Fruits and veggies, anyone?

As promised, here are some shots I took of fruits and veggies at the recent State Fair. You can click to enlarge them but you'll probably have to scroll around to see the whole photo, as these were also taken with the camera setting the way hubby set it for the animal photos yesterday....that is LARGE!!!

Luscious peaches........
Thinking ahead to fall with the pumpkinsl......

And here are a few of the nice arrangements made with fresh produce......I always enjoy seeing these (even more than the floral arrangements)...and the veggies and fruit used in them are always SO perfect that they almost don't look real.....but they are! Do you have a favorite arrangment here?

Mmmm... I love fruit and veggies. And they're so pretty. We had the best peaches in San Francisco. When I got home I bought some at the grocery store and they're just tasteless!

It's far too early for pumpkins and squash in my part of the world. Soon...

If I had to pick an arrangement, it would be the one with the Radio Flyer in the back. Just cause I love seeing it used that way.

When I was a boy I had a blue wagon that we hauled EVERYTHING in. It was used in the veggie garden too.

Just looking at all these yummy fruits and veggies make me hungry! Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. I think my favorite would have to be the picnic basket full of corn and other goodies. I see a big pot of homemade soup there, mmmmmmmmm good.
