Describing the photographs			The first photograph shows a woman reading a book
			In the background we can see a family sitting around a table outside a café

Comparing the photographs			Both pictures are about being a parent

			Unlike the first photo, this looks like a happy occasion

Speculating			Perhaps they are celebrating something
			Maybe the reason they look so serious is because ...
			She might be a busy working mother

Personal feelings			I wouldn't like to be in their shoes
			The first photo reminds me of my own childhood
			Personally, I'd love to visit a place like that
