Waterfront


This morning The Investigator and I went back to the Waterfront for another visit to the market.  The weather is still unseasonably warm but already in just the couple of  weeks since we have been here,  there is a hint of fall color to be seen.





The first signs of pumpkins and squash were appearing as well.


Passing the market we continued on through the marina with a plan of enjoying some fish tacos at one of the dockside restaurants.   Along the way there were so many different boats to look at.


Once we arrived at our destination we discovered that brunch was being served so no fish tacos today.  Instead we had this lovely plate of fresh fruit and fresh baked blueberry coffee cake with cinnamon butter.  Delicious!


 Followed by good old-fashioned scrambled eggs with bacon.  

I didn't notice that one little potato off to the side at the time.  Isn't interesting how we see only what we expect to see?



 My Investigator chose a plate of fish and chips which was a little more in keeping with where we were.

As we enjoyed our al fresco brunch we could look out over the harbor entrance.



And watch the boats coming and going.


As we returned back to the market we stopped at the flower stall to enjoy the bright golden hues of the sunflowers.  The Inspector thinks we should plant some next year. 


And so as this lovely outing comes to an end I have brought my own little piece of Indian Summer home with me. 

"Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these."  Matthew 6:28-29

Public Market

 Sunday afternoon after church we met our daughter and her husband at a local waterfront market.  It was a beautiful day and everyone was out enjoying the end of the summer sunshine.


There was so much to see in the market, from the local artisans showing showing off their wares--


Hand made wooden bowls


Glassware


Lovely floral arrangements all ready to take home and put in a vase.



 to produce from the local farmers.

I've never seen purple carrots before.


There were delicious baked breads and sweet pastries to choose from.  




I couldn't resist taking one of these home with me, strawberry, raspberry and almonds, all my favorite flavors how could I not?    I cut it in half and ate it for breakfast two mornings in a row.  Delicious!


When we finished walking around the market we stopped to enjoy the waterfront.  You will notice that we couldn't resist the caramel corn either.


As we strolled along the docks, this pair popped up next to a nearby fishing boat looking for a handout.


Which reminded us that it was time to head out for lunch.
