I wasn't going to take my camera to the Farmer's Market today . . . but I'm glad I did!
The sun was out for the first time in weeks, and there was so much interesting stuff to see.
I hope you'll enjoy seeing these as much as I did, taking them.

I'd thought I was posting these so late in the day that nobody would see them, much less comment!
I'm glad to be wrong. And I'm even more glad that I took my camera and that you appreciate my efforts.  |

It's too much for me to handle, honestly.
I like the smaller, quieter markets with convenient parking and so on. I'm all about sharing! It's fun taking photos, but it loses something without sharing. Even if it is late!  |

We do have so much to be grateful for, so much abundance. And we mostly take it for granted.
I'm glad you enjoyed my pictures. This is a fairly new camera and I'm still learning it. And I'm having such a great time with it! I truly live in paradise, and I never forget how lucky I am.  |

Thank you for your lovely comments. I haven't seen the ads for Peyronie's disease, but I'm not surprised that they use carrots as props!
We've been using carrots for such demonstrations for a very long time. And you know any man who has this condition is an unhappy camper. Not a humorous situation at all. The ads, on the other hand, most likely are. |

And there are so many super professional photographers out there too. Yours is high praise and I'm honored by it. |

Farmer's Markets are so much the same, so I'm always looking for new subjects and new ways of photographing them.
Sounds like I succeeded today! Thank you too for the blessings. |

The vegetables and everything else that's edible are always like that!
No pesticides or yucky stuff either. Fresh as can be and at reasonable prices. I love shopping there! |

Apparently they taste like "normal" cauliflowers.
Love the color! Thanks for commenting.

I am a sucker for a pile of flowers! Looking through my catalogue of photos, probably something over a third to half of them are flowers. And I'm so in need of flowers that I just spent the last three weeks trashing my back so I will have flowers smothering my porch and areas around my home... because I have to have flowers.
Last year the deer ate everything but the nasturtiums so I planted more of those than I can count along with other stuff they don't like such as chives and lavender. Now it's just watering and a little weeding at times. And I an chill for a few days now that the planting is over.  |

Yeah, I was feeling more adventurous that day and thought some other POV's would be a good idea.
I was also looking more diligently for different colors and shapes too. Don't want to bore anyone! Yeah, the strawberries did look good, but I didn't buy any. I wanted blackberries, blueberries and raspberries! And you know how I am about sharing.
