That was something that I (mostly) had not considered. But there it is.

I just had a little cheesy snack and wow was it good!

It was some sort of gouda, but don't recall which one.

Nicely done.

Your eye for composition is what makes these ordinary things so remarkable

It's funny; I'm not even aware of how I look for the best composition. I just do it. It's amazing.

I"m still grieving over AndyS's loss and supportive remarks like this one from you really help me feel better.

What are those things in the first picture? I like the lighting in #2. I like all the rest too.

I have to say that I have no idea what those are! The one thing I do know is that they're flowers, but no idea what kind. Very exotic!

Glad you enjoyed the series!

It's really humbling to have your praise nearly every time I post a photo. I appreciate your support greatly.

The light on the lettuce drew my eye and the rest is history!

It's the Manhattan Beach farmer's market, which is in my town. Runs weekly on Tuesdays.

It's a fixture in my life!

I think my favorites are the spiky pink flowers and the second one of the lettuce. But the radishes (?) are lovely, too. Nicely done!

Wish I knew what kind of flowers those are. They just amazed me!

The veggies you thought were radishes are really beets! It could be the closeness of the shot that made them look like radishes. I bought some and they're a bit on the small side, which I prefer.

It was a lot of fun, taking all those photos!

Maybe your hunger will help you get to a healthier place? Stranger things have happened!

I wanted a different angle on the berries, and in spite of the swarm of people buying stuff right and left, I was able to get it!

This vendor is very popular and they're always busy!

That market is always interesting and varied!

It was a beautiful sunny but chilly day and a lot of folks were out shopping.
