(looks better on black.)
my little girl was reading this morning and i spotted the light shining through the trees outside and onto the walls of the bedroom. i like how it delicately reflects off the pages of the book. how appropriate i thought...another addition to the book series!!

I do love the book shots - I've only taken one, and that was a closed book. I need to play more with something like this.
