Not much beating around the bush with this person!

Even the way it is coloured follows the injunction.

Have you read the YA book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry? The tree, combined with the wording, brought it to mind immediately.

Beautiful photo, T.

Julie - I like when an image so perfectly suits a phrase.

Jackie - No, I missed out on that book. I missed out on most YA books, actually. I think I spent my YA years in a state of stunned confusion and went on a weird reading hiatus for about three years. I feel terrible admitting this, but I just DID NOT READ when I was about 12 or 13. And anything with a Newberry or Caldecott gold seal made me cynical. I do NOT look back fondly on those years. Oh man, what was the original topic again?

The Giver! Yes - and now there's room for a sequel, The Taker.
