Two pearls in an oyster

These two are the most precious things imaginable; like the 2 finest pearls selected out of a mountain of them.

And better yet, they are a photographer's dream.

Kids are the best for grown-ups like me to shoot.

They have a natural smile. I don't have to wait for them to fix their hair or put on their lipstick.

I could tell how much these two young girls like each other. Can you tell?

They were laughing, smiling and just having a gay old time. Their good feeling towards one another caught my attention.

I'm happy to have taken their photo for the picture still puts a big smile on my face.

Wherever they are, I hope they're still smiling.

La Boqueria Market

La Boqueria Market has its origins from year 1200, as an open market, and enclosed today as shown in the photo taken at 1:30 pm.

Today, many pesky tourists and local inhabitants buy and eat the luscious vegetables, sweet (and I mean SWEET) fruits, familiar and strange looking fish that lurk at you and *bocadillos with jamon and queso. (Yum Yum).

And, when you've finished eating paellas at the many cafes that surround the perimeter of the market, at the entrance is a Dunkin Donut shop, to satisfy your craving for sugar.

Truly, it's a great place to see history, taste great food and I ask you to be nice, if you're a visitor. Like I said, many locals inhabit the market and on days when you're there shooting pictures, they can't get to the counters to buy their food and the vendors can't make a living.

*bocadillos --- sandwiches of crusty bread, made with various hams of your choice and cheese with an optional tomato
