Last weekend I went on a little beach trip with my Mom, sister and adorable four year old nephew. On the way home we stopped at The Poor Man's produce stand and a nearby cotton field. As we jumped out of the car for fresh veggies and photo opps my nephew said, "well, where's the rich man?" His reasoning made sense - if this is the poor man's produce, where's the rich man's produce? We all had a good laugh including the owner.The cotton field was a delight to explore, especially for my nephew. You'll be seeing more of him later. I couldn't resist photographing his cuteness!

My grandparents grew cotton in Texas; your photos make me nostalgic.
I love the shot of the jarred peppers.

He's so cute! That is one big sweet potato. ☺
Cotton is a big commodity in South Georgia, and on drives to and from Orlando I'll always look out at the fields and marvel how all those specks of white will be morphed into something entirely different.
Look at the size of that yam!! You take the most descriptive photos ;)

I grew up next to cotton fields and it was always miraculous when they finally burst forth with their fluffy goodness.

Cotton amazes me, it really does.

Great photos.
How neat to see the cotton field. I wish there were more stands like that down here.
I've never had the lucky opportunity to feel and see cotton in its organic state, and the farm fresh veggies, pickled peppers... can you send me some to Tokyo??? hehe
It looks like fall, I wish the weather here would be more fall like.. it has been 23-25c 75-85 sounds cool but the SUN in Japan is SOOO strong, hot, no wonder I use a sun umbrella...
Thank you for sharing your trip with us!

I wish we had somethin like that here.
LOVE the cotton field! Sounds like your trip was great!
great comment by your nephew.
the cotton field reminds me of those i see when i travel home to north louisina.
i love "on the side of the road" produce stands.
so cute! btw, love your blog:)
There is something about the way cotton grows that never fails to amaze. I am a big fan of the road trip that allows for any and all stops.
Of course, I love the cotton photos!
i'd love to walk through a cotton field :)
Oh, that is cute. I love how kids' minds work. -Julia
That is a big momma sweet potato. And I really hope you bought a bag of those peanuts ... the Poor Man needs the dough.
Gorgeous, evocative images.
Aww, he's so cute! I love stopping at produce stands on trips like that -- I'm loving the "boiled peanuts" sign...I want some!
Nope - couldn't buy the cotton! Plus I think there might be some bugs in it - so you have to watch out!
Just being out, in the field, feeling the sun on the back.
Your pictures are very good.
