Oh I can't even begin to express how thrilled I was to see all these beautiful crocuses springing up in Duthie Park!
So I raced across to Gail, confident she would agree that we had the perfect subject matter for this week's Nature Friday.
Can you believe she tried to pour cold water on the idea, saying my predecessor Bouncing Bertie had posed in the crocuses several times, and before him Hamish the Westie, and that really, the whole concept of 'terrier posing in the early spring flowers' was old and tired and could not be regarded as in any way special. (Between you and me, there's a possibility that it's Gail who is getting old and tired, and I think she should consider herself very fortunate to have a bright young pup around to help her see the beauties of nature with fresh eyes.)
So anyway, it took me a quite while to convince my human that, since I have never encountered crocuses before, they seem very special to me. Eventually she agreed to take a few photos of me 'posing nicely'.
I hope you like the pictures.
Happy Nature Friday!
oooh how beautiful ... and we bet they all came out to see you!!!!
ReplyDeleteNever mind if it's all been done before Nobby, we are delighted to see you posing so beautifully amongst the crocuses.
ReplyDeleteNext it will be daffodils - and then you'll know it's spring!
Love,

Beautiful posing, Nobby, and we can never have too many photos of handsome dogs among the flowers. As you say, the crocuses are new to you and thus the photos are new, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - there are hundreds of them and so very beautiful, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable in the crocuses! Every pup should have their own photos taken there.

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, I fur one am glad you convinced Gail... these are glorious shots (and I would add that your pose with the snowdrops last post did not go unnoticed, either!) Haven't seen any flowers in the pots along the promenade here, yet - but lots of shoots and promise! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Crocus flowers sure do become you. And we may have seen flowers before but not those flowers and certainly not with you sitting in them. They are happy flowers and you are a happy dog and we love you no matter what background you're in
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You look great in purple, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a carpet of crocuses or a chorus of croci! Here, in SE USA, daffodils abound.
ReplyDeleteDearest Nobby there is always room for and tons of enjoyment when seeing every dog pose amongst the crocuses.
ReplyDeleteI bet if Gail looked back to former poses she will find your 3 first poses EXCELLNENT and OMDs that WFT flight across the field is award winning.

What a treasure you found with that field of purple crocuses. You look so regal sitting among them, Nobby.
ReplyDeletePosing in spring flowers is always fresh, just as spring itself is a refresher every year. You didn't happen to squash any while you were bounding about did you? Your portraits make our crocus offering look decidedly Spartan. Paw smacks Mr T

You have a good argument Nobby, and look quite handsome in the field of beautiful crocuses!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

You are beautifully carrying on a fine family tradition.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVED seeing you Nobby, and all those very springlike crocuses...so there IS hope that we too might get spring??
ReplyDeleteSo pretty we love the early Spring flowers xxx
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you shared you crocuses. We thought you were more North like us, and we can assure you there is nothing growing under the cold and snow. -26C keeps things asleep. Frozen dogs Lee and Phod
