1. Mmmm. Beautiful photo, looks delicious!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you, my dear Walleye! They made my mouth water too.

3. These are gorgeous photos!

The tomatoes and flowers are an unusual and interesting blend.

The pastries look tempting. Please tell me you bought one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

The vendors here are extremely creative! I love photographing their art.

Alas, I did not buy a pastry . . . Just looking at them makes my fat cells whimper! When you look, you don't ingest any calories!



And now I need my nap!

5. Beautiful

6. Oh my God...

Are those Uchuva in the second picture? Obviously not the blueberries or raspberries, the golden ones... I have NEVER seen those in the US before. I spent a few months in Colombia on a pipeline project, and fell in love with those! They are seriously one of the best fruits I've ever tried. Sweet, a bit sour, and so very flavorful. Although, Colombia has a lot of exotic (and delicious!) fruits that I was previously unfamiliar with.

9. Thank you so much, my dear MLF1981!

I appreciate your enthusiastic remarks.

The golden berries are, I think, gooseberries. I've never had one but their color intrigues me.

11. Here is their wikipedia page:

12. Thank you! The vendor told me their berry is a gooseberry. nt

[MLF1981]

17. Oh, they are SO good!

Next time you're there, pick up a pint. They are absolutely delicious. I promise you won't be disappointed!

8. Dearest Peggy, you are the "berries"... I never thought about using repetition in my pic's...Looks FAB!! NT

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Why thank you, my dear mitch96!

I guess it's unavoidable that there's repetition in my photos. I'm glad you like the look!

[mitch96]

13. I like the berry boxes. 4 squares, contrasting colors and textures...way cool...Cabbage? not so much.

Looks like a MAGA rally...
...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Sorry you didn't care for the cabbage! I agree though that the 4 berry boxes are gorgeous!

Plus they are delicious!

23. My sick humor, trying to make a joke...Yes it's berry season down here in Fla. I love berries and they are GOOD for you

Good for the brain (i need that) Heart and immune system. They go in my oatmeal every morning along with ground flax and chia seeds. Health is like the "1" in one million dollars. Without the "1"
your health is just a bunch of zero's!!!

15. Beautiful collection this time Peggy.

My favorite is the flowers with the tomatoes. I like the way the colors pop against the dark background.

But oh those pastries …..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I always look for the most spectacular items and this vendor never disappoints!

Sometime I'll buy a pastry and let you all know just how great it was!!

[niyad]

16. Just hand over the pastry tray, and nobody gets hurt!!!

Seriously, as always, incredibly gorgeous, Ms. Peggy! That herbal bouquet!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Ah my dear niyad, you made me laugh! Thank you so much.

The bouquets are so gorgeous that I can hardly believe it. But there they are.
