Hold Your Breath

The little one is really pulling some faces. Perhaps it’s the musk on the coat. That’s why the other one is standing so far apart. She’s either embarrassed to be next to her uncle or her sister, or she’s posing on her own for another photographer.  Or she’s using common sense and she’s keeping a view of the reindeer. Or it could be the outdoor odour of the local animals as their scent gets blown over by the wind. If I’m lucky, she might be getting ready to blow me a kiss. Or maybe she’s getting cold and she’s trying to keep warm and show how cold she is at the same time. Half a foot to her right, there’s some sort of vapour in the air. Has she stepped aside to avoid inhaling it? Or has she exhaled it and she’s trying to hide it from the camera? It might have come out of the other end.
