The dragon welcomes you to spring.
In case you're confused, you can visit an earlier manifestation of the dragon, who lives down the street from me.

In case you're confused, you can visit an earlier manifestation of the dragon, who lives down the street from me.
About Me
- Name: Dr. S
- Location: Gambier, Ohio, United States
Annie Dillard could have been writing about me when she said (of herself), "I like the slants of light; I'm a collector." Or Willem de Kooning: "I'm like a slipping glimpser." And don't forget Brenda Ueland: "I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten--happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." But the Beastie Boys might have said it best: "When it comes to panache, I can't be beat." There's a reason I wear a ring that says Badass.
Back
- I never liked these statues much.
- Trees I have loved.
- Yesterday's answer key.
- What can any artist set on fire but her world?
- How it is that things intervene.
- I am dazzled in days and lost.
- I cross the street; I see God.
- Twinkle gaspingly, like fiery fish out of water.
- Here's an easy one.
- Or I guess the grass is itself a child.

Yes, they will be daffodils. I will take another Monday picture of him when they bloom. With any luck, it will be on the Monday when I'll just have come back from a long trip out of town and will be crazy-busy once again. What's funny to me is to look back at the January picture and see how barren his little stone enclosure is. A friend has suggested that I should photograph the dragon at each major turn of the year; I know I won't be able to wait until the solstice for the next image, though.
I do wish I'd gotten a picture of him in the snow, back in the winter. Of course, with the storm that's on its way in right now, I will get my wish later on today, I'd bet. And dragon + snow + daffodils? Hott.
