My day was waiting for a photo opportunity and it just didn’t happen! I looked at others - flowers, sunsets, children, seascapes and still didn’t feel inspired!

In the end after a lovely sunset ( done before), bird lolly scramble (done before) I tried to understand what effect different settings of the flash made. All learning. I am enjoying this book so much!

Three good things:
1. The word ‘dance’ got my attention first for this book! I don’t know what attracts most with books - the title - the author, the cover, the first page.
2. Discovered some chocolate is both gluten free and egg free! Lindt.
3. When you move from one place to another later in life, its nice to realise you have made a good decision!
The fourth good thing... learning! :) Good news about the chocolate, too.

I want to dance on the beach. Lovely cover!

Enticing title! I thought all chocolate was gluten free! Ooops...
June 5th, 2015  
Fantastic cover...that would attract me too! I have just finished Us by David Nichols & really enjoyed it,

@amandal Now that would be a good photo!

@taffy Most of it just says "traces of gluten' You have to be so careful!

@happypat I don't know how you have time to read, Pat with all that is going on each day at the moment!

@maggiemae Every night in bed!!!

Nice shot Maggie.
June 5th, 2015  
looks like a book I would like to read too :)
June 5th, 2015  
Great shot and I will check out the book :)

@maggiemae Too bad I am landlocked. Cruising later in the summer. I will try to dance!

Must put it on my list!

Interesting

You've caught my interest in this book too. The flash setting you finally chose worked well.

Nothing like relaxing with a nice book

Have to check out if the book is in my library.

we all have those days, i take sunsets all the time but rarely use them--done before as you say.
June 6th, 2015  
Looks like a good book- but I have tons waiting for my attention already! I haven't been shooting since I've had so many from my trip to post. When I finally get around to shooting again, I'll have forgotten what to do!

May be just go out and dance with camera on tripot.
June 6th, 2015  
Love a good book!!!
June 6th, 2015  
Interesting, you did not feel inspired but your shot has given inspiration to others to read and dance - imagine someone on the other side of the world may read this book or dance on the perfect beach!
June 6th, 2015  
Oh yes, that means I can enjoy chocolate again. Is the book good?
June 6th, 2015  
inspirational pic ...nice one

@jokristina I love what you say, Jo! Its like a physical desire when the beach is beautiful!
June 6th, 2015  
love the shot, but want to know what on earth is a bird lolly scramble.
June 6th, 2015  
@ceilidh Its about a woman who tries to live her live for herself rather than for her husband as has been the fact for 26 years!

@francoise A lolly scramble for anyone is when you throw lollies (sweets) in the air and children scramble on the ground for them! With birds, it just means lots of treats out there with no perameters on how each bird should behave!

It's definitely book covers that appeal to me and this one does. I must get it to read so you may not feel inspired but you have inspired me
June 6th, 2015  
You highlighted it nicely, sometimes we just have to experiment
June 6th, 2015  
I have just bought this on my Kindle. Thanks for the recommendation - I needed a new book to read. Always have to read a bit when I go to bed. We are off to Yorkshire on Friday for a,week so it will be lovely to have a good book to relax with hopefully in the sunshine!
June 6th, 2015  
@pamknowler Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
June 7th, 2015  
Lovely book shot! Looks a very interesting cover.
June 7th, 2015  
I am not an active reader, but I think the cover has a lot to do with even striking an interest, and the title by far has to hit the mark
June 7th, 2015  
Some days are like that! In the end still a good picture.
#2 You are too good to the girl to find chocolate for her!
June 7th, 2015  
Don't know that book or author… would you recommend it? The cover photo looks good anyway! I just read on one of your other postings that you moved to your 'new' place 20 years ago…. it couldn't have been that late in life. See! I pay attention! :)

Is this book as good as it looks Maggie? I have't come across Dianna Appleyard before.
June 8th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Goodness, David - you are paying attention! The book is really a girlie book but well written. We moved from the North 20 years ago and then moved again 5 years ago. Downsized!
June 8th, 2015  
@maggiemae When we downsized 9 years ago the boys kept coming back!
June 8th, 2015  
This book sounds good to me. I'll have to check out our library for it.
June 9th, 2015  
That is a beautiful photo......dancing in the waves.....I think I might try that this evening!! Yes, that book would attract my attention, too....did it turn out to be what you expected?!

Nice shot. Is it a good book? I love reading. It stimulates the brain. My favorite genre is horror. I haven't taken a good sunset shot or sunrise shot in ages. I have to try and wake up earlier and go out before the sun goes down every now and then.
