Jelly Jelly Beans

It was rather grey outside today, and they're saying that it will remain so for the next couple of days as well.  What better time to inject a little colour into your lives, and what better source for getting that colour than some tasty jelly beans!  A few weeks back I found myself at this wonderful store called Bulk Barn with My Lovely Assistant and her Grandmother.  They were on a mission to find ingredients for a dessert she wanted to make, but I had a different mission in mind.  To get myself some tasty treats!  Then, as happens from time to time, a thought flashed through my head.  Back in April, I put up a photograph of a plate of Smarties and I immediately thought it would be cool if I did the same thing with the jelly beans.  I waited for a nice sunny day, which took a little longer than I thought it would, and put the plate next to my patio door and snapped away.   This photograph was shot at f/9, 1/40sec, ISO 100 at 51mm.  Don't they look so very tasty?  I'd invite you all over to have some, but there was a tragic accident just after the shoot and the jelly beans spontaneously combusted.  It seems that the molecular structure of the jelly bean is such that a prolonged exposure to sunlight causes them to suddenly burst.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
