Looking Through Glass

Recently I had some time to kill and decided to take an evening stroll down Sherman Avenue. It was freezing out, but I was hopeful that I would find something interesting to shoot so I stuck it out. There are so many fun stores along Sherman, such a variety! The first store I came to was an old antique store (one of many on Sherman). Alas, it was closed, but just looking through the window was enough for me. Beautiful ornate objects were placed ever so nicely into gleaming crystal-like rocks to show off to the passerby's. A friendly clown occupied the next window down. I'm usually not partial to clowns, however there was something about this one that had charm. The next antique store had a Christmas sort of theme going on inside their window. Looking at the stuffed bear inside, I wondered who it belonged to and where it had been. As I went along, I came to a very unique toy store called Fuzziwigs. This window was the most intriguing of all and I found that I just couldn't get myself away from it. Intricate mechanical toys were arranged to perfection inside. As I stood there watching the toys going around and around, it instantly made me feel like a kid again and brought me so much joy. This store was a very interesting subject to photograph indeed!
