100 + Strangers Challenge - Yes Ma'am, It's All Homegrown

Stranger # 104

Yesterday was Theme Day and Open Air Market photos abounded. I had trouble choosing and so I decided I'd run a few more for you this week. Today, one of the many friendly Alabama farmers that bring their fresh produce to share every Saturday morning at the Pepper Place and other local markets around town.

Good morning Virginia.. or rather good evening to you.
A scene i could have seen anywhere here in Greece this period.
A farmer selling his own produce.
Now i remember I have to visit the farmers market today..
Might take a few shots there myself too.

Ce monsieur ressemble vraiment à un fermier! Avez-vous acheté des légumes et des fruits à ce fermier?

My Daddy looked good in bib overalls but I don't think he ever grew any watermelon. Great shot!
