Be My Friend

West Virginia

I can't say I only eat chocolate once a year but I can say once a year during the holiday season, I eat a lot of chocolate. Therefore, it doesn't count as gluttony if I eat almost a whole box in one sitting. These were left from the original onslaught.

"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate."
Charles Dickens

Great shot and I think I have the same problem....
Janet Donnelly06-Jan-2012 03:05
How long did it take (after you took this delicious shot) for those yummy chocolates to be devoured?
Mary Terry06-Jan-2012 02:54
I still have a bunch of holiday chocolates here...it takes me awhile to get through them as I'm not a huge chocolate lover. Wonderful b/w image! V

Simple yet very complex. Congrats!

Very nice shot Karen, and a most appropriate Dickens quote.

Superb shot Karen! Nicely done. V++

Go for it! Now you have a shot, at least until you finish them off. :) V

I'm a chocoholic. My little friends! :) Love the arrangement here!
royalld03-Jan-2012 02:52
LOL ... how long did they last after shutter release?

Superb quote and a great illustration for it. I love chocolates at Christmas too. V.

A very elegant presentation. And I'm looking forward to finishing off the last of the luxury chocs at work tomorrow -
then it't time for restraint.
Sheila02-Jan-2012 22:52
I like the shot very much, but not because of the chocolates, because of the shot :-)
I'm a sad non-chocaholic. I can barely eat a whole bar of it never mind a boxful of chocs!
But saying that, if you have any coffee cream filled ones, please save for me :-)
Char02-Jan-2012 22:43
I can smell the chocolate just looking at it. Excellent black and white shot, Karen! \/

Dickens had it just right! I'm with you... during the holidays I can make a box of chocolates disappear before you can say the word "chocolate"! Great shot, Karen. Enjoy the rest of these! V
Guest 02-Jan-2012 21:56
Great! V.

I think you have been very restrained to leave these - even if one is a bit nibbled!! :)
