The Reluctant Flower-Child

Not this week, was it?
In fact it was 19 March, Festa de Primavera, CCB.

I'm glad & relieved to tell you that it wasn't my presence that provoked her dark look. Her mother kept pushing her to stand in front of the flower stall, which she patently did not want to do. This was so that her father could take a picture of her, even if she was never going to smile for him.

I don't know what result he got, if any. But this is mine and I am happy with it. Posted by Picasa

I remember this shot too. The kid is looking to you S.T....but now I read your comment and I see that the "dark look" wasn't provoke by you. I'm glad for that.
