The Ruffian

She's a beautiful girl, and she looks very confident! She must get some serious emotional support from the rag doll, frogs and blanket! Knowing they are around, I'm sure, gives her all the confidence she needs to suffer a childhood full of skinned knees! Thanks for sharing.

Cheryl, are you the motherly and/or grandmotherly type? I tend to attract animals and young children but when I point a camera their way they turn into Charlie Brown and Linus. You seem to do a little better!

When she's twelve, she'll probably hate the picture; but Mom will love it all the more!!! This is the kind of shot that us parents put on our night stands so that we can see it every morning, for the rest of our lives. Great stuff...keep it coming.

I'm with dr bob...my relatives never see me without a camera in my hand, but yet the kids turn all cheezy on me when I'm trying to photograph them. How do you get them to relax and be themselves???

They simple get better and better! Wonderful photograph!

Charlie................

Agree, the knee makes the picture. Lovely girl and wonderful photograph.
