Wow, I can also smell them! But…at the same time, I am torn between wanting to paint them and paint *with* them! What luscious colors!! OOOoooo…when taste and sight collide!

I agree with Beth, the first thing that came to mind was how great that market must smell! Makes me want to run to our own local market.

If you want those luscious earth colors to paint with, you need to go to nearby Rousillon, where there’s a pigment store next to the start of the Ochre Trail.

I love this photo! It makes me want to run to my kitchen and start cooking – with herbs and spices, of course.
