My daughter was thrilled to discover this used bookstore that also has wonderful stationery and small gifts. When she was little we went to a bookstore or the library weekly. We love books! Sadly used bookstores have almost completely disappeared in Ontario. This little store is a gem! HWW!

"Quiet waters and emerald shadows."
As the sun dipped below the horizon in Port Royal, South Carolina, a unique nautical green light began to wash over the docks. My wife and I watched as the local shrimp fleet settled in for the night, their towering outriggers silhouetted against a sky that felt both ancient and serene.

I captured this during the blue hour/sunset transition to emphasize the painterly quality of the Lowcountry. Processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on my Mac to bring out those deep emerald hues in the water and the golden rim-lighting on the trawlers.
A Chance Encounter on San Marco
Nestled beneath the soaring arches of Piazza San Marco, a tiny glass shop spills warm light onto cobblestones. Through the open door, a riot of Murano vases, bowls, and delicate figurines twirls in every hue—ruby reds, cobalt blues, emerald greens—each piece a whisper of Venetian mastery. A passerby pauses as the shopkeeper, with a gentle nod and aged hands, lifts a filigree goblet to the glow. In that shared moment—strangers bound by wonder—the centuries-old craft feels alive, vibrant, and utterly unforgettable.
A serene sunrise bathes Shem Creek in beautiful Mount Pleasant South Carolina in warm hues as boats gently rest on the water's surface. The sky transitions from shades of red, orange and pink to deep blue, reflecting on the water and highlighting the peaceful start of the day.
