Raining Smarties

Monday 9th May - Day 142

I must be ill, or perhaps it is the influence of Donna wanting me to play with my sweeties. I used to be addicted to Smarties as a child, and have been known to fall under the influence occasionally still.

Anyway, take 3 tubes (yes 3, that appears to be the critical mass for this experiment), White paper and gravity and see what happens.

This experiment was bought to you by the letters m, o, and y

Note: Smarties are not the same as M&M's!

Apparently I have Sinusitis, and I expect a few more days of this condition... I've been prescribed antibiotics. Thanks for all those who are concerned.

some out-takes

What a fun photo!!!!!
See ... photography is the best medicine when you're feeling under the weather - it just spurrs al sorts of wonderfully creative ideas!
(Do you eat the red ones last?)

I think these are really Peeps' eggs. I am thinking you have some Peeps and you were holding them up over the white paper and squeezing and doing forced egg production. :)
This is a nice shot, Lee .. I love the motion of it and the bright colors against the white - and I liked Smarties a lot as a kid, too.

What an absolutely fantastic idea for an image. The motion blur is perfect! I hope you can enter this in a competition of some sort. Great abstract! Voted.

The smarties do something different for me, maybe because school is right now constantly on my mind. I am thinking. Maybe if I eat them, I get smart and do not have to study LOL.

Oooo. I love smarties. Get well soon.

Lots of blue ones, I remember a time when there were no blue smarties!
Guest 09-May-2005 19:24
I thought these must be the pills you were taking!
Nice lighting. I'll have the orange ones please!

For a minute there I thought you were going delirious on us. Feel better.

3 tubes?! Tough job but I guess someone had to eat them!
Guest 09-May-2005 15:16

I am so sorry you're still ill but there is always something reassuring about having a name for an illness. I hope you feel better soon.
