I used to pick strawberries when I was little from our patch out back and my basket never looked that organized, plus I never got ahead more than half a pint because I would eat them the whole way.

I suspect most of us would have yielded to such a wonderful temptation as strawberries! I'm with you!

Glad you enjoyed.

I just love the first one. It looks like an oil painting!

Nice to see an overview of the vendors in the last one, as well.

that look like they're from another planet! Also known as Spider Flowers (your 2nd to top picture).

Or maybe I'm confused!

But I do know the Agapanthus flowers. They are otherwise known at "Lily of the Nile."

Not sure how you got there!

I had to google those flowers to see which ones I got today. I guess they come in a variety of colors.

I hope you enjoyed them!

The way these strawberries look is standard for this market. Everybody's strawberries are to die for!

I really appreciate your kind remarks. They gave me a much-needed boost today, when the news is so disheartening.

Those chili peppers caught my eye; I love the textures! And yes, a study in greens!
