Looking forward to being settled once our stuff arrives, then we can plan a trip to France. Perhaps Avignon as we have yet to enjoy the charms you so wonderfully portray.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-80040105253092675582009-08-21T16:16:03.422+02:002009-08-21T16:16:03.422+02:00The fruit looks fabulous!The fruit looks fabulous!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-47588607594954906372009-08-21T16:05:46.118+02:002009-08-21T16:05:46.118+02:00Ahhh Hah!

The Amer/French markets are very similar. Is your sister still visiting you? I know you have had a grand time.<br />VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-91621038374383816622009-08-21T10:31:32.153+02:002009-08-21T10:31:32.153+02:00Oh Bob, how wrong you are.

The French believe that food and love are two such things :-)<br /><br />For those of you who'd be happy to know, the lady buying fruit on the bottom photo is my younger sister - the one with the basket on her left arm and a wonderful smile. I asked her to pose for a market shot - didn't she do a brilliant job?Nathaliehttp://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-28645282674162231432009-08-21T04:19:06.998+02:002009-08-21T04:19:06.998+02:00I can almost smell the fruit.

Lots of Americans, and certainly our family, have so many time demands that we just run through the supermarket at the freeway exit and take what we can get.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-17576288348013445122009-08-21T03:53:44.016+02:002009-08-21T03:53:44.016+02:00I love a good, home-grown farmers market.

The atmosphere is one of the reason I love a farmer's market, and I hate to see such a lovely tradition/custom going by the wayside. Your photos are lovely, and help me evoke all the good feelings.
