[Leica] My shy 2-year-old granddaughter: 1 portrait

[Brian Reid]

Because of the plague, I hadn't seen my granddaughter Nora since her 1st 
birthday party, which I attended on 16 March 2020 in London, where she 
lives. Everyone else joined us via Zoom.

Nora is now nearly 2 1/2. The plague seemed to be in remission. So my 
family gathered in Maine last week. All of my children and their 
families. I re-established contact with Nora and her parents. She 
happily observed "You are not on the phone! You are real". We had used 
FaceTime a lot during the lockdown months.

There were a lot of people gathered in a rustic little cabin, and every 
day there was some crisis that demanded the attention of adults (Covid 
exposure and subsequent testing, clogged septic tank, hordes of 
carpenter ants, etc). Little Nora was a bit shy and withdrawn from all 
of the hubbub.

The 3rd day I asked her if I could take her picture, as a posed shot. 
She agreed, but said she needed to wear her hat. She put two sheer blue 
scarves over her head and then agreed to be photographed. This is what I 
got:

I like it. Her mother (my daughter) likes it. Nora herself has expressed 
no opinion.
