When everything looks this great, they show up very well in the photos.

It helps to have great equipment as well.

The flowers just blew me away! And some of the vegetables were new to me. No idea what they are.

So I took their photos!

Glad you enjoyed.

Every now and then I go nuts at a couple of the local farmer's markets, and today was one of those days.

Maybe because of the rain, everything looked much more beautiful and exotic than they normally do.

I have no idea what they are, but I thought they certainly deserved to have their photo taken.

I don't always go to both.

Tuesday is Manhattan Beach's farmer's market. And Thursday is the one in El Segundo.

The MB market is slightly bigger with somewhat better choices.

I hadn't even thought of that, but you're right about the calendar and promoting local markets.

Glad you enjoyed!

We are so fortunate to have year-round markets. Of course the selection is much better in the summer, but even the winter months have good stuff.
Enjoy your market on Thursday!

My daughter did an abstract of the same orange/ red flower in a cobalt blue vase I have...we call it Lorraine's flowers. She was an old neighbor, who picked them from her garden for me.

Thank you for sharing, excellent as always.

I can bet your daughter's work is gorgeous! Good for her, and for your neighbor.

I appreciate your kind words about my work! They keep me sharing.
