Aster

Aster, the newest edition to our extended family, was adopted from Ethiopia.
Although she arrived with a few health problems, she is adapting to life in the U.S. quickly
and is picking up English rapidly from her 2 older "sisters".

Thanks Kiki - she's a doll and does seem to be very bright. That's always a concern when a child has been malnourished in the womb and early childhood, but she seems just fine! :-) CJ

It's the keyboard.. I tell ya'.. I meant "sculpts" of course. Correcting, in case the typo actually means something.

Very nice shots. And a skin color that sculps like a dream with a flash, like here. She looks like a smart kid :)

Thanks Gerry, Rod, Tom and Debi! I almost NEVER do portraits but this was at Aster's third birthday party and I was forced to use the on-board flash as it was too dark. She is a very happy child and seems to be recovering well from the extreme malnutrition she suffered before she was given up for adoption. CJ

Such a lovely child. Her eyes seem to speak - Debi

Perfect for the challenge. This makes good use of the opportunity to show more of a subject than can be conveyed in one shot. Very nice, flash or not. -tv

It's hard to judge picys in this silly dipthingy challenge but it looks like you tamed the flash really well here. Aster's really cute too, how old is she?
