#ThursdayDoors #LaGrange #Kentucky #FromTheGroundUp #writingprompt
Per Bastet did a book signing at From The Ground Up bookstore and cafe. I’m always happy to go to LaGrange, the only town I’ve ever visited that has a train that runs along main street a couple of times a day.
The bookstore was right by the tracks, so OF COURSE I got some shots for Dan of trains and of train tchotchkes sold at the store.
Thursday doors is under the direction of Dan Antion, photographer extraordinaire and critter daddy. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.
I’ll be going back to LaGrange later this month, so you can expect more pictures, hopefully some of trains.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Right by the tracks.
