It seems a shame to waste them
You might wonder why on earth I continue to take photos of blue jelly beans. The truth is, I'm not. Not anymore. It's just that I have some left over - ones I didn't use and it seems a shame to waste them so I've decided to put them on my blog.
I'm not sure who will see the photos. The 30 day challenge has finished so I don't expect any visitors but you never know, someone might pop by :-)
Today's photo is what I would call a jelly bean abstract. The jelly bean is sitting on a piece of glass which is about 2cm above a mirror. Hence the effect of the bottom bean being lighter than the top.

Day Thirty
I would have liked to have taken a photo of the full teddy covered in beans but I just didn't have enough good looking beans anymore. A lot of them have either been chopped in half, drawn on, burnt, munted, frozen, microwaved or something just as weird. Teddy looks a bit overwhelmed and who wouldn't be! if they were covered with jelly beans.
And so I got to the end. Who thought there would have been so many ways to photograph blue jelly beans!!! It is my intention to post a bonus tomorrow just to round off the month.

Day Twenty Six
Today's picture was again an idea of my daughters. The trophy is a softball trophy my son won when he was younger.
Today's bonus is for kimbomac. She wanted to see the jelly beans all lined up like an army. Below we have the guards outside the jelly bean castle. Yesterday's and today's props kindly provided by the toy library I work for!

Day Twenty Five
This picture is really a sequel to Day Two and in answer to dollyllama's comment for that day, yes, I did try picking the jelly beans up with chop sticks - while taking the photo too!
Kim, I now have enough ideas to see me into August so I can afford to be generous :-)
Today's bonus is for Master Gnu who wanted to see a blue jelly bean love-scene with lit candles and a really cozy atmosphere. I didn't quite manage that but I did get a peek inside the jelly bean house this morning while they were having breakfast.

Day Twenty Four
Blue Jelly Bean Salad. Can't decide what I think about today's photo. My daughter thinks the lettuce and tomato look plastic but I can assure you they are real. Thank you BerlinBear for your suggestion - I hope you're not too disappointed with the outcome.
Today's bonus is dedicated to YMS who on day five suggested I try blue jelly bean finger nails. Unfortunately this didn't work too well. Whole jelly beans looked out of place and when I tried to slice them in half they went all squishy and the outer layer started to crack - so here's an alternative - just for you.

Day Twenty Three
I have 441 blue jelly beans and 82 orange M&Ms. And yes, some of them are beginning to look a bit worn!! No I am not even tempted to eat any of them, the places these jelly beans have been makes them unfit for human consumption! I'm not even tempted to eat the other coloured jelly beans I still have. In fact, I don't think I will ever eat a jelly bean again!!
Today's idea is thanks to my daughter. I didn't think I was going to have enough jelly beans to pull this one off but with some blue cloth filling the bottom of the water feature it just worked. Below is a picture of the complete water feature.

Glowing Jelly Beans today.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your kind and encouraging comments on my pictures so far. It's much easier to continue with the challenge when there's feedback on the photos so THANK YOU!
And apologies for my lack of comments on YOUR photos. Hopefully it won't be too long before my energy levels return and I'll make an effort to catch up with my comments.

Day Six
Today I bought more supplies. Do you have any idea how long it takes to pick out only blue jelly beans from the pick n mix??
For me today was an example of how perceverance pays off. It wasn't easy to keep the jelly beans in the baskert with the holes being so big and I very nearly settled for second best with a photo of the jelly beans in the trolley wrapped in glad wrap / cling film. I am SO glad I kept trying! The end result is so much better!

Day Five
Jelly Bean in ice. Previously when I have attempted to freeze jelly beans, the colour has run and the results have been less than desirable. This time however I had the idea of painting the jelly beans with clear nail polish with much better results.
Edit: Ok. So you can't really see the see the jelly bean so here's another picture taken when the ice cube had melted a bit.
