No idea, but I liked how it looked. And it was soft to the touch.

I have the same weakness and this market never fails to have amazing stuff!

I've gotten into the habit of weekly installments of photos from this particular market; tune in next week for more!

Your keen photographer’s eye always finds such a variety of colored and shapes! I like those bright red flowers.

This market is a treasure and I always have so much fun here.

One of the employees at the vegetable vendor wanted me to photograph those, so I obliged him. And he supplied me with an email address so I could send them to him!

I can live with that kind of praise.

Dear California,

You know what I'm going to say. To quote WS Gilbert, "...an attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a not too French French bean..." is not necessarily a healthy thing.

Oh, hell--I confess. I'm sitting here slavering over your pictures. And yes, panting a little bit.

Please keep 'em coming. At least they keep me off the street. For which my family is extremely grateful.

I think these photos are very healthy to see. How others see them is up to them! That includes you.

You know I will keep them coming! Doing these posts every week are good for me too.

Very interesting and cool! Love the Dahlias! All those textures and colors, I like the beans withe the color and line textures, well done. With the first one, I love whatever those are but it looks like too much sun for the exposure. If you see them again, get closer to them, I want to see what they look like up close too. Whatever they are.

Very nice.

I will try to do as you suggest for the first photo, but this vendor doesn't always have the same flowers week in and week out.

But if they do have them next week, I'll get so close that you'll be able to touch them!

And of course, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
