Had a good time today at my local farmer's market! It was a truly beautiful day.

1. I love the gentle light in these photos!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Awwww! My dear Grumpy, thank you so much!

That was something that I (mostly) had not considered. But there it is.

2. The cheese

Looks amaze balls!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks so much, my dear AKwannabe!

I just had a little cheesy snack and wow was it good!

It was some sort of gouda, but don't recall which one.

5. Display cheese only - love it.

Nicely done.

Your eye for composition is what makes these ordinary things so remarkable

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Thanks so much, my dear Permanut!

It's funny; I'm not even aware of how I look for the best composition. I just do it. It's amazing.

I"m still grieving over AndyS's loss and supportive remarks like this one from you really help me feel better.

6. Really nice!

What are those things in the first picture? I like the lighting in #2. I like all the rest too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Bless you, my dear 2naSalit! Really nice of you . . .

I have to say that I have no idea what those are! The one thing I do know is that they're flowers, but no idea what kind. Very exotic!

Glad you enjoyed the series!

9. Truly stunning, Miss Peggy. Love the light in the lettuce.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thanks so much, my dear niyad!

It's really humbling to have your praise nearly every time I post a photo. I appreciate your support greatly.

The light on the lettuce drew my eye and the rest is history!

Keep up the good work.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you so much, my dear judesedit!

I am smiling at your lovely words.

I do plan to keep up my good work! It's good for me, and for all of you!

12. Nice! Which farmer's market was that? nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thanks very much, my dear SunSeeker!

It's the Manhattan Beach farmer's market, which is in my town. Runs weekly on Tuesdays.

It's a fixture in my life!

[Diamond_Dog]

13. All excellent, as usual, Peggy!

I think my favorites are the spiky pink flowers and the second one of the lettuce. But the radishes (?) are lovely, too. Nicely done!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thanks very much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Wish I knew what kind of flowers those are. They just amazed me!

The veggies you thought were radishes are really beets! It could be the closeness of the shot that made them look like radishes. I bought some and they're a bit on the small side, which I prefer.

It was a lot of fun, taking all those photos!

[Walleye]

14. .Really nice! I don't eat enough vegetables but your shots make me hungry

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Aw, thanks so much, my dear Walleye!

Maybe your hunger will help you get to a healthier place? Stranger things have happened!

15. Peggy, you have become a very accomplished photographer.... I love the alternating colors of the berries.

Beautiful stuff..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so much, dear mitch! Nothing like a lot of practice plus good advice to help me get better!

I wanted a different angle on the berries, and in spite of the swarm of people buying stuff right and left, I was able to get it!

This vendor is very popular and they're always busy!

[Callalily]

17. Nice array of photos!

Fresh fruits and veggies are always welcomed!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thank you, dear Callalily!

That market is always interesting and varied!

It was a beautiful sunny but chilly day and a lot of folks were out shopping.
