This is a photo challenge to take a picture a week, for 52 weeks. We have multiple contributors posting from around the world on the same theme by Sunday night. The weekly themes are listed at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
I only eat the yellow ones! I also stood in line on Wednesday with 10 people behind me and 10 in front of me. The shelves were bare and everyone seemed like like zombies. I really believe Valentine's Day was founded by the card/flower/candy companies. I'm a cynic but its forced to me.
Agreed Kim. There is NOTHING more unromantic than a day forcing you to be romantic. Love the colors in this. It makes the candy look so appetizing. I used to love searching through my box of sweethearts looking for ones with imperfections. Weird right?
Its funny you say that because while they are still making them, they have changed the words printed since I remember when I was younger. There are still the old standbys such as I Love You, Be Mine and Marry Me. With texting and shortening of our language, some words now on the candy reads: BFF, I <3 U, Love U, LOL, Crazy 4 U, and B Mine. Also: You Rock, Text Me, Gotcha, Dare Ya and Soul Mate. I think I am getting old.
PERFECT~! Love that Kim - the idea and the quality of the shot- perfect composition and just the right depth of focus!

ReplyDeleteoh but I meant to say I love the picture (I took one like this for last year but didnt use it!)
ReplyDeleteSuper shot. Reminds me of enjoying these sweets when I was young! I did not realise they were still made.
