Every Wednesday as I am driving to work I take the back roads. I pass through the town of Arlington, MA. I lived in Arlington about 20 years ago. Anyway... early in the morning, around 6 AM they are roping off a section of one of the towns parking lots. In the afternoon on my way home I pass the Farmers Market. I keep telling myself to stop. I don't have to buy anything, just look. So.. today I remembered my camera and I stopped. I would have bought some fresh vegetables, a loaf of bread, some goat chees and some fresh flounder.. but I am going away for Labor Day weekend and didn't want to have to eat it all before then.
This is a view fom the parking lot. Had to make sure the camera batteries were still charged.
All of the images below were taken at waist level. This is why everyone's butt seems to be at eye level. I was nervous about people thinking I was taking their picture. It was quite crowded. There are several produce vendors, two bakery vendors and one seafood vendor. I was in heaven. Prices seemed a bit high, but for local produce I think it is worth it. The most abundant crop seemed to be tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers and peppers.
Being as I had my camera when I got home I snapped a few more shots of the Mandavilla. There are over 50 blossoms on it now with about as many buds that will open over the next week. It was slow to grow and slow to set buds this summer, but boy oh boy.. what a beautiful display now.
