Artist's Comments

Early one Saturday morning I crept through the morning mist to one of my favourite antique bookstores in the mountains. The clouds still hung low over the mountain village as the sun started creeping up the eastern slope. I had just left the Julian Pie Company across the street, a belly full of Dutch Apple, and my ancient fingers curled in the porcelain hook of a cinnamon coloured cup full of my breakfast Java. I was looking for the book "For Whom The Bell Tolls." The doors had just been opened by hands I had not seen, and stood there beckoning as if to say, "Yes, come in and fill your head with imagination!"

Oh, my. That is an incredibly beautiful scene. :clap: Wish my yard looked like that.
Did you find your book? Or did you end up consuming your time with camera in hand to capture these magnificant images? :D
The photo is very well done. I love the colors, the vibrancy.. but they're not too much that they take away from the subject. Great job.

LOL. I did both. I found my book, and I manically menaced the community with my camera.

Wow! The flowers are amazing... if Snow-wite and Rose-red ran a bookstore, that's what it would look like!
