August 10 on 10: Stretching

This month I thought I'd attempt to stretch a little further than my happy & safe comfort zone. My solo walks are so needed and I love having my camera with me, moving at my own pace, stopping whenever I see something interesting.

I talked my husband into getting up early on Sunday morning and driving to the Hollywood farmer's market. I used to work in this neighborhood but that was many years ago and it had been a long time since I've been anywhere near the city. It was lively and crowded and had a wonderful cross section of people. I wasn't brave enough (this time) to ask anyone if I could take a photo of them but this woman just happened to appear in this shot! Her hair was done in a leopard print - perfectly.

 

There was such a beautiful selection of produce, flowers and baked goods. Lovely colors, sights and sounds. We drove around the neighborhood looking for parking and saw some interesting buildings and signs. I'm sure it would be a great place to photograph at night.

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed our morning and look forward to visiting again soon! I also signed up for a daily photo prompt from Susannah Conway - her August Break is a way to really pay attention to this last month of summer.  Here are three of the shots I've posted so far on my Instagram account:
