It was on the logo of one of the institutions I used to be involved with. We had several goes at getting the image right because looked uncannily like the Simpsons' dog Santa's Little Helper in extreme close up.<br /><br />Am thoroughly enjoying your adventures.Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063904446757916981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-91643634436291093722009-12-03T00:39:44.055-05:002009-12-03T00:39:44.055-05:00Love those sea dragons!

We'll check it out the next time we venture south.<br /><br />Snow? I admit I am NOT missing it. In fact, Lisa, I'm getting worried that I'm going to be really grumpy when I have to go back to cold...<br /><br />Jennifer... perhaps a sea dragon is just a small version of Nessie?<br /><br />Karine... the irony didn't escape me, either. Hope the show goes well... it's Friday, isn't it?<br /><br />Wendy... argh! I'm jonesin' to get a lino started, but so far it's not in the cards here. I did bring a block, and we still have a week and a half to go, so mayyyybeee....Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-9834282144783567462009-12-02T16:10:42.915-05:002009-12-02T16:10:42.915-05:00I am so enjoying your trip.

They are rather architectural if you are thinking architectural in the sense of something that could be trained into a hedge around the sleeping princess's castle in order to keep the evil witches out. Or some such! Glad you got to the aquarium on an uncrowded day and you saw at least some of the monarchs at the sanctuary.... It's cooler than anyone could imagine to see them roosting like clumps of dead leaves on the trees.<br /><br />Hugs from Richard and me, SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
