Sitting on her grandfather's knees, the shy girl played with a balloon.
First he tightened him delicately in his hands and then gave him movement, as if it were a friendly bird that he would like to play with her all the time.
But suddenly he saw me and was surprised. He realized that he approached him to take a picture and thought that the best he could do was protect himself, hiding his face behind his globe-friend.
The grandfather smiled. He invited me to approach and authorized me to photograph his granddaughter.
The balloon was white and, fortunately for me, it seemed to understand that I had no intention of bothering her friend.
I asked the camera focus mechanism to look for it behind the white sphere.
And in the viewfinder, splendid of innocence and shyness, his face appeared.
