Fruit, sure, maybe fish too. For a disguise I'd probably go to the big and famous market downtown where there are lots of tourists so that it's not immediately evident just how weird I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-39434018716711923212007-05-15T18:08:00.000-04:002007-05-15T18:08:00.000-04:00Ha!

Grocery store managers really do NOT like people taking pictures in their store for some reason. (Creepily, this guy was following me and my friends around, and if we hadn't seen him and paused before taking a picture, he would have confiscated the roll - which included pictures that had nothing to do with the store.)<BR/><BR/>But farmer's markets, yes. They're public spaces, and a lot of farmers are proud to have someone admire their work. (I wouldn't take pictures of crafts too closely, though - it makes the sellers suspicious about someone poaching their ideas. When in doubt, ask first.)<BR/><BR/>Mmmm... fruit!Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041247235612040796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-30496160873591561442007-05-15T08:45:00.000-04:002007-05-15T08:45:00.000-04:00I see what you mean about not bothering to put the...I see what you mean about not bothering to put the food away!<BR/>The photo is beautiful. :o)AShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306812116989881072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-21698124695262283132007-05-15T06:50:00.000-04:002007-05-15T06:50:00.000-04:00I love the photo.

I rarely see anyone I know and when I do, it is usually just a 'hi' and we continue on our way. That is the only thing that I don't like about living in a larger community, it is really hard to stop for a minute and say 'hi'.BeachMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936777379292996065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-61892580447202405292007-05-14T18:17:00.000-04:002007-05-14T18:17:00.000-04:00Love the photo!And your brother is remarrying?

Neither one of us likes grocery shopping, but we have found that Monday nights are great becasue the store is not busy. Plus, the dog gets his to visit with his friends. That make my husband and I one happy couple!Seeking Solacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605809609182729290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-69760099361957623492007-05-14T15:56:00.000-04:002007-05-14T15:56:00.000-04:00PPB: Yeah, I wasn't kidding.

I mean, they think that anyhow, but now they'd have proof.<BR/><BR/>The main thing that stopped me, though, was the lack of natural light. My cheap camera can really only handle certain kinds of light. And the flash is broken. That's why all my photos are taken outside or near a window, and either in the early morning or the late afternoon.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-30826334337279151192007-05-14T15:51:00.000-04:002007-05-14T15:51:00.000-04:00fruit is cool.
