Fall is upon us and it's time for the outdoor markets to start up again! Oh, what fun!

Ah! Don't you just love fall in St. Petersburg? There's a bit of a crispness to the air. It's not cold but the humidity's gone for the most part and it's just a delight to be outdoors, and now the outdoor markets are starting up again, though, as The Gabber points out, Gulfport's Tuesday Fresh Market remains open year round. The young lady in the photo is Danielle Thompson, whose husband is a sponge diver in Tarpon Springs. She was offering her sponges at the Corey Avenue Market in St. Pete Beach on Saturday, October 2. The Gabber has a terrific roundup of the area's outdoor markets for you to enjoy.
