Chowing Photography #4: Southern Californian's Farmer's Market
There is a local farmer's market every Tuesday and Saturday near my place from morning to the early afternoon. My girlfriend and I had always wanted to go on Saturday morning but never did due to having to wake up early. As college students, that is close to an impossibility to do so willingly. So, out of sheer willpower and about a year later we finally went last weekend. The weather was quite Californian around 74 F °or 23 C° and sunny considering the previous week Southern California had heavy rain for a couple of days. Rain might seem ordinary in other places around the global but as any Southern Californian would know, it basically never rains here and the drought memes are real.

Anyways, here is a piece of our little local and organic adventureand I hope you Steemians enjoy the pictures as much as I did.
Figure 1. Until now I only thought there were only white cauliflower, but it seems like I was wrong. Here are some of the other possible color configurations of cauliflowers. White, green, purple, and orange.

Figure 2. Here we have some Zutano Avocado which the farmer stated should have a chunkier taste compare to the other avocados. Either way, avocados are beautiful no matter what, aka tasty af.

Figure 5. Here we have some real and edible burgers for display from Market Burgers. I had to touch it to make sure it wasn't synthetic and it did catch my and many other's attention.

Figure 8. I'd eat these in the wild though. These mushrooms actually has a rubbery feel instead of a furry feel and have tons of health benefits.

Figure 13. Even though Henry can not move his rear legs, his owner still takes great care of him and walked him during the busy morning at the farmer's market. Henry is still as energetic, playful, and attractive as any other dog.
