Farmers Market Blues

Farmers markets are advertised as the best way to get the freshest produce while helping the local farmers, the environment and save money too. Well I beg to differ. I have had many bad experiences from poor quality to food poisoning. Today I bought "fresh corn" and a box of tomatoes. On the way home I stopped at a small chain supermarket that carries local produce as well. I bought their corn and tomatoes by the pound. True to form the supermarket corn tasted better and the tomatoes were of a much better quality plus the price was the same. Just a note of caution people bring their dogs to the market and the produce on the ground get sniffed and slobbered on.

Celebration of spring.

Insident on the beach

A little boy stairs at what appears to be trash washed up on the beach. On closer inspection along side the red cup is a nearly drowned bird. It's is badly injured with the skin on it's back torn away to reveal bloody muscle. It probably was forced into the water and attacked by sea gulls. Fearing the people on the beach they stand in the back ground and await their opportunity. The boy is called away and the gulls move in. In fifteen seconds their victim is eviscerated. In a couple of minutes nothing is left but feathers and a few bones soon to washed out to sea on the next big wave.    

Beautiful day in the park

Beauty in motion

Spring run off in the Wasatch

A young couple and their two year old daughter walk casually next to the roaring torrant. The father watching closely as the child wanders near them. First over there to stand on a rock then stooping to pick up a stick. Now a quick dart to the edge of the bank to throw it into the swollen stream. I hold my breath. The father catches the little arm on the back swing and pulls her back. She lives another day.
