Its beautiful.

(152,451 posts)It IS permanent. Twice a year you can stand in the keyhole and look west at sunset, and the sun will be precisely lined up with it. I've never gotten to do that--someday!

Nice pictures, makes me miss the farmer's market already!
CaliforniaPeggy
(152,451 posts)I had fun taking them! Like I always do!
I know I would miss it if it suddenly disappeared. Our climate allows it to run year-round.

(35,162 posts)TY for sharing your trip to the market with us, Peggy. I love the last pic of the flower.
CaliforniaPeggy
(152,451 posts)You know how I am about sharing. I swear this is in my DNA.
That flower really intrigued me; I had to take its photo!

(35,162 posts)Is there usually a musician there or was this a first?
CaliforniaPeggy
(152,451 posts)I don't normally pay much attention, actually. But this guy was good and I was sitting down for a moment. And then, of course, the camera!
The flower's colors caught my eye. And the rest is history.

(5,499 posts)Your old standby lens is perfect for food and floral photos. The crisp details and vibrant colors are magnificent.
CaliforniaPeggy
(152,451 posts)Now, that lens is hardly old! I think I've had it about a year or so! And I love using it. It's really responsive.
Thank you for your very kind words.

Note to self: MUST go to La Baguette in the morning for croissants and custard tarts!
