This is the "picture" I was referring to in the welcome post that turned me on to dragons. I fell in love with the picture so much that I decided to buy the (expensive !) kit.
See the dragon's ferocious expression, yet how the butterflies fearlessly float around her? Don't mess with me, and I won't mess with you, she says. But, mess with me...and you're toast
Throughout my (long) life, I've never thought much about dragons. But, the other day, I saw a photo of a dragon guarding a castle and I formed an immediate connection with that dragon. That's ME, I thought...I'm the dragon, guarding my castle and prepared to breath fire on anyone who crosses my moat. Mothers are very protective. Indeed, we are all dragons!
