Photographers Storytelling

I turned left on the highway, little pup and Bodhi with me for the ride. The GPS says 7 more min to my destination. The little town of Rocky Ford is your adorable one traffic light town out east of Colorado. The little book shop is off to the right. Each book shop has their own unique store front. Sometimes you can even judge a store by its store front cover. I knew I was going to love this store by it petite display, bay window and simple sign above. Not quite on the corner but placed just right.

I walk into the aroma of warmth. I instantly felt cozy. The comfort vibe and colorful books had me circling the store more times than I can count. The book covers of Sherlock Homes, Jane Eyre and my favorite Peter Rabbit filled my soul. You can get lost in a place like this. It is a small room, but the books and the feel can make one lose track of time in their own wonderous thoughts & dreams – and I did exactly that.

After a few more laps and a couple purchases – I still wasn’t ready to leave. The imagination and dreams filled my head on my journey home. It is a friendly reminder to always ponder. And as Peter Rabbit would say  - “There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.”
