Great shot Jilly!
ReplyDeleteThe blessed ease of familiarity ... personally I could never read a book with one hand ... or maybe I could if that were the option for the other hand!
ReplyDeleteIt's a creative scene and a delightful spot to focus on the theme. But, how can one read with all that scenery available for the eyes to see; guess it shows the power of the written word!!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. That must be one interesting read, not to be distracted by the surroundings.
ReplyDeleteoh my, to be in so comfortable with the one you love. Tender touch, enjoying a good book. I'm envious.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see she is wearing sunglasses. If I try to read by sunlight, I burn my retinas! And I'm glad you explained those hands. At first, I thought she was shading his eyes.
ReplyDeleteSuperb take on the theme today, Jilly! The quote too is spot on.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo - more to it than meets the eye...
ReplyDeleteGreat quot and great photo :)
ReplyDeleteJ'aimerais la position de l'homme : du soleil et une copine qui lise un livre
ReplyDeleteHeureux homme
Good job on this one Jilly.
ReplyDeleteYes, snap! I love their matching black tops and jeans - a real day of relaxation.
ReplyDeleteThat looks very relaxing. What was the reading?
ReplyDeleteSteffe, I don't know what she's reading. I tried enlarging the photo and looking but it's impossible for me to read. Perhaps a romance!
ReplyDeletewhat a great moment!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. A lovely way to spend an afternoon
ReplyDeleteWow Jilly! and you even walked in front of them, what a courage!
ReplyDeleteAaawww. How sweet! Love your photo!
ReplyDeleteDo visit Norwich Daily Photo and find out what I have in store for this month's theme. Happy theme day! Enjoy your weekend!

Jilly! You've done it again! You have such an ability to capture that elusive "je ne sait quoi."
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love the quote :)
ReplyDeleteWeather report....biting, cold easterly wind, damp with frequent showers of fine particles of soaking rain, 100% thick grey overcast, muddy underfoot, with unpleasant sea-going conditions in the Channel between Dover and Calais. Temperature around 5-6 degrees. Recommended clothing: good wind proof, fully water repellant garment, ideally with high collar or light scarf well tucked in. Hat essential and gloves advised for extra comfort. Photography conditions: specific and rather limited.
ReplyDeleteLove the second photo. It almost looks like she is transmitting to him what she is reading from her fingers to his eyes. Or maybe the poor guy just has a headache:)
ReplyDeleteThis one made me smile! My husband and I would both be reading, though I think I'd be staring at the wonderful view half of the time! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the photo with this quote, beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a peaceful, tender scene that only Jilly could be able to capture. And she did it in fact.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and romantic capture..
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better than reading a good book with your loved one very close by...
Beautiful scene. . . It reminds me of the movie "Nottinghill." Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments. . . .Hopefully I'll be commenting more when the semester ends!
Great picture _ I saw Sally's pic but this one (esp with t'extra) is super dooper - so much to be read into the picture - I'm sitting out this month's theme for once.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are lovely - so romantic! I agree, I love sitting and reading with my loved one close by (though actually, we're more likely to be sitting there with his'n'hers laptops, lol!).
ReplyDeleteAh the quote goes perfectly well with the photo! Great choice for today! Happy theme day!
ReplyDeleteAh the quote goes perfectly well with the photo! Great choice for today! Happy theme day!
ReplyDeleteOh Jilly, that just couldn't be lovelier! Perfect quote, too.
ReplyDeleteSo romantic!
ReplyDeleteSteff,Jilly and others interested...
ReplyDeleteMaybe ,she's reading:
"Vous revoir"(2005)from Marc Levy,a french novelist
Love the two angles you've given us today! Splendid!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I think you might be right. I've one other pic I didn't use, have tried to enlarge it enough to read but it's hard - but it looks right. Well done!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photo story Jilly.
ReplyDeleteCae here from Old Man Lincoln. I was privileged to grow up in a home with (literally) thousands of books.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.
Hi Jilly! Back to the Blogosphere to visit this wonderful blog! And this time with a great theme shot!!
ReplyDeleteLoved to learn the French lesson... ;))
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is now strolling somewhere around the Holy See of Echmiadzin. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
Wonderful shots; great captures.
ReplyDeleteAh, but reading by the French Riviera - that must be a truly good book. Wonderful people-love-books shot for Theme Day. I also had to look it up & yes, it is, Marc Levy with English title of Finding You. I've only heard of his movies. Maybe I can try reading this one in French...peut-être...
ReplyDeleteI confirm she's reading "Vous revoir" by Marc Levy, the sequel to "Et si c'était vrai".
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Jilly!
What a great shot although from what i can see it is a shame she is reading instead of taking in the view of the blue water
ReplyDeleteHappy theme day!
I like the story that you are telling here. The complementarity shot tells all.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a romantic photo. It reminds me of the last scene in Notting Hill. Awesome shot and brilliant interpretation of the theme.
ReplyDeleteJilly,
ReplyDeleteThey're so in love. You've captured a moment perfectly.
By the way, if you're a walker or runner, or even a bike rider, listening to books on tape, especially on casette, is a great way to get some miles in.
Lovely, original shot for Theme Day!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. The color of the water is so refreshing. They are so comfortable with one another. I think this depicts a great relationship as well as a great theme day. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of photos! Well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy Theme Day!
Looks like she is mutitasking. Sheilding his eyes from the sun and reading.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely candid photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photograph. It is so romantic and your words add to the romance of reading...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to spend an afternoon with a book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tranquil and romantic photo. Love it.
