Plus, I just love the complexity of her mood and expression. It's real life, not manufactured cuteness...you don't need more. A real lesson for me (and all of us).
I'da bought it too, but it wouldn't have taken me years...!

Dear Jean, and Tom,
Thanks so much for your very kind affirmative words.
Tom: I am in humble awe of your eloquent apraisal. Your insights are also a lesson right back to me again!
Thanks.
All the best to you too,
Garth
