skywatch friday on saturday

i interrupted the regularly scheduled program to bring you the sand mandala, so today we're bouncing back in time to bring you some skywatch friday on saturday.

with a view like this one at the pasadena high school athletic fields, i wonder how players concentrate on playing their sport of choice??

more skywatch friday can be found, as usual, right here.

guitar hero

i really enjoy the local farmers market scene for the busking musicians.  this guitar-playing guy has been on the blog before, and i always get a smile when i walk in his direction.  today's photo featuring him tucked behind the flower stand just seemed to work in a way that i wasn't quite expecting when i took this picture.

i hope you enjoy!

secret photographer

while wandering through the farmers market, i kept my camera by my side and just snapped off photos at will.  i was pleased to find this bright orange shopper in front of the large selection of plants for sale in the background. 

i love when accidental photographs turn out to be really cool.

sweet corn at the farmers market

i've mentioned before that i spent many a summer picking sweet corn during my younger years.  every time i see fresh sweet corn - whether it be at the grocery store, the farmers market, or kitchen table - i always check it out to see if it is up to my standards.  the corn was looking pretty good at saturday's farmers market, and i almost got some (but buckled at the $7/doz price).

a little song from my sweet corn days...
 
corn, sweet corn, no body picks it better,
no matter what the time, no matter what the weather.
the only reason that i've been born,
is to pick another load of that corn, sweet corn.

classical guitar + farmers market = perfect saturday morning

those of you familiar with the saturday farmers market at the high school will recognize this guy. he's there every week. i really should have asked for his name so that i could give him a proper shout out on this blog.

i love that this particular farmers market has live musicians. it makes the atmosphere even more wonderful than it already is. i thought i had already posted a photo of this gentleman, but i can't find it... can anyone else remember if i've posted his picture before?

pasadena high school football

i'm not sure how you pay attention to the game or your coach when you have this view for a backdrop.
