The Birthday Party

Last week our grandson turned one year old. Normally an occasion for a fun party with lots of pics. Instead, because of Covid-19, it was a drive through affair with curbside gift pick up- 5 minutes tops. I got this quick snap of him in his car seat as his grandma was putting presents in the back of the SUV. We have virtual visits every day, but this was the first time in a month that he saw me in person and he was pretty confused so it was tough to get him to smile. Our new normal. We're all in this together.

I hope he can have a party soon. The look on his face does convey confusion. Happy birthday sweet boy. V

Such a sweet image. Like noted, that expression says it all.

He is adorable! At least you got to see him for a few minutes. I haven't seen my grandchildren since Christmas. I just hope I will be able to attend my granddaughter's graduation in June.

Very touching. Expressive. Monochrome really suits the moment.

Excellent in monochrome. The expression is apt for the times.

Yes, it must be distressing for the little guy to not get his hugs. Things will get better.

an image rich with feeling..perhaps the lad is anxious when suddenly confronted by a photo-cyclops...where's grandpa gone?

He is adorable. I don't think he will remember thee bad times. V

It is a great portrait and admirable B&W editing. Sad that all of us are missing so much of life with our loved ones.

So curious at the man pointing something at him. It will/should be a family treasure and a symbol of the time "VV"

So sad that he looks so unsettled, especially on his birthday.

It is a heartbreaking story and his beautiful face that seems apprehensive just tears me up!

Nice portrait and excellent monochrome results.
At least he knew you were there.
