Only from the heart can you touch the sky by Allison

Only from the heart can you touch the sky

This morning while shopping, I went past the Hallmark store and Aaron wanted to go in. Just before Christmas the pair of us were in there, and I bought Aaron a John Wayne and Jango Fett Christmas Tree ornaments. Anyway at the moment they have a 50% sale.....we must have been in there for nearly an hour......so many goodies. Aaron got a Tazmanian Devil, and I got a plastic heart filled with the above......I wasn't sure if they were candy......they were not candy........blech!!!!! :-)
Disappointing! But they make a lovely photo.

@hh I'm not sure if you're supposed to throw them in the tub as they tasted soapy.....yuck.....I had to get some chocolate after that ;-) Thanks Kate :-)
January 11th, 2014  
Tiddlywinks???
January 11th, 2014  
@hh they feel foamy, and taste disgustingly soapy lol.....at least I can use them for photos come February :-)
January 11th, 2014  
Good plan :0)
January 11th, 2014  
I'm glad you paid half price...they do make a sweet shot though!
January 11th, 2014  
Great shot! love the focus and colour. FAV
January 11th, 2014  
Nice focal usage and DOF. So sorry to hear about the non-candy discovery :( The texture sure looks like candy :)
January 11th, 2014  
I hope you didn't eat one. Great picture though
January 11th, 2014  
@hh :-)
@kwind thank you :-)
@seanoconnorphotography thank you so much Sean :-) I hope your weather is improving :-)
@adamj so disappointing....a bit like thinking you have the lottery winning numbers, only to discover you don't ;-) lol
@dalboy no I didn't......thanks Graeme :-)

These remind me of Valentine's Day. Sounds like you had a fun time with Aaron - great times and great memories. Stick to chocolate. It always tastes better than soap!
January 11th, 2014  
@ishutter haha much better :-) It was a fun morning, although Hallmark +10yr old boy = taking out a second mortgage ;-) lol
January 11th, 2014  
They are really pretty though. My mum and dad went to Tasmania just before Christmas and came home with a Tazzie Devil for each of my girls, they love their Taz's, hope Aaron enjoys his.
January 11th, 2014  
love the texture, makes me feel like dragging my fingers through them.
January 11th, 2014  
"I had to get some chocolate after that" ..............yeah, like you need an excuse! :D and I can't stop laughing at the thought of a John Wayne Christmas tree ornament, I want one! You should stick to Love Hearts....photos AND sweets in one - can you get them in the States? (I'll post you some) :)
January 11th, 2014  
Simple and effective!
January 11th, 2014  
@nicolecampbell he's enjoying it....thanks Nicole :-)
@bluefirebucket lol you know me too well Mick :-) I was telling Richard Cromwell (who occasionally posts here) over Christmas, that I had no idea Aaron knew John Wayne, never mind liked him :-) But yeah, we're going to have one funky looking Christmas tree next year lol, and yes, I think we can get Love Hearts over here....well something similar, but they're not the same :-)
January 11th, 2014  
@nicholas thanks James :-)
January 11th, 2014  
Neat shot but d'oh for trying to eat it. There's a really delicate quality conveyed by the DoF
January 11th, 2014  
Nice soft pink image!
January 11th, 2014  
not candy, what a shame. Nice shot ;)
January 11th, 2014  
Lovely soft color and soft lighting. Very beautiful composition.
January 11th, 2014  
it's so soft!!! i love it :)
January 11th, 2014  
Ugh! What a disappointment when you are expecting food! At least you got a lovely romantic image out of it.Plus you had an excuse to eat chocolate.:) Aaron has good taste ..I love the Tasmanian Devil!
January 12th, 2014  
Sucks it wasnt candy but what a pretty shot :-)
January 12th, 2014
