It’s Nature Friday over at my friend Rosy’s place. (Click here to join the hop.)
We got our first bloom of the season. It is a tall purple iris. When Mommy was growing up, her folks also called it a flag. It looked pretty lonely so Lucy and me, we decided to involve it in a contest with us.
So here is how it works. We both posed in front of Miss Iris and want all of you to vote on who did best. The only problem is that it was kinda hot out and we went for a walk first. Even so, I’m pretty sure I will win. I’m even going to let Lucy go first. Lucy said she is featuring three quarter and side poses, in a thoughtful mode. She picked a purple border to match the flower.
Now it’s my turn. Hmm, I guess I needed my beard washed after supper.I decided to do a side pose of just my face and a two thirds pose. I chose a pretty pink border to match my collar. I mean, who wants to look at some stupid flower, anyhow, right?
OK, so now it’s your turn to vote (for me).

You both are our ‘candidates!’ Very pretty flag (we called them that when I was growing up too!) but doesn’t hold a candle to the two of you guys!

Mommy thinks there will be some yellow daffies soon, but we are wondering if they shouldn’t have already bloomed. (Mommy’s not good with flowers.) xox Xena and Lucy
