SO MANY GORGEOUS PHOTOS! I love all the doggie pics! Bella definitely does NOT want to be shipped away from her humans and her Cy-brother! Darji gets that same worried look when I take off her collar, which is usually for a bath, so it's the "Oh shit I'm going to have a bath" look as well as the "don't get rid of me, Mom, I like it here - put my collar back on me."

THE IRISES GODS. Those are all so beautiful! My sister and aunt (pretty much my sister) planted so many irises at our aunt's place, mostly in the backyard, and I took so many photos of those. They got thicker and thicker every year.
