And so far as Emma is concerned, you can see there's a twinkle in her eyes. Even tho' she's not smiling... there's something there that's just a moment away!
I think your shot captures that quite well.

A poet once said "April is the cruelest month ..." but around Berkeley and Oakland we celebrate Christmas in April. A group for which I do some photography ( http://www.rebuildingtogether.org/ }gets together for a weekend or so every April and renovates homes for seniors and people of low income. It's amazing to see some of the transformations, and how good it makes the homeowners feel, both to have their homes repaired and to be singled out for such special attention.
Here's Emma, who's about 85 years old. Hers was one of the homes renovated last April. She wanted a snap of her wearing her purple checked hat to match the lilac bush in her yard. She's quite a woman - very energetic and sharp, with a sly sense of humor ;-))
