It's been too long since I took my camera and 14-42mm lens to the MB Farmer's Market . . .

But I did today!

1. And we are so happy that you did. Making me hungry!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Ah, my dear niyad! Thank you.

It was great being there.

3. Those strawberries look delectable.

Mmm, mmmm, mmmmm!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My thoughts exactly, my dear 3catwoman3! Everything is super fresh there. YUM. ♥ nt

4. An interesting collection of shots, but IMO the squash take the show!

The apples are a close second, though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thank you so much, my dear CrispyQ!

When I saw the squash, I knew I had to get a photo of them. It took me a minute to figure out the best angle.

I think I got it.

7. Looks like someone, somewhere got some rain. Sigh

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Alas, no rain for us! August in Southern California rarely sees rain. ♥

9. Beautiful!

My favorite is the purple flowers because of the composition, and second favorite is the apples because of the quality of the photo.

All are superb!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog, for your beautiful critique!

I appreciate your lovely remarks a whole lot!

11. Our local squirrels would love the last photo especially.

Strawberries can’t even ripen before they’re stolen!

All your photos are beautiful. And I can almost smell the eucalyptus.

Thanks.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thank you so much, my dear spooky3!

Oh, those greedy squirrels!

I love the scent of eucalyptus. Great stuff!

12. Beautiful!

I can almost smell those apples. Flowers too but the apple, not sure what kind, sort of look like MacIntosh and that's what I smell. I am looking forward to the apple season so I can make some pies.

The strawberries remind me of a color test page for red ink, it's mesmerizing too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Many thanks, my dear 2naSalit!

I didn't notice what kind of apples they are, but they were gorgeous. I'm sure they're wonderful.

And the strawberries wouldn't let me leave until I'd gotten their best angle!

Thank you again!

15. And there goes

my diet...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I love your crazy comment, my dear Old Crank!

All of the food is healthy! There's not a sinner in the bunch.

Thank you for having a look, and for making me laugh . . .

I love the farmer's market

18. Thank you, my dear Callalily--I'm so glad you do! ♥ nt
