Market Inspiration

This is another blast from the past. I took these photos while wandering through Amsterdam with my friend Will back in December. She was always such a good sport, waiting while I took seemingly endless amounts of photos.

I loved this fruit and vegetable display set up in front of a little grocery store. I get such inspiration from the colors and shapes, though I have to admit if I were making a quilt out of this, I'd leave out the avocado. Or at least make them unripe so they aren't such a dark blot in the upper right corner.

Pitaya, one of the most gorgeous fruits ever. I've never actually eaten one though.

Kiwano. I only know what these are because of the stickers.


This is so my color palette right now. The only thing missing is lemons.

Well, Castle was disappointing last night. I hope they don't keep pushing the romantic angle between Castle and the cop, because there was just no chemistry there. I did like the poker game though - that was fun.

I keep watching Medium even though it's so predictable. C'mon, I don't have psychic powers OR real detective skills, but I figured this out - again - way before any of the tv characters. sigh. I also hate how inconsistent it is with Alison's powers. What, now she tells Ariel they can't read anything about those close to them? Since when? She used to know everything and couldn't be surprised by parties. And first she can't go into a hospital without an iPod to try and block all the ghosts harassing her and in later episodes she can spend hours at the hospital and she doesn't see a single one? I know, turn off brain to watch....
