This tree is part of a hedge of Bottlebrush trees that are in the park where the farmer's market is held every week.

They are very hardy and do well with minimal care. I had not seen them blooming before today.



Mousetoescamper was talking about a different flowering plant.

It's a little cake (I think) with frosting and brown sugar on top.

I really shouldn't eat stuff like that, so I normally don't.

I cannot miss going to this market--there are things I buy every week for our meals!

It's too important to miss.

I did have a good time and I felt well.

I had the wonderful opportunity to capture those food pictures and boy did I take advantage of it!

I'm sorry they made you very hungry, though.

The keyhole object: Twice a year, the sun sets exactly opposite the structure. The dates are displayed on a metal plaque at the base.

People line up to snatch a photo while this is happening.

The colors looked especially bright and vivid this morning, so I photographed it!
