Evening Grooming Bay in Port-au-Prince Pet Store

Metal clipper guards rest in a shallow tray beside crisp white towels folded into neat rectangles. Appointment cards lie scattered on the stainless steel counter, their handwritten notes visible under the glow of bright task lamps. The setting is an aisle inside a Port-au-Prince pet store, where the last blue light of evening falls through a window, mixing with the warm interior lamps. Shadows settle into the corners of the room, highlighting the calm professionalism of the space. The turn of the season is suggested by the weight of the towels and the specific arrangement of tools. One reflection of a lamp glints off the edge of a metal guard, anchoring the quiet moment.
