They are so naturally crisp and vivid.

That is a huge compliment! This is what I aim for. Thank you again.

That 1st one certainly takes the prize with the pop of white blooms really embraces the perfect angle of sunlight! Outstanding!

When I saw those flowers, I hoped to be able to capture both elements. Sometimes things go the way you hope!

I really gravitate towards colorful things. They make me happy!

brought them home and made a stab at cooking them.
A few years ago we were at Morro Rock and found abalone at the fish market. Cruising in my 1970 Airstream. Tried to pound it out and saute. First time.
Nothing special, but at $20 a shell, decided not to refine my talents. Still, have the shell on display in a bookcase.
Hear so many good stories about squash blossoms. Must be a great market.

You are way braver than I am! I rarely try cooking anything unless the person selling can give me a recipe!

This market is small but they do have a couple of vendors that bring wonderful things.

The first one, somehow the tiny light purple flowers amid the darker purple ones almost look like sunlight reflecting off of glass. Your eye saw it and your camera caught it. Very nicely done, Peggy!

You saw something that I didn't! I understand it, since you're an accomplished artist in your own right.

Thank you for mentioning how it looked to you.

I appreciate your wonderful critique very much!

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I normally go to two farmer's markets every week.

Tuesday for the Manhattan Beach market.

Thursday for El Segundo's market.

It's rare that I don't have photos from both!

Thank you for sharing. 💗💗💗

I'm glad you found these beautiful!

Sharing is part of my DNA!
