I enjoyed taking walks around downtown Harpenden in between writing or working on my book. Every so often, when the weather permitted, taking photo walks always helped keep my creative juices flowing.

Of course I was going to search for some color that pops to add to the photos. The image above of the shopping cart was a cool find; I love the colors and contrast here.

The downtown area wasn’t too far from the base (a twenty-minute walk), so it was nice to get out and explore Harpenden a few different times. There are a few grocery stores, a lot of thrift shops, pubs, restaurants, banks, and other boutique stores.

The first day exploring Harpenden, I took time to walk up and down the Main Street, photographing it all, wanting to see what was in this town. The following trips to town, I tired to venture down some of the side streets, finding more little hidden gems around town.

Thank you Harpenden for being so cute, I hope to see you again one day.
