Alaska State Fair

This week the Alaska State Fair is in full swing! Above, the picture of the ferris wheel is in full color. I have a wider shot with other things in the picture along with the wheel, and it's still a grey silhouette. It was a dreary day, but the following pictures helped brighten everything up: 
The deep, muted colors of these cabbages (correct me, please, if I'm wrong here on the whole cabbage thing - these are almost too beautiful to be cabbages!) really drew me in. The teal and the violet. oo la la!

The rain droplets were resting so gently on these pedals, I'm glad the camera picked them up:  
And the star of my little show, the ripe, little raspberry: 
too bad the sign said, "no nibbling, please"

I scanned your pics at first. I figured those "cabbages" were some beautiful flower that I had never seen before. Hands down, you have the most beautiful landscapes I have seen on a blog. Well done.

The state fair...brings back some great memories for me up in Fairbanks. I have a pic of me standing next to a cabbage that was bigger than me. N
