Blobs of Chocolate

My girl's best friend spent the night - my friend's 27 year-old air conditioning unit flat out died yesterday. The weather is still pretty seasonable in the high 80s and low 90s. So Clara, who just turned 13, came to share Shanti's air. That's Clara in front, and my girl is closest to the camera. A couple of geriatrics lounging after breakfast watching the birds flit around.  

The extra is Clara reacting to the garbage truck. When she was a wee pup, her mum nipped off her ear - so it always sort of sticks out. Kinda cute, I think.
