Welsh Dragon Nostril Hairs

For many years I've been on the trail of the legendary Welsh Dragons. In my spare time I've studied numerous reports of sightings of these fine, graceful creatures but alas each time I've visited a location of a confirmed sighting I'm always just too late however that was about to change. I was out walking in the local Welsh hills yesterday when I heard heavy snoring coming from behind some large granite rocks. This was no ordinary snore, no human has lungs that sound like that. As I carefully walked around the rocks there, fast asleep, was a Welsh Dragon, curled up with its head resting on a one of its front legs. I immediately thought of today's Macro Monday challenge so at great personel risk of being turned into a lump of charcoal I carefully inserted my camera lens into one nostril and took a photograph of the hairs inside. It was a bright sunny day so there was enough illumination to get the shot. It was obvious, when reviewing my capture here at home, that it had not long been flaming something as some of the hairs were glowing as they cooled.
