SUNDAY POST: Morning
Saturday morning … time to get up, and go to the market.
September is bursting with colours. Everybody is here, buying goodies for the week to come. People are rushing in all directions, most of them having breakfast, just purchased at the local bakery, while stuffing their bags with fruits and veggies… and I am clicking and clicking …..
I can’t resist those colours and smells of early autumn… Now, how will I explain why I haven’t brought any groceries home ;).

Agree autumn have a tons of color – one more beautiful than another – really enjoying visit markets myself – most just look at it, but can’t help buying some of the vegetables and fruits – they taste so great… π
Great shots… π

yep, people complain they are bitter, but they are wonderful, some salt them before to let the bitterness out, but I dont mind it… my only problem is I am rarely in the kitchen π

I think it’s a shame salt them too, it’s “do not” in my eyes – it ruins the taste… π
Sounds like you are an okay girl, I just love cooking and my favorite woman in kitchen is one who sit on the kitchen table with a glass of red wine while she is chat with “chief cuisine” – if she wouldn’t that she can repair the car, paint the windows or phone one of her girlfriends – then I’ll call as soon as the food is ready… ‘hahaha’
