large book, little book

i was set on photographing the fake peonies for today's large/little photo. but i glanced at the bottom of one of my book shelves and saw that i have a hardbound book titled "The Discovery of the Titanic". awesome! because i liked reading anything about the titanic and i could read them again and again. then i remembered that this book was supposed to be in paperback, which i had read from front cover to back cover not too long ago. what gives? i was going to chuck it to being old and senile when i saw on the other shelf the same book, only it's in paperback format. so i realized i ain't no senile yet (although i love that i had a good deal of 30% off seniors discount yesterday at the drug store :-P). ergo i made a side-by-side and included the fake peonies to put more colours in the photo.

i wonder how many books i have in duplicate?

playing with ann @olivetreeann this week for "little and/or large" theme of her 'for the love of L' challenge for this month. although she's still in hiding.

also tagging this for my get-pushed challenge set by my partner this week, kerstin @jothan whose challenge is for me to "take a photo with a word (or words) on it. You could find things with words on it or you could put it on the photo afterwards."

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

@jothan - kerstin, here's my response to your challenge. i might have another one, but for now this is it. hope you approve!

I have to laugh. I do the duplicate books thing, and then don't remember I read it until 1/3 of the way through when something makes a remaining brain cell fire and I go, oh!

Great shot!

I like how you are including little and large into your shots. I did not even turn my computer on yesterday so I am falling behind, hopefully I can catch up over the next few days.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done.

[Francoise]

what fun; the peonies sort of look like memorials for the sunken.

[Leana Niemand]

LOL how many books do you have? This one I would love to read!

The comopsition of this ie terrific! I like the pop of color of the flowers and the over all execution of the shot for Anns challenge! Nicely done~

[Chris Johnson]

Great composition of the two books against the pink flowers!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It is one of those fascinating subjects and so tragic as it really could have been avoided. Good shot!

[Bill Fenske]

Great choice for the love of L I say. What the L? Why didn't you tag it twice? You have two large and little items? :-P

[Kerstin]

Haha, I am guilty of having duplicate books. I like hardcovers, because they are usually prettier, but they are so expensive. If I really like a book, I buy the hardcover, even if I already own a paperback edition. I try to give the duplicates away, but sometimes they stay in my bookshelf...
I like that you included the peonies in the shot, great colours!

Love how this Little/Big challenge is helping you find all sorts of things around the house! Once we finished renovating the house and started putting things away in their designated spots I discovered that I had about 15 tape measures, 8 bottles of Windex, 10 pairs of glasses, you name it, they were in multiples as they were so hard to locate before! Or, at least that's my story!
