Sweet Temptation

The day before yesterday was Ash Wednesday so I decided to 'give up' chocolates, sweets and biscuits for Lent.
Not for any religious reasons, I might add, but because it makes sense to do a bit of fasting and healthy eating after the winter.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day and my husband presented me with a box of luxury Irish chocolates.
As the great Irish writer Oscar Wilde famously said: 'I can resist everything except temptation.'

:-) There's also another saying ... "You only live once!" or "yolo" as the kids say nowadays.

Are you suggesting that chocolates are unhealthy???
Oh, wait, you're right, of course. let me just send you my address so that I can, er, save you from them.
I'd guess that this is with your macro lens. It's done a nice job of capturing the topography of the treats.
