Though I wonder if she ever does think of the moment the way I do, that day, sunny afternoon, I photographed her and she let me.
I skipped my rule #1 : Be discreet, shoot and walk away rather I chose to play fair which is rare, my rule #2 : Ask when you darn sure they won’t refuse.
She utterly refused though not for long perhaps she anticipated I’ll just stand there sulking all day and trust me I’m quite good at it..

Wonderful portrait!
Thank you Victor!
sembra che non voglia farci entrare nei suoi pensieri e nella sua casa
Assolutamente. Deve blog su WordPress
So you’re patient and determined, are you? Those are great qualities!
I’m also quite patient and determined to have my very busy friend open up the comment box too.
Hmm… you haven’t posted for a long time, my friend. I’ve been checking every now and then…
Oh, and another thing. The photo is Brilliant. Yes, spelled with a capital. I came back in great style. You make me proud.
I was always a hello away from you.
Now you make me blush…
Spring time. Gift me a cardboard box dream on your blog…
It’s a great portrait.
Thanks Mike.
Great portrait.
Thanks Ron!
🙂 Hello goodevening, this is a gorgeous photo and I love it !
Thank you very much Serach!
She looks noble. Amazing colors!
Thank you very much dear Daffodil!
It’s a striking photo, with the center of color surrounded by white. You have some amazing pictures and I love the stories that go with them.
Thank you David!
I love how colorful she is. Great shot!
Thank you Manon and I love your new shoes!!
Thanks! Air max is my new craze, I want to have all colors…it’s not healthy 😀
You won through !! And such a good day is plain to see. Now I see behind the door. x
With every right picture/poem we win, next morning the battle begins, kettle knows and you and no one else….
Wonderful portrait! You’ve captured something that goes beyond words. 😀
Aw…thank you so much Jackie! 🙂
Beautiful
Thank you
I’m glad she said yes – it’s a beautiful portrait.
Thank you very much Richard.
Her face speaks of years of patience-though it sounds like she might have met her match 😉 Excellent work Arjun!
Ha Ha..I’m glad you like it Meg. Thank you! 🙂
And she looks so happy about it. I can understand why you persisted. The contrast with the white is amazing. (Best word I could dredge up this early in the morning)
Lol…I believe you Shelley…Wink at John for me please!
Done!
A really great shot, even worth a good sulk.
Ah…Ha ha…Thank you Elena!!
Wonderful, she wears the best colors!
Yup….Thank you very much Resa!
All righty then …I quite forgot the giggling 😛
Really?! and I thought of you many times Elisa. Never stop being who you are and you are awesome!
Somehow I didn’t get this one until finding it now. What a rich character and wise face and you got it all! Thanks for the like on my current post. Likes from you are treasured. Maybe in my next life I can come back and do photos like yours and earn a living doing Indian dance. My dreams that will never be realized in this life. But I have to be good now. 😐
She humbly sits there arrayed in such magnificent colors
