Got to the Santa Monica farmer's market right as it opened this morning. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving the place always has a different vibe, a buzzy kind of revel.

Didn't find my favorite apple vendor (short, hot season) but everyone else had beautiful stuff.

Still quiet before 8 am.

Growers still setting up:

Everything so pretty:

And abundant.

It's almost citrus season:

I love that buddha's hand is part of LA's Thanksgiving landscape:

If it weren't for this stack of fennel and green onions and leeks, all of today's photos would be yellow and orange.

See?

And at Harry's Berries:

Savvy strawberry lovers got in line.

It's almost Thanksgiving!
