There be dragons and other beasts

Fellow blogger, Gweneth Rixon, shared some dragon photos on her blog. I like them, and wanted to give you a chance to see them too. How many people do you know with concrete dragons gracing their property? These are in Wales, UK.

Dragon!

We are in Wales, so....



There are dragons on the gateposts where we are staying!

--------------------------

I love these little dragons... babies to my mind, but quite capable of burping flames I'm sure!


And my beast contribution is from Susan Seddon Boulet, artist of many fantastical creatures.

"Cockatrice" (1980)
--Picture in: 1991 Bestiary Postcards
--Published in: Engagement Calendar 1993 (A Bestiary, as "Cockatrice", with Michael's text: "The Cockatrice was capable of killing a person with a single glance from its glowing eyes. A winged beast with the body of a cock or wyvern (dragon) and always the tail of a wyvern, it was so poisonous that its habitat became the first desert.")

  3. I wouldn't describe those dragons as 'gracing' anything. 😎
