As soon as I saw that bread, I KNEW I would photograph it. It's a little scary looking, I think!

Marble rye? Chocolate croissant? Looks delicious , whatever it is. Nice closeup!

And those beautiful flowers - What clear sunlight you seem to have. We are so hazy and humid here, the colors seem rather soggy in comparison, much as I love my market. Today I got beautiful honey, salad greens, the best feta in the world and crispy cukes. Salad for supper makes me happy.

No idea what kind of bread it is; there wasn't any label. It sure does look delicious!

We've had some good westerly breezes lately, from over the bay. It does tend to keep our air cleaner than further inland. The humidity is very temperate; not soggy or damp at all. Clean air was one of the reasons we chose this town to live in!

Your salad sounds wonderful! I hope it meets your expectations.

Thank you so much for those amazing images, Ms Peggy. Took my breath away, in the best way, and now I can actually go tend to my garden for a bit.

I think the photo you're talking about is the 9th one down. And I believe that is actually a sunflower! It really caught my eye, and then my camera caught it!

I truly love the 2nd for the bottom photos. The movement felt by the flowers drawn toward the Sun or " The portable toilets are over there!" I can't decide, both just seem right and natural. lol.

Thank you for always bringing us to the market with you!
