4. Thanks so much, my dear sprinkleeninow!

I had the identical reaction to yours when I spotted these beauties!

I've been waiting for our local growers to produce them, and today my waiting is over! We'll have them the rest of the summer and I couldn't be happier!

3. Fantastic as usual my dear Peg

Delicious looking berries especially those big fat blue ones! I've been using a lot of dill lately too I love how delicate it is.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks so much, my dear Tom Kitten!

Their berries are especially good. I simply had to have some blueberries tonight with vanilla ice cream!

I should try fresh dill sometime! Do you have a favorite dish that you like it in?

7. Lovely as always Peggy

Your Farmers market photos are a highlight to the week!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Aw, thanks so much, my dear MN2theMax!

You are too kind!

I have so much fun taking these! Trying to get the best angle, the best composition and all that, besides staying out of the way of the paying customers!

It's a blast for me, and I'm so happy that you enjoy them this much.

11. Thanks so much, my dear Deuxcents!

I appreciate your lovely words!

I couldn't resist the blueberries with some vanilla ice cream after dinner tonight. That combo is so good!

14. Oh...there ya go..a perfect dessert...yummy

[niyad]

10. Oh, my dear Ms. Peggy, they are just wonderful, the yellows glowing. Too late for

a sakad or dessert, but, ohhhhhhh, how tempting!!!

Our local markets are starting, but no real local produce yet, just jams and soaps and sauces and such.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you so much, my dear niyad!

I was quite happy with my photos today. The sky was stubbornly overcast nearly the whole day but the colors still showed up!

I hope your local markets will soon be overflowing with real produce very soon! The heirloom tomatoes finally showed up today and I was truly excited to see them.

[niyad]

13. One could not tell from your photos that it was overcast!

The real local produce will not really start showing up for another month or so (our growing season is SHORT!!!), but should be good.

15. Yummy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Indeed, yes! Thanks so much, my dear HAB911. ♥ nt

16. Another splendid collection of colorful photos! Heirloom tomatoes are the stars this week.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

I almost jumped for joy when I spotted them! They're not quite ripe enough to eat--yet. Soon!

[Diamond_Dog]

17. Exquisite market photos, Peggy!

You always find such an interesting variety of shapes and colors.

The dill makes me feel like I’m in a forest of tall trees! I just love the smell of it. I love fresh dill on roasted salmon. And the heirloom tomatoes! I agree with Mousetoescamper, they are the stars of this array.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Ah, you're too kind, as always! Thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

It's easy to find great stuff at this market. I take full advantage of it!
