Come Away

Come away oh human child
To the waters and the wild
W. B. Yeats

When I entered the fair grounds I saw two children eating and playing. The older of the two looked up and saw I was carrying a camera. She beckoned me over. Kneeling down I said hello. With all the beguiling charm of an innocent she pointed at my camera and asked, "Do you wanna take my picture?" Of course I did and she was a wonderful model (I asked her parent if it was okay first though, wise practice when photographing children in public). She set the charm and mode for the day.
