2. Looks like a beautiful day at the market.

Yummy treats and fruit and the colorful flowers are a welcomed addition because we are in a severe drought and the freeze has done a final blow to some of our fragile plants. Can’t wait to recover 🌺

I wish you a rapid recovery from the drought and the freeze!

17. Very, very nice. Could almost smell those lemons.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thanks so much, my dear Walleye!

When I first encountered those lemons, months ago, I thought they had to be oranges! They were too big to be lemons, but I was wrong.

They are very juicy and smell marvelous, especially when they give up their juice!

18. I so glad you're behind your lens Peggy! Besides great pix of flavorful and flowerful items, I love your first photo!

According to google, your image shows —

The "Midnight Blues" mural by local photographer Bo Bridges, located on the side of Manhattan Beach City Hall. The mural is a massive photograph of the Manhattan Beach Pier at dawn, spanning nearly 100 feet in length. It was unveiled in April 2023 and connects the iconic pier to the City Hall building.
The artist dedicated the mural to the families and children of the community.

Thank You for your "postography".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Omigod, thank you my dear George for your sleuthing skills! I had no idea of the history of the mural.

I just knew that today it was especially bright and I wanted to capture its beauty. And I was in the perfect spot to show it off.

[Easterncedar]

24. Thanks, George!

What a fabulous mural.

[Easterncedar]

20. You gave us flowers! Thanks, Peggy!

What is that top shot? Reflection, mural, mirage? Magic, for sure. There’s so much gorgeous sunshine and blue sky in your pictures today.

The bakery offerings are only made resistible by the continent’s width between us. I wish I could put on my 7-league boots and hop across. The intricate geometric precision of the Romanesco broccoli inspires awe, but I like to imagine it on my plate, too.

That was a perfect bedtime story, Peggy. Thanks again. Good night!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thanks for your wonderful comments, my dear Easterncedar!
