This Evenings Secret

My final secret is this: My idea of a fun time is spending a quiet evening curled up with a book.

I use to worry that this makes me boring. But I don't really mind anymore.

[Neil Han]

Agree.

[Molly Pankok]

well, if you're boring, than so am i!! this is my perfect evening! wonderfully captured!

[Don Marsh]

What?? Boring?? Reading is awesome, nothing boring about it (unless you are watching someone else do it)!

[Harry J Benson]

The local deli has set up a shelf where we can exchange books. Reading is anything but boring it isn't.

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

Great DOF...and 'secret'. It's nice to stop caring about such things.

[Meghana]

reading is the best way to be! Love the image.. especially the focus on the hand turning the page

[Kristina Melane]

To get lost in a book is the best way to free your mind.

[Michelle]

Books are one of the most wonderful escapes in life.. Great photo.

[Jen Dee]

Neat photo and I too would prefer a good book on many an evening.

[simon peter thorne]

Amazing so simple a shot but well worked out. Like the subdued colours & the DOF. It looks so much better in large you should put that in the notes I've started doing that on some pics. You boring - "NOT AT ALL" - how can you be boring with your inspirational shots.

[Anita]

I love this pic Lauren - it's very serene.

[Denise Escovino]

I love reading too. That's a very nice shot. What are your reading?? DOn't tell me it's Star Trek saga..lol

[Naomi]

This is so lovely I just love the composition and colours and everything about it :]

@neilhan @mollyanne31790 @fallingwaters @jgoldrup @dhaami @kmelane @hjbenson @jendee3 @michelleyoung wow! thank you very much for the nice feedback on this one. i really appreciate the nice comments.

[Sare]

I long for an evening when I can do this and not feel guilt about not reading school stuff!!! I love the focus.

[Lauren]

@spthorne thanks so much Simon and congrats again for the latest door pp pic! Simon, I have no idea how to "view in large". is that a button that ace members get??? hmmm

[Lauren]

@deniseescovino hahaha that comment made me laugh. well, my husband does have the books :D
this one I'm reading is by diana gabaldon and it's a series... but i'm reading several others at the same time, so it's taking me awhile!

[Lauren]

@naomi thanks for the nice feedback :)

[Lauren]

@sare i know what you mean! i rarely read when i was in school too. thanks!

[Don Marsh]

@laurentye Oh, I've heard good things about the Diana Gabaldon books. They had Outlander for free a few months back for the kindle so I downloaded it. I listened to a podcast series from her a few years back - it was very cool to hear from an author like that. Hope you like it!

[Lauren]

@fallingwaters they are really good books, I especially liked the first in the series - Outlander. Really good. I went to see a talk by her when she was in my city a few years ago which was fun! you should read your kindle one some time :)

[simon peter thorne]

@laurentye Lauren it may be an "Ace" thing but on mine when you look above the pic there is a magnifying glass symbol to the left of +Fav. I hit that & get large. Thanks again for your congrats

[Lauren]

@spthorne im glad you pointed it out but now i feel silly for not noticing it before because it seems so obvious now!

[simon peter thorne]

@laurentye Lauren I'm not being nice or making you feel better but I only found it recently cant remember when but it was when I started putting best viewed large on my pic notes so your in good company here lol
