Our market was cancelled today. We are still at 100 degrees, even by the river.

No need for forgiveness! It's an exotic sculpture up in the corner of the library's ceiling. It's meant to represent Kelp!

I think it's quite lovely.

I love the variety here. So many beautiful, colorful flowers and yummy baked goods. And those clumps of tiny mushrooms are fascinating. I've never seen mushrooms like those before, and It took me a sec to figure out what I was looking at. The shapes and textures in that photo are really fun to look at.

I don't always comment on your farmer's market photos, but I always enjoy them, and this was one of my favorite batches yet.

I always try to bring interesting objects for all of you to see. If it catches my eye, I think it'll catch yours!

The first one right off the bat was so cool. Love the motion and composition of that one. The cakes and pastries look scrumptious. And the flowers, so bright, colorful, and cheerful! Love them all!
