gulls' eggs.................. by jantan

gulls' eggs..................

................ chocolate praline filled ones bought for Graham for Valentine's Day to be precise.

Is it wrong that my choice of valentine's gift for Graham was completely dictated by the fact that as soon as I saw it in the shop I thought 'that would be nice to photograph?' And who said that romance was dead?

I managed to open the box, take my photo and seal it up again without sneaking a little taste of these gorgeous sounding chocs. Quite an achievement I think.

Off now as a trip to Waitrose awaits me - oh the glamour!............
Well done!! I hope that thought is not wrong as I have it all the time!! :-)

Not wrong at all - an excellent decision I would say judgeing by this superb shot!!
February 14th, 2013  
haha....I'm impressed....don't think I could have controlled the urge! Lovely dof.

February 14th, 2013

February 14th, 2013

February 14th, 2013

February 14th, 2013  
One track mind!!! Oh how it has changed though!!! Have a great evening, enjoy the chocs and fab photo!!!
February 14th, 2013  
Love the depth of field. They do look quite yummy.
February 14th, 2013  
Nicely focused,a lovely shot!!
February 14th, 2013  
Very lovely!
February 14th, 2013  
The very first thing I thought of was 'good choice' for photo but I understand we have to do things like that !!!!!!!!!!
Fab job you did too, the focus & DOF are excellent, love the delicate colour as well.
February 14th, 2013  
You're right. It makes a fab photo. I'm guessing he'll enjoy eating them though :o) xx
February 14th, 2013  
Ooooh pretty colours. If I could eat one out of the iPad I would - irresistible! I've somehow managed to have to go to Waitrose on Saturday - it will be full of elderly couples and people who let their toddlers have far too much freedom and I might go mad.
February 14th, 2013  
Mmm, Saturday supermarket sounds grim. Maybe you should treat yourself when you go to Waitrose Judith, that's where the gulls' eggs came from @judithg
February 14th, 2013  
@jantan Oh no - that'll be a diet disaster - I have no willpower!
February 14th, 2013  
Looks yummy!
February 14th, 2013  
They sound delicious. I like your POV and focus.
February 14th, 2013  
Great shot.
February 15th, 2013  
Lovely shot. Funny but I did the same thing. I left a box of chocolates under my hubby's card and he looked puzzled, then before I even grabbed my camera he had a lightbulb moment and asked if he could have one before I took pics or if he needed to wait.
February 15th, 2013  
So sneaky! These looks very yummy. Nicely captured image.
February 15th, 2013  
Oooh.....Fabulous soft focus.....and looking very yummy! : )
February 15th, 2013  
They looks delicious, nice shot :)

Oh how pretty. Lovely gift. If it was wrong, its at least not as wrong as my gift for J, which consisted of an emailed photo of a pair of spoons 'on a puke rag' (his words).
February 16th, 2013  
Yes, but it was a very artfully draped puke rag wasn't it? And I think that e-mailing a valentine's card to somebody you actually lives with is the perfect epitome of new-parenthood. @jewelsandbinoculars
February 16th, 2013  
'lives with'??? I think me has spent too much time in the country! @jewelsandbinoculars
February 16th, 2013  
*laugh* oh but I love your confession! Lovely shot. You have some mighty fine will power.
February 16th, 2013  
That is a fabulous shot. It's a beautiful subject and you captured it perfectly.
And I think it is absolutely fine that your choice of gift was influenced by your photo addiction. There are worse addictions to have. ;-)
Besides, your hubby got a yummy treat out of the whole deal.

Now...if only your hubby had the same photo addiction and felt a need to buy a lovely diamond bracelet for you because he wanted to photograph it. LOL

PS..were the eggs as yummy as they look?
