AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Cloudia said...

Ah, we dragon fanciers are a world-wide breed! Here in Hawaii they were called "Mo`o" (moe-oh). Today they keep a low profile so as not to scare the visitors.
Aloha and thanks for your visits to my Waikiki blog, Gemma

I'm with Cloudia! We're "dragon fanciers" here too! :-)

He casts a great shadow!

Can you imagine, back in the day, sailors on the open sea seeing such strange creatures and having no clue what they were, simply calling them dragons...good thing they didn't have Sci-fi movies...it would've scared the crap out of them and they would've stayed home...maybe staying out of everyone else's business...ya think...naaaa...too greedy for that scenario.

Have a wonderful week ahead...and I'll enjoy my Sunday, playing in the sun and the weeds!

Big hugs friend!

that old dragon has a great place spot to rest

Hey Harriet said...

That dragon looks quite happy to be slithering (do dragons even slither?) around on your deck. I sure hope he doesn't frighten your feathered friends away. I'm sure he doesn't. He looks like a freindly enough dragon. Great Shot! Have a super week Gemma. I'm guessing it's getting a bit chilly now where you live. Bit crispy is Brissy. Brrr! And it's not even winter yet and I'm moaning ;D

You always have something interesting to show and this is great. Does it chase away the bad guys? Happy SSS!

I love your dragon shadow shot, well done!

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

Your dragon seems to be content with it's new spot! Of course, any sunny spot would be a great place for a dragon - wouldn't it?

Lisa's RetroStyle said...

Love your Mr Dragon. Probably makes a good watch dog too. Certainly makes a great shadow shot.

Your home is filled with luch (asian way) that you have a dragon in your home.
