Some days my creative juices abandon me and I can’t think of a thing to say. Other days I am so overflowing with things to say I hardly know where to start. Since today is one of those ‘overflowing’ days I decided it would be better to let my photos from the past week tell the story for me, so here goes - enjoy!
One day earlier this week I decided to veg out at a wonderful little bookstore - Sarasota News and Books - downtown on Main Street. Not only do they have a great selection of books, they also have a delightful cafe with cute little tables and cushy sofas where you can enjoy a decadent dessert and a Cappuccino while you get lost in a novel. The delectable little dessert below had a hard chocolate outer shell and was filled with layers of creme custard and chocolate mousse. I know I shouldn’t have, but I just couldn’t resist!
Several days this past week I’ve done walking tours of the Rosemary District, which is just north of downtown (where I live), as well as Gillespie Park, just east of Rosemary, snapping photos all the way:

I’ve always loved taking photos of old doors - I found these in the Rosemary District:
I found this intriguing door knocker on an interior design shop just down the street from my apartment. I shot the first photo with deliberately low contrast, then used Photoshop to posterize the image (see second photo). I love Photoshop!
More tomorrow…..
