Early Beaverton Farmers Market
May 2nd, 2026

























































































These oatmeal raisin cookies are my all time favorite!
























































Look at the lettuce!
Can't get any fresher than this....
















































































































































Time to go home!
Cookies, Croffin (croissant and muffin), fresh snap peas and flavorful strawberry are out haul that morning.

That afternoon, I opened my very first Instagram (Yes, I am a late comer),
Thanks to the encouragement from many family members and dear friends. Finally.

Wild flowers in the corner empty lot!



























I learned when I took a photography seminar in Yosemite with Ansel Adams in 1980s
that a slight position can sometimes enhance the photograph
from being good enough to extraordinary.
Below is an example of that in my opinion.
