I'm sorry you didn't like the skulls. I find them fascinating.

And I'm glad you did like the rest!

I would never be able to resist buying some of those pastries. I have a sweet tooth that cannot be denied and my mouth is watering just looking at the photos!

I would also have to get some flowers too (and hide them from my cats). Thank you, CaliforniaPeggy, for these latest wonderful pictures!

It's nice to see the colorful blooms/flowers, as we're experiencing frigid temps right not. And of course the pastries are making my tummy rumble - it's getting close to supper time! hahahahahha

That's it! Pastries for supper! If only we could.

The flowers were especially beautiful today, I thought.

I know that if I went to that market, I probably wouldn't get past the bakery booth!

I hear you about getting past the pastries! Luckily, I buy the quiche for our breakfasts every week so I can drool and sigh over all the other stuff.

The few pastries that we've had have always been extraordinary.

Yes, the pastries are sooooooooo good!

Yes, the skulls are very real. The bigger one is, I believe, a round-headed dolphin. The smaller one is probably a seal.

I don't remember what the booth was about; once I saw the skulls, I had to photograph them!

So glad you enjoyed!

Knowing that many of my friends here are snowed in really motivates me! Not trying to make them envious, but to lighten their mood.

I wish you could actually go the market with me. We'd have a great time!
