Happy Earth Day! Today's post showcases a small collection of her wondrous bounty...

If you've visited here before, you know I have a tender spot for the color-saturated light-filled Provençal village of Valbonne... these are some fruit displays from a typical Friday's Market Day.

  2. We can just feel how much you enjoy the village and its bounty through your pictures, they are vibrant really!

    On a more practical note (sorry): the prices/kg are shocking I find, especially for greens and fruits and it is such a pity that they keep going up. One should not pay a fortune to eat healthy produce, right? On this note, I suggest the following (hopeful) read: http://www.esterkitchen.com/Restaurants/les-sandwichs-de-thierry-breton-ils-ont-vraiment-tout-bon-bienvenue-a-la-pointe-du-grouin.html
    Enjoy Earth Day!

    1. Daydreamer, you're absolutely right... it's unfortunate for sure that healthy foods and organic/local products are priced at a premium (which doesn't help the health and general welfare of society). La Pointe du Grouin has it right (the sandwich had me drooling!)... if only that model of delicious quality food at a reasonable price could be applied everywhere! Thank you for sharing it :)
