What fun - my daughter does the same thing - goes outside to read a book and is totaly lost in the moment...
I like the warm colors from the evening sun in this photo - well done.

@MJ: The light caught my eye when I looked out and saw her sitting there! Plus the fact that she was so into the book she never saw me... at first.
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Interesting... I hope she checked for bugs before sitting there! A nice study.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
So totally engrossed in her book. What a wonderful portrait of a lovely girl basked in the golden sunset. Did she get it finished before the sun went down? This will be a wonderful memory for both of you.

@Marion: Thank you, Marion. And, yes, she did finish the book! She's an avid reader!
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Your granddaughter will really appreciate your photos of her when she is older! Don't loose them!

@Craig: I'm hoping she does, right now it's "Grandma has the camera... AGAIN!"
@Ana Lúcia: Thank you.

Lovely portrait in situation. We feel her concentration and the light is warm and soft.
