Yes, it's a Kindle. Believe it or not, the kid was reading a Terry Pratchett novel! He mom was helping her out a bit, but Peyton's got incredible reading skills for a first grader. (Peyton is the granddaughter of our very colosest friends...so sort of a granddaughter by proxy for me!)
I just had the conversation of Kindle v. book the other day. I still like holding on to books - too many. I have 5 full bookshelves. That said, I'm trying to read "The Power Broker" (about Robert Moses) and it's 1300+ pages. I think a Kindle would be better for that.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
very sweet photo. Is she reading on a Kindle?!

ReplyDeleteOne of the best things a parent can pass on to a child is love of reading. That and critical analysis, which often comes from reading!
ReplyDeleteNice image!
That's a wonderful photo Bobbie. Its nice to see the love and warmth that is still there even as technology changes.
ReplyDeleteI like your use of the vignette effect, puts the focus right on the comfy and cosy subjects.
ReplyDeleteI do like the processing, the vignette underlines the message of the picture
ReplyDeleteA very special portrait of mother and child sharing a comfy, cozy moment.
ReplyDeleteA precious picture. It speaks volumes. I hope that you made a copy for them.
