Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is about the colours of orange and green. I wasn’t sure what to post for this, whether a carrot or a pumpkin, but when I went over to inspect hubby’s progress on our ‘abandoned house renovation‘, I saw the ideal subject.
Out in the back yard two of our neighbours were doing a bit of courting. There was Iggy, resplendent in his bright orange suit.
When he spied pretty little Igua peeping out from the reeds, he decided to turn on the charm, by puffing up his dewlap and waving it around.
She came for a closer inspection, to see whether or not she fancied him.
Unfortunately for Iggy, she didn’t seem that impressed, and after only a few seconds of scrutinising his handsome face, she turned her back and moved on.
Poor Iggy looked really miffed and called after her, “Hey, what’s up babe? Aren’t I good enough for you?” Then he muttered under his breath, ” Sheesh …… all that effort for nothing! Some women just don’t know when they’re lucky.”
I wish you all a peaceful and relaxing weekend.
Iggy, next time wear a tie clip!
๐ So funny!
LOL – Poor Iggy.
Ol’ Iggy may lack in the damsel department but I bet he gets trodden on a lot less than she …
Haha Yes, you’re probably right. He is rather more visible .
Well, a girl’s got to have standards, after all.
These are amazing pictures, and they should win a prize for the most creative response to the challenge.
Hahaha. Thanks, Sandra. Yes, you’re right about us girl. ๐
I like this fun side of blogging, Sylvia. ๐ A love story that got derailed in nature. Maybe the male color didn’t “suit” or pleases the other one.
Thanks, Robin. It’s always great to have a bit of fun on my blog. ๐
ma che vicini carinissimi che hai! e che bei nomignoli che hai dato loro! beh si sa le signore vogliono essere coccolate se fosse arrivato con una rosa fra le zampe forse chissร …
Oh, how funny you are, Annalisa. ๐ I’ll have to suggest the rose next time I see Iggy. xx
How cool!!!
Thanks so much, Shannon. ๐
Ahh poor Iggy…I hope soon ‘gets lucky’ ๐ Wonderful photos Sylvia, my daughter would love to have neighbours like these, just beautiful ๐ xx
Thanks, Sherri. I’m so fortunate to have such a variety of wildlife in my backyard. ๐ xx
How cool is that! Great capture AD:-)
Thanks, Cocoa. I was so lucky to capture the moment. ๐
This would freak me out! After I stopped acting silly I would enjoy it though!
Haha Yes, one wouldn’t want to get too close though. ๐
They both look gorgeous – amazing colors (very fitting for the challenge)
Thanks so much, Aian. I was lucky that they posed for me. ๐
