True Colours Thursday - VIOLET & Little Buddy!

Well, thankfully Mother landed safely back from Las Vegas yesterday.
I must admit, I was pleased to see her, even though, she appears to be far from happy about being home.
She seems to be suffering from the international flyer's disease called jet-lag & a peculiarity of her own, called missing Little Buddyitus!
I been giving her lots of comforting hugs, which has meant my mohair's got tear wet in return - Mmm!

So, with all this going on, I feared I would not have the opportunity to participate in True Colours, as Mother seemed un-inclined to help me take new photographs.
I therefore, have had to be resourceful and look in her Las Vegas portfolio.
Fortunately, she missed this shot of VIOLET Pansies out on her own post about Bellagio's Conservatory...

And, as I like to use today, to personally introduce my colourful Hug members individually to you all, I am going to sneak in too, an old snapshot found in the Bear Photographic Archives of non-VIOLET Little Buddy, with as small framed mid 1980's picture of the gentleman he's named after ...Mother says both are equally cuddlesome!
He, LB bear was given to her by her cousin Headmistress, whilst on a Prairieland vacation; he was to comfort her, after Little Budddy, the love interest had left the farm to return to his wife!
Hugs,
