A Gallery of Photos: Markets

Bins containing veggies at our local farmers' market.


With all those ears of corn, splendid red tomatoes, boxes of blueberries, colorful arrangements of carrots, beets, and rainbow chard, to say nothing of displays of hand-made soaps, wooden bowls, and ceramic pots, market time right now is humming!  Ours is every Saturday morning from the first of May until the end of October.  Others, depending on weather, carry on all year ... some like Santa Fe, under cover.  Smelling bundles of fresh herbs, chatting with vendors, engaging with other customers, checking out the cheeses, the breads ... it's all great fun.

Here are some market photos taken over the years and across the miles.
