Cactus flower
My wife and I went to the "Green Scene Home & Garden Show" at Cal State
Fullerton's Arboretum yesterday and I saw this and a couple of other interesting cacti at a vendor's stall, and had just told her I thought I'd buy this when a cranky old gal who either ran the stall or merely worked there came up and said "Sir, no photographs please!" in a really foul tone of voice. No sale. -- Paddy's Pig ------------ To reply its bell not bull |

Hey Pat, My hubby & I were there too! Was this the case everywhere? I
didn't take my camera. The last time I went was in 98 & there were only one or two carts & not busy at all. Nic pic. Cheers Wendy "Padraig" wrote in message ...

We make and sell reproduction historical items and I remember at one fair that a chap selling rubbish plaster casts and doing fortune telling held up his hand to his eyes when a camera appeared - said it would be stealing his soul! He's now in prison, the rest of us believed that he didn't want evidence of his untaxed trading ... When a camera appears Spouse (who's far more picturesque than I am!) whips off his un-mediaeval spectacles :-) Many people ask if they can take pictures of us and our goods, that's a nice courtesy but we don't mind when they don't.
