Engrossed

Those that follow me may know my boys love books. This is my eldest this morning. I day I knew would come when his head was firmly lost in a book that he was reading to himself. Lost within the story he didn't even notice me take this. Happy weekend everyone.

Excellent shot and so nice to see a child enjoying a book. So many of them don't seem to like reading anything at all.

[Taffy]

His body language says so much about his engagement. Wonderful capture!

[Dianne]

I love this shot - so nice to see a young man engrossed in reading. I am thrilled for you - and I imagine you have encouraged a love of books by reading to them from a very young age.

[Pam Knowler]

Oh I love this Ruth!! Wonderful to see him loving books rather than the computer!! Love his legs!! Fav!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful candid shot.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent candid shot, can't beat a good book

[Debs Stott]

Love it when kids relax by reading! Super shot.

[Sam]

Still in PJs too!!!

[sally agnew]

Cute :)

[Jasmine]

Love it! You've composed this beautifully, I love the square for it.

[Jasmine]

I've just noticed what he's reading, is that Moody Margaret from the Horrid Henry series? I didn't know she had her own books. I love the Horrid Henrys almost as much as the kids

[Susan]

Love this photo. So sweet to capture.

[Simply Amanda]

Preciously cute. Love the pov!

[Jane Armstrong]

Your family pictures are a pleasure to see. Lovely image!

[gloria jones]

Cute shot.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Super capture and a thing he will increase over the years. Just wait to there are magazines in the bathroom or under his pillow, been there and you have to turn a blind eye.

[Newbank Lass]

@ladymagpie he already reads on the loo.....

[Lyn Berriman]

A FAV for giving your child a love of books - well done! Super capture.

[Sally Ings]

Wonderful to see that books are still important to some youngsters! I cannot imagine life without books.

[Bill Fenske]

Aww, so great that your kids love books. Happy weekend to you too.

[Andy]

Very nice candid and I like the pose.

[Pat Knowles]

He will never be a bored child......good for you & his school for encouraging him........the greatest pleasure there is in life I think. A contented child.

[Sarah Munnings]

How fab, could never get my lad to enjoy reading......this is a lovely, he is so chilled

[iCamera]

Ah, the color version. Not sure if I can pin this time which one I might prefer. I like the color because of the red on the book which grabs my attention to the story of the image.

[Daisy Miller]

Darling capture. I think I like the BW version better, but both are good.

[☠northy]

what a precious capture!

[Ukandie!]

Such a great shot, but having seem both versions, I like the b&w best.

[Babs]

How wonderful that your boys love books. We are all book people and I don't think I could live without them.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

A reader, love to see! I'm trying to get my boys interested but they don't really seem to be into it. I'll keep trying :-)

[Margaret Obey]

@overalvandaan Saxa keep reading to them that will help

[Margaret Obey]

I love, love , love this Ruth. I bet you're not surprised at that! Oh that all kids loved reading like yours do.

[Jo]

Oh there's nothing better than seeing your child engrossed in a book - wonderful capture.

[Irene]

It is great to have kids that love reading. It will be a companion for the rest of his life

[Pete]

Nice to see his head in a real book and not a screen! Nice shot

[Stephanie Swift]

Just love this capture. As a retired librarian and someone who also loves books, I'm always so delighted to see children reading what I call "real" books and not absorbed in some electronic device. Fav for me!
