Knowing how you feel makes me feel very happy! I had a great time today too.

When I saw the backlit jars of honey, I knew I had to get those! Backlit is one of my big favs. The figs are top with me as well.

I really like that marigold and the next one, whatever those flowers are.

It's really nice--a lot more spread out with more room for everybody.

I wanted to see how close I could get to the marigolds! (I'm thinking I want a macro lens!) And those flowers (the ones that look like they've got stitches?) So beautiful!

Though I only have what's in my clunky point/shoot. It's a decent lens. I have a technique that I'm sure you'll appreciate, I'll put the glass right up against the subject and back off from there. I want to see the pollen grains, dangit.

Andy had a 60 mm macro lens and I've been eying it on a website. I have to think about how much use I'd get out of it and then I pause.

Someday, maybe . . .

You'll use it far more than you think, like at the farmer's market because all those closer closeups you imagine but can't reach... you might never go back!

When Ilook for a camera, anymore, I check to see the macro capabilities first.

What you're telling me are things I've said to myself. And around the house, any budding plant isn't safe from this lens!

I"m still thinking about it.

Next time you feel like splurging on something, if I were you, I'd get the lens.

Splendid photos!

Boxes of blue? The berries? Not sure what you mean.

Glad you enjoyed. I did wonder if you were going to leave a comment! Glad you did.

I was watching Kamala's magnificent speech.

I was taking a nap and didn't see her speech. I"m sure I'll catch some bits later.

She's damn good.

Thanks, Peggy! I was at my market in Maine today for the best feta in the world, and picked up a giant (6.5 lb) cabbage, deciding there and then to try again to make sauerkraut. It’s in my gorgeous fermenting jar right now. I love going to the farmers market!

I'm so glad you were able to go and fulfill a dream. Hope it works out.

Sunshine for the soul is exactly right!

You always bring the beauty and joy to share with this community. I appreciate your art and the gifts of the farmers and nature that you capture so skillfully. Thanks again and always. You truly do make the world a better place.

I mean it.

That was such a beautiful statement. How can I adequately thank you? I am deeply touched.

I always will try to make the world a better place.

my imagination, even the images feel more expansive. Sounds like a win for everyone involved. Thank you for sharing!

I just got done with dinner and that kept me from answering you sooner. Mea culpa!

It's a very expansive venue. Lots of room for everyone, vendors, shoppers and all of us.

It definitely is a win!

And you know how I feel about sharing.
