they remind me of warmth. It’s cold and damp here in PA with winter only starting. Thanks for the short visit to comfortable weather. ☀️

So glad you're enjoying them!

I had fun taking them. The market has been closed due to the holidays and I was champing at the bit to get there!

It was a truly satisfying experience.

start before the second weekend in June, and it will still be several weeks after that before things start getting good! Still, your photos warm my soul, and remind me of the beauty and plenty out there. Please keep them coming!

On that note, I am going to go make a salad, with wonderful CA goodies!!!

Happiest of New Years to you, dear Miss Peggy.

Some days I really worry that I'm doing too many of these sort of photos, and then I get a wonderful response like yours, and I know I will keep on!

Thank you so much. I want everybody to remember the beauty and plenty that's out there.

Enjoy your California salad! And thank you for the New Year wishes too.

I always look for the most interesting stuff; they tend to photograph well!

I suspect that first flower is some sort of sunflower, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone will come along and tell us!

Glad you enjoyed my photos!

It is a beautiful area and the cost of living has gone up a lot since so many people want to live here.

So that's what they are! I recognize the name but couldn't remember it.

It's the first time I've seen them at this market.

It’s so wonderful to see. It’s been cold, gray, and gloomy here for so long. Your photos are just what I needed to see today!

Love the kohlrabi…..

I'm so used to our normally sunny days that I forget the rest of the country is stuck in almost-winter!

I'm so glad to have brought you a bit of color and sunshine, esp. since you really needed them today!

I have discovered that the heirloom tomatoes are way more tasty than any other kind! When I see them, I get some!
