To Market, To Market

For some reason, we tend to forget about our local Farmers Market, but we've been doing better this year. Somewhat amazingly, I have managed to get down there for three consecutive weeks. I don't usually manage that in a whole summer.



I am a little shy about taking photos in venues like this, but I am doing a little better these days.

One thing that has drawn me back are this ladies delicious scones, which I think she calls tea biscuits. Whatever you call them, they are quite excellent. We bought a half dozen when we had company, and they rather raved about them. I have tried and enjoyed both the lemon-blueberry and the orange-cranberry. Sue has also had the ginger and quite likes them. ↓


There are many colourful things to photograph. Here are a few. Produce comes and goes: the strawberries weren't there on our most recent visit.






Not all of the colour was of produce. These pillow covers were rather striking.


And sometimes I like things not in colour. The whiteness of the onions led me to processing this in bland and white.


And that's that for now.

It makes for a good day out for the photographs alone.

Awesome color, John, and those scones....yum! The fun of a farmers market is the changing of the produce from strawberries to squash and everything in between.

I love Farmer's markets ... not just for the produce and hand-made items; but to meet the people who gather there. They are always a healthy and upbeat group.

We are hoping to get to the local Farmer's Market this weekend, weather permitting, as it has rained the first two weekends and we were not home on a recent weekend. The black and white images interspersed with the color images was a nice combination, John.

This looks like a place I'd want to visit often.

I was visiting blogger friends and noticed you on several so I couldn't resist coming to take a peek. I see you're a retired teacher too and a wonderful photographer. I wish we had farmers' markets like these close by. Our markets are smaller and nothing but veggies and fruits.
