My photos from El Segundo's Farmer's Market today!















And a special photo! This lady was wearing a stunning jacket and she enthusiastically agreed to being photographed in it! I just sent her a copy and she was pleased. Hope all of you enjoy!

Colorful fresh veggies look so healthy and delicious!

That lady’s jacket is amazing! I’m glad she let you take her photo!

Everything is locally grown and nothing has to travel very far! I want to support the local farmers too.

You know me, I'm not afraid of a challenge! She was very friendly besides.

Thank you once again for the photos. What do you buy when you go there? Everything you photograph looks so good. As for me, I would have a hard time staying within my budget. I would have to limit myself to only going occasionally.

I actually buy a small amount of produce at this market. It's just me and my husband and we don't eat huge meals anymore!

I buy berries (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) plus the occasional batch of potatoes and maybe broccoli, plus tomatoes!

Lettuce and quiche come from the other market, on Tuesday. I take more photos than buy anything!

The prices seem reasonable to me. It's not expensive. Our growing season is nearly all year round.

And I greatly appreciate your noticing the lighting in nos. 4 & 5!

I had noticed it, but subliminally! Your comment brought my attention to those photos very acutely and I appreciate that.

I'm so glad you enjoy my work.

The tomatoes were gorgeous from across the booth that was put up. And I felt sooo lucky with the lady and the jacket.

She was shopping with the same vendor that I was, so I was standing right next to her! Asking her permission was no problem at all.

and respite after all the sad and horrible news I was just reading. So desperately needed to be reminded that there is still beauty and delight out there.


Thank you for including that lovely lady and her jacket.

For your beautiful words that help me.

To think that I can help you get past the awful, ugly news every day, means that somehow I can bring beauty and delight to you and to all who see my work.

You honor me and my work and for this I am very grateful.
