Study of a Small French Girl

Today, Sunday, they had the blessing of the horses. I told my friend Patricia that I would take pics. This little girl was very pensive (?) unsure (?) confuseed (?). I couldn't tell. She was so serious. You see she's sitting on a pony and is in traditional dress. She is about to take part in a procession. 


What is going on? Why am I on this small horse. I never saw a horse this small. 


and it's hot!

I asked her to smile and this is what I got, priceless! 

warming up but still faking the smile. 


better...and pretty

Why are you in my picture?

at the end of the procession, this is what she looked like. She finally decided to have fun. 

The real smile.
