In Old Williamsburg, there is a yarn shop where they spin and dye wool using natural colors typical of the colonial period. I loved the textures of the wool and wood, and the light coming through the open door and windows.

Old Williamsburg

It was a good day for reflections and I captured something like a portrait of Garry and I in the glass door to the library. The sign is for a pub that has no name that I could find, so I call it Stag’s Head In a Pear Tree. I might be right, you never know.
