Reading in the flowers

Nothing like going on a vacation somewhere scenic ... so you can just read SOMEWHERE ELSE! How's that for a change of scenery? :)

I used to do this all the time as a child... drove my parents nuts. "Emily! Look at the trees! Get your nose out of that book!"

I think that was Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates. But he went through many books over the five days we were gone.

Oh bless him. I'm looking forward to getting my nose back into a book once I get my head sorted. It's one of the main things I've really missed, you know, losing track of time and really getting caught up in the fantasy of the story.....

That's funny. One Summer when my 2 kids were a lot younger, we took a road trip to Yellowstone from California. I bought books and toys for them to keep them occupied. Every time I looked in the back seat, they were both reading. I was constantly after them- "Get your nose out of the book and look at the view". To this day the kids never let me forget that I bought the books for them to read, and then wouldn't quit hounding them about reading when they should be looking at the scenery. This shot is so precious- absolutely perfect.
Thank you for posting it in the Interestingness Pool!

I miss that most about childhood summers... reading stacks and stacks of books and no responsibilities.

Lovely shot! Thanks for conjuring up some old memories!

It's so great to see a child who loves reading instead of wanting to watch TV all that time. Well done! And the photograph to catch it, well it's just superb!
