The Long and Winding Road

Took a series of snaps of this very timid and cute looking girl last weekend. She was playing all by herself with the plants and rocks in the same ground in which I had earlier taken the picture of the football playing kids. It was a bit tough to photograph her as I did not want to do it without her permission. So I asked a localite who was relaxing in the park to ask her so in Kanadda. That proved to be a blunder as he instantly became suspicious of my intent and asked what will people think if they saw me snapping. Finally after much consoling and explaining from my side, he tried to get the message across to her but she coyly slunk away. I then had to stand from quite a distance and surreptitiously shoot her. In one series of photos, I set the camera on a high burst mode and got a set of shots where she slowly looks up from behind the branch and becomes aware of the lens focussed on her.
