nyc flowers & veggies

i had no idea where to start so i'll take the easy way out and post more pics and less words. also, though our trip started in toronto, i'll start with nyc.

as we spent only 3 nights in the city we had quite a tight schedule. i managed to sneak out the first morning to union square with elizabeth. i so envy her for being able to shop fresh produce at the green market










elizabeth got one of the small lilac ones for her tree stump. wonder if it still there, or if someone stole it!?











this truck was laden with flowers of all sorts, not at the market but on w. 25th on my way back to hotel







the smell was amazing







tomatoes then, there were all sizes...







..shapes...







...some even looked like they might be past their prime. i guess heirlooms are supposed to look like this







so many interesting jams and jellies







hmm, these were something neither of us had seen before, and i've forgotten what they are. they are supposed to be nice and eaten raw as they come, now i wish i had bought some to try







we both liked how the light played on these aubergines







such a pretty shade of red







i must have taken a dozen or more pictures of gourds/pumpkins/squashes







so many colors, shapes and textures







regretfully i didn't get to meet buster on this trip, maybe next time!
