wintery intermezzo


We had a lot of snow (by Dutch standards) this past two weeks. I had shoveled all the snow in the backyard into one big heap and it kind of looked like a dragon.
So when I had the time, I took one of the kitchen knives and started carving.
I was very happy with the result. (Painted it's Eye light blue). Now after two days of thawing it has been reduced to a shapeless lump. Alas my dragons are not built to last.
It did give me a clear idea of how big Yoris will be, as Yoris would be about twice the size of this rather large dragon. My son Tim (5) without any knowledge of English gave the best possible description of this dragon: "Cool!"
