Pheonix... rising from the ashes.

Uploaded: September 29, 2007

Description

ISO 200, F11, 1/125.
This is the first in a series of my daughter taken yesterday. Thank you so much to all my friends who have offered support and kindness to my family and myself following her terrible accident. There are still a few problems but she's doing better than we dared hope.
