Kids the world over love balloons. This boy looks like he is ready to let go of the untied balloon and let it 'whoosh' away only to retrieve it and refill it again, but then he caught sight of you with the camera and looks a little surprised by it. Wonderful shot of this child, Pierre. It brought to my mind the story of the Red Balloon.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Oh Pierre, you captured this boys look perfectly! The light on his shirt and on his hand is so good. Children and balloons, oh yes, they love them, but so do I !! Thanx for a lovely photo my dear friend..Verena
That is a great expression on his face, almost as though he was playing away and turned around and caught us watching. What a truly wonderful capture this is, he is so cute. This is going into my faves.
