I was wondering if anyone would notice!  Of course, being chistosa, I left it as is.  |

I have a favorite bookstore that has a cafe with a wonderful patio ensconced under an arbor of wisteria. It has always been a favorite place to sneek away, have a pot of tea, do some reading and mingle with bibliophiles. I found that even with my kindle I still love browsing the shelves. Now I make notes of what I want to put on my wish list.  It is so relaxing and when I go there on my first day off of the week, it feels like I am giving myself such a special gift. |

I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous, dragonfly! I'd love to have a place like this to which I could sneak away, read, and drink hot tea. Beautiful! |

Just got back from the western side of Ireland...only one pic handy with the Kindle though.  At the Cliffs of Moher; amazing place. And yes, I actually did sit & read there for a while!:  |

LOL--that one & the one Jesspark made are still my two favorites! The rest are all old Disney ride posters I've pulled from the web & reformatted, so it's all Disney, all the time. What more relaxing than that scene?? and of course with Kindle ♥ ??
-Sasha Lyz
The trip was an interesting one--we were told over and over by LITERALLY everyone we met that we had the only decent week of weather they'd had all year! No summer at all for them this year; it's been cloudy, cold, rainy, misty, foggy, you name it. The previous week, the cliffs hadn't just been invisible, you apparently couldn't see 20 feet in front of you. So needless to say, everywhere we went was just full of people. Getting pics that didn't include tons of tourists was just about impossible. But in this one, since the majority were either behind me or way over on the cliffs to the left, they're not quite so obtrusive.  Peaceful reading wasn't all that easy either as there were always crowds. Interestingly enough, I didn't get even ONE comment on the Kindle while we were there, and I did have it out pretty frequently. The two places I should have taken pics--Newark Airport (our 3+ hour layover both ways, ugh) and the Irish hospital ER we spent one night in. Those are where I got most of my reading done! **snort** (Reading material for the trip: J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Not bad if you're into that sort of thing; one of the books isn't available on Kindle though....grrr........) |

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30670636&l=7378ff6c68&id=1268277939We're in the Fraser Canyon in BC, Canada (about 3 hours northeast of Vancouver, which is on the west coast). This photo is from last weekend, when my son Jesse and I tried to entertain a bit at a community party. I'd show you Jesse's Kindle 2, but it's still where the cheque is... in the mail! I'm very glad to have discovered this community. Thanks for the generous welcome! Shas ps- I can't make the photo post, so I'm just gonna give you the URL to click on. I'm about done for the day, but I'll try again soon.

That washboard-type thingy (is that really what it is?) looks sort of like a prehistoric Kindle, though! |

"The secret in this case is to click on the photo on that page so that only the photo is then displayed in your browser, then use that URL between the [ img ] tags" Of course! *smacking head* Thanks, Nogdog. When I was in university (in my 30s) my beard completely hid my belt buckle! Now, alas, my belly does that for me... Shas  |

Today while 4-wheeling, I discovered how wonderful it was to be able to read in the SUN! It was incredible! I purchased my Kindle in the fall last year so didn't get to try it out in the outdoors. Anyway, I am getting off track. It is hard to spot but I have my Kindle out and was sneaking some reading time at Sand Lake, OR. My husband caught me before I realized what he was doing -- he can't understand how I would prefer to read over 'wheeling. As you can see... I think I got the best of both!  |

You have 2 of my favorite things there: the Kindle (of course) and a beautiful sand and surf location. I'd love to be right there with you! |
