Our weather really hasn't been too bad, not much sun, but not particularly cold -- not as inviting as our very brief summer, but not bad. So, I decided to focus today on the real beauty of autumn here in the northwest -- the wonderful colors and, of course, the delicious veggies at my favorite market! Hope all of you had a lovely, fun weekend, that you're looking forward to the new week, counting your blessings and that you never leave the house without your camera!!

    Your market looks absolutely wonderful. Those vegetables almost look too pretty to eat, but I would certainly do my best to find ways to enjoy them. I really like that red tree in the picture above as well.

    What a great series of photographs. The vegetables are especially beautiful. I love going to Whole Foods with Heather. Their veggies and flowers are wonderful.

    I also really liked the red tree whatever it is. It is beautiful.
