Brought Taajin to the playground yesterday while his brothers were doing homework. I enjoy the time with him. Brought him to the library that evening and read him some books too ...
My little boy is growing up so fast!
After receiving two Creator Bookshops, the only sensible thing to do was upsize it. This is the result of part one (An upsized house next door will follow)
Set 10270 is a beautiful set, and it was a lot of fun modding it to take it that little bit further.
PS, There's rolling video on my Instagram showing it in a little more detail.
Our Daily Challenge 2-8 November: Bookcase/Bookshelf.
I found it very much trickier than I thought to make an interesting image.
I have hundreds of books which are mainly arranged by subject and size, so the choices are manifold
And of course its all flash indoors at the moment, which I HATE!
There is a slightly more creative one of a different shelf here www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/the-garden-in-winter/2651784
“I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
“We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.” – Jules Verne
Haven't been feeling very inspired photo wise lately, I guess the winter weather doesn't help, but I put the trusty 50mm on the camera today and here's the result.

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.
