This is called "After The Strike" because our Southern California Supermarket strike has been over for a few days now, and finally the stores are brimming with products and produce. This picture became "the apples of my eye" after I spied them shopping at Alberstons. It is a big relief to be able to find food in the stores.

This shot replaces my earlier (weak) "Taxed" for the date of Mar. 15. I have decided that I am going to stop manipulating pictures in Photoshop so much (like adding text etc.) and focus more on just plain old good photography.
