This week’s photo challenge is Admiration.
Show us someone or something you admire (and tell us about them, too)!
I admire independent bookstores! This one below is a store called Face In a Book. I just love the name. Who knows what treasures await inside for a youngster who enters. It could be the beginning of a lifelong love of reading and books.
I visited this store yesterday in honor of the Independent Bookstore Day.
Such an inviting store with lots of displays and special touches.
With everything close by and in reach, including a section for local authors.
A great visit and I bought a book I can’t stop reading. Everyday should be Independent Bookstore Day! Don’t forget to support your local bookshop. We can’t take it for granted it will always be there.
For more photos for this prompt, visit the Weekly Photo Challenge site.

Fabulous book shop! Always remember, you can’t press flowers in a kindle.
There are many things (and people I greatly admire) but the one I want to tell you about, is a Railway Bridge. I was looking at it only an hour ago. I wrote about it on my blog. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks, Cathy! They were actually a lot people there, so I tried not to photograph them. I love this little place. I feel lucky we have it.

Great picture. I wish we had some bookstores like that around (hey, I’d take any kind of bookstore besides the campus one that only sells textbooks for $200 each). Did they do anything special for Independent Bookstore Day? Also, I love that store name. A nice alternative to Facebook.

Only textbooks? Oh, no. I’m sorry. I’m sure you’ve seen your share of those. They did have an author in at the store and other than that, not really, although they had a busy day with a lot of customers! So, that’s good for them. I didn’t even relate the title to Facebook. Of course. Maybe that would make the store more inviting to people because it sounds so familiar…hey, where have I heard that before? Something with Face and book in it?? 🙂
