeleteYUM.
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.
ReplyDeleteRemember when there was no blue M&M's?
Gosh....thats indeed colourful. Me too I love colourful stuff.
ReplyDeleteYummy!
Happy WW!
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your very nice comments and for coming by!
Down here in Sunny Florida, the Holiday season doesn't become "gray" ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this image, Carmi.
Love M&M's , great pic.
ReplyDeleteAngela
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.
ReplyDeletelook at the number of comments on here Carmi. wow!
ReplyDeleteColour 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?? :)
Wonderful shot! Very cool and colourful. :)
ReplyDeleteYUM! 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!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
That looks delish!
ReplyDeletebright and colorful! so cheery (and tasty). :)
ReplyDeleteooohh,M&Ms, my bribe of choice. They come in so many fun colors. I have potty-trained two kids with those magical little candies!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... I love M&Ms.
