    Westlake green market is on Saturday. Good spot for fresh fruit and cold drinks. After Hurricane Isaias, rebuilding vendors’ stalls took time but appears complete now.

  • Weekend Plans

    The green market is back in Wellington on Saturday mornings. Fresh produce and local goods. Worth going early—parking after 10 is tight.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    Parking at the showgrounds is limited this week as setups for WEF continue. Trailers and fencing stacked near Pierson make the west gate tight. Worth scouting if you're headed out with gear.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    Palm Beach International Equestrian Center looked ready to reopen soon. Rings dragged, tents going up. Walked the grounds watching them set up jumps—works of art in themselves.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    For those planning to check out Copper Blues at the mall, it’s worth noting how close this is to the showgrounds. Could be a good spot to decompress after a long day shooting or watching.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    Watched riders schooling at the outdoor rings by the showgrounds today. Footing looks good after the rain last week, and there’s a nice spot by the rail for photos if you time it right.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    The jump fields at the showgrounds are mostly quiet today, but a few riders were schooling in Ring 8 as of this morning. Worth a walk if you're testing new lenses or timing shots for the season.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    Stopped by the polo club to scout backgrounds. Fields look sharp, but no action yet—just maintenance crews and a few grazing horses. Good light in late afternoon, worth noting for January.

  • WEF & Polo Season

    The new footing at the showgrounds looks promising. Spotted a few riders schooling over jumps this morning, and it seems to be holding up well after last night's rain. Photogs, the light's sharp early, but it fades quick with all the tree cover.

    Went to the Greenacres Chili Cook-Off yesterday. Good turnout, and the judges had their work cut out. Worth going to sample, even late, but bring water—it’s still hot out there.
