There may still be snow on the ground but spring will arrive next month. So although it is winter, warmer weather is on the way. Here are some pictures that I took of flowers, fruits and vegetables from Pike Place Market in Seattle when I visited there recently. It was wonderful to see these bright colors!
All kinds of fresh produce on display:

I’m really looking forward to spring!
Love all these courful photos.. You can almost smell the fruit and flowers!
Thanks – it was a lively place and the flowers smelled wonderful!
I am glad you shared the bright colors with us. Waiting for spring.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I’m happy to share pictures that are reminders of spring – I’m waiting too!
Beautiful photos. I feel so fortunate to have a local and large family-run farm market here that has all the beauty of spring/summer all year round inside, plus the warmth of very friendly employees. I love going there every week, it’s like a boost to the spirit! :)
Thanks! That sounds so refreshing to have a place where you can go to see flowers and other plants that are reminders of warm weather… :)
Super colours; I feel brighter already! :-)
Those colors were so energizing – they really brightened up a rainy day!
Beautiful, vibrant colors, Meg– it really makes me anxious for spring here!
Spring sounds great to me too!
With all these brilliant colors, I can hardly wait for Spring. Just think of how vibrant the landscape will be :)
I’m looking forward to spring too! It will be so nice to see beautiful flowers again… :)
You are making me SO excited for my trip in spring there…thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! I’m sure you’ll have a lovely trip to Seattle – have a great time!
What a feast for the eyes. I especially like the tulips. Thanks.
I really liked those tulips too! You’re welcome – I’m glad you liked the pictures… :)
I love fresh produce out in markets!
I do too – it’s a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
Oh me. Oh my! I loved the virtual tour!
Thanks Laurie! There’s a lot to see at the market and I’m glad you enjoyed the tour… :)
Love exploring places like this – the excitement – not sure what to check out first:) Great Captures – thanks for sharing! Happy Tuesday
It was so much fun exploring and finding my way around – thanks Renee!
Beautiful colours. Makes me think of spring and summer. But those fruit and vegetable prices are not exactly bargains! They’re up there.
The flowers and fruit were very pretty but you’re right – they were expensive! Lots of the booths were giving away free samples though… :)
Thanks for the spring “teaser.” I can almost feel the warm April sun on my face…I needed that!
I’m so happy to know these pictures remind you of spring! It won’t be long now… :)
lovely shots, full of colour & vibrance – hurry up Spring!!!!! ^_^
Thanks, and I’m really hoping spring gets here very soon!
I LOVE this colorful post!
Thanks Patti – the market was very lively and full of vibrant colors!
Such lovely colours – this post really brightened up a chilly day :)
I’m really glad to know it helped on a chilly day! Hopefully there won’t be too many more of those and it will start to warm up… :)
Gorgeous…wish I was there! Makes me really long for Spring and Summer. : )
Seattle and Pike Place Market are fantastic! I can’t wait until spring to be able to see more flowers… :)
A great place to visit. Love your colorful pictures.
Thanks Renee! It was so much fun visiting there… :)
Oh, wonderful!
I’m glad you liked it – thanks!
I love Pike Place Market. The colours are fabulous!
It’s a marvelous place to visit and I really enjoyed the colors too!
Those colours have fairly cheered up my morning, thank you Meg. I think the tulips, in particular, are gorgeous, the colours make me think of sweeties.
I’m so happy to know that! I thought the tulips were a wonderful reminder of spring… :)
What beautiful, vibrant colours!
I thought that they were truly spectacular!
Those fresh markets just keep the camera shutter steaming, don’t they? Great shots!
Thanks Patricia! I just couldn’t stop taking pictures while I was there… :)
I know that spring will eventually come but with so much snow on the ground now, your lovely and colorful photos are most welcomed.
Thank you Karen – I hope these colorful pictures make spring seem a little nearer… :)

Thanks Debra! It was a welcome sight seeing all the colors at the market. You should go there for a visit sometime – it’s a great place!
I just love the color!
It was wonderful to see those bright colors in January!
One of my favorite places to visit, thanks for the pictures! I love the flower market and the crafts, produce and seafood can’t be beat. :)
You’re welcome! There’s so much to see and do at the market, and you’re right about the seafood :)
Needless to say, you’re making me lonesome for Pike Place!!!
I know what you mean – I want to go back there too!
This is such a cool place!
That’s what I thought – it’s a great place to visit!
It’s fun to see another take on a familiar scene – and thanks for stopping by my blog.
I really liked that market a lot! And you’re welcome, I enjoyed visiting your blog :)
Gorgeous! I love buying flowers down at the market.
It must be wonderful to go there at different times of the year and find beautiful flowers to take home!
I take my kids for breakfast at the Soundview Cafe, and then we have a little wander before ending up at the flower vendors.
That sounds like a perfect way to spend a morning!
Gorgeous colours – I can almost smell them!
They had a wonderful fragrance – just like spring!
