July Cornucopia/Union Square

By Elizabethwix

No sooner do I start thinking I'm interested in black and white photography than the world is ablaze with color.

Frances and I were at the green market yesterday. Such a stunning time with everything coming into season... like tempting little egg plants

bee-seducing sunflowers (bee hiding in top flower)

blushing snapdragons

country bouquets and

plums with bloom on.

New potatoes at last.

Star-gazer lilies

zinnias so bright you need sunglasses.

Sneak-able peaches (see young man in the foreground!) beefsteak tomatos

green beans galore

and corn stacked like cordwood.
On a completely different note, there was the first mention of "back-to-school" on TV this morning. Horrors... it's only July for goodness sake... but I've started prepping - or at least thinking about - A DAY OF WORDS the one day writing workshop I'm teaching on Saturday September 28th at Little Bird Studios in New York. It should be lots of fun and is open to anyone. Do join our little group!
