To see such interesting shapes and colors every time, but you do! TY for sharing!

I guess it must be inborn, 'cause I just look and whatever strikes my fancy is what gets photographed. It doesn't even matter what it is! If my eye likes it, then it's mine!

My eyes and brain and heart and soul needed those colorful photos of the Farmers Market fare. Thank you, Peggy.

I think many of us are in that same place these days, and I'm thrilled to be able to help with my favorite hobby.

Ty for sharing!

You've got an interesting variety of colors and textures.

I roasted cauliflower last night. One of my favorites.

I takes 'em as I sees 'em!

Whatever looks good to me and gets into my sights is fair game!

The cala Lillie's and the yellow 💛 flower, oh my. Just exquisite.

I'm so happy you're enjoying them. They knocked me out too.

The colors and the shapes really draw me in.

I am curious about the top photo. It’s striking - what is it?

The lilies appear to me as a crowd of lovely French nuns as if from a children’s book, but I don’t know exactly why. They made me smile.

A person could get lost in the spiraling heart of that sunflower, and I want to gather those smooth potatoes up and take them home.

They're actually quite tiny but so beautiful. They don't usually bloom this time of year, but this lonely one is anyway.

I loved the lilies too! And the sunflower is amazing! I felt the same way about the potatoes, even though I have enough at home!

Thanks for your kind remarks, my dear Easterncedar!

Some welcome reminders that not everything is looking ugly out there.

But most especially the Calla Lilies. That's such a smooth texture.

I'm thrilled you do! I had to photograph the calla lilies even though I have many times before.

I guess I'm addicted!

With odd shaped flowers. Callas are like a magnet! But they are a great subject with their smooth lines and texture and the shape is different so they catch your eye.

But I'm a flower nut, if it's a flower, look out I have to take a picture of that!

In love with the roses! 💗💗💗

Those roses were amazing!

Singular: Alcatraz

They remind me of this painting of Frida Khalo by her lover, Diego Rivera:

Such an evocative painting!

And thank you for the etymology of the word alcatraces! Languages are so amazing.

In Mexican culture, calla lilies are a symbol of femininity, sensuality and sexuality. In Diego Rivera's paintings, calla lilies accompanied portraits of women to symbolize their sensuality and femininity.

The association of this flower with the prision of Alcatraz sheds a different twist to the word.

I used to rent in the Smoky Hollow district.

Hope you enjoyed them.

I left my wallet there once.

By A Tribe Called Quest. I was attempting humor.

Your lovely farmers market photos sooth my soul.

I'm glad I can help a little.

I suspect all of us can use a bit of soul-soothing these days.

Thanks for the gorgeous photos. Everything looks so alive and vibrant. My wife and I used to live nearby in Playa del Rey and we miss that area very much.

Playa del Rey is a beautiful part of LA County; I can bet you miss it. Sorry you had to leave.

I do these threads every week. Tuesday for the Manhattan Beach Farmer's Market, and Thursday for El Segundo.

Hope you can come by and see what's up!

Many thanks, Peggy!

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! It was my pleasure.
