Back By Popular Demand: The Santa Barbara Farmer's Market

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We were inspired by a comment on one of our recent blog posts by fellow Active Rain member, Will Hamm, to return to our coverage of the Santa Barbara Farmer's Market. And, we are delighted to report that the market is back in full swing.

Here in downtown "SB" we often have what is known as "May Gray" and "June Gloom" with overcast skies due to a low coastal cloud cover which burns off mid-day.  Although we enjoy this time of year thoroughly, there has been wonderful blue skies and warm weather each morning, all month so far. The colors were especially brilliant at the market.

On this morning's trip we were blown away by the magnificent mushroom displays. So, we wanted to share them with you. Such  variety!  

Quite often we get inspired by nature for color schemes for our personal and company branding projects. Check out these amazing mushrooms in rose, mauve, and burnt Sienna.

Hello Alexandra and Ron - the subtleties of life's hues, shapes and textures do so much to complement many elements of everyday living.

Good morning Alexandra. I am a sucker for dishes that use mushrooms and a few where I just add them. Quite the display. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Alexandra... that mushroom display is a work of art! Your post reminded me that I still need to update my annual farmer's market post, which I keep thinking about but which keeps getting knocked lower on my list versus other topics. Happy Tuesday to you both.

Wow, those mushrooms are gorgeous, not only because of the wonderful colors but because of the evident freshness. I'd hate to eat them! (But would).

Enjoy your week!

I have always enjoyed seeing what is going on at your farmer's market.  It seems that you are not as active in the Rain these days, hopefully, it is just because you are super busy with a lot of projects.

Hi Brian England We have been extremely busy. Cheers! R&A

Hi Ron and Alexandra,

I lived in SoCal most of my life and never liked the May and June cloud cover in the morning.  I enjoy seeing the sunrise. As for the Farmer's Market,  I always looked forward to Alexandra's posts on Saturdays.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel  I totally understand it has been a very long time since I went to a farmers market all due to being busy, now with that said I loved the photo and being a mushroom fanatic since I was a child I really appreciate this post, Endre
