My favourite fountain in Rome - in a city with quite a few of them - is this little thing. It is a dragon spouting water (which is drinkable, by the way). The fountain, which is actually one of a pair, is so small it does not even have a real name of its own, but the set is known as the "Fontanelle dei Palazzo Penitenzieri", that is "the small Palace Pentizenieri fountains". The palace (close to St Peter's) is a Renaissance palace where work began in the late 15th century, but the fountain is the heraldic emblem of Pope Paul V (born Camillo Borghese) who ruled the Papal state 1605-1621, so I think it is very safe to assume that the fountain also dates to this time too.
The upwelling of a lava flow created these plates called "dragon's teeth" all along the north rim of the peninsula at Makaluapuna Point, Maui, Hawaii. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz filters.
Dragon’s Teeth was formed as a result of one of the last lava flows from West Maui Volcano thousands of years ago. The lava flow met the intense ocean waves and strong sea winds causing it to jut upwards, cool, and harden, creating the jagged black rock appearance.
“Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.”
― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms

Die Libellen zeichnen sich durch einen außergewöhnlichen Flugapparat aus. Die Fähigkeit, ihre beiden Flügelpaare auch unabhängig voneinander zu bewegen, ermöglicht es ihnen, abrupte Richtungswechsel zu vollziehen, in der Luft stehen zu bleiben oder bei einigen Arten sogar rückwärts zu fliegen. Beim Flug werden Maximalgeschwindigkeiten von 50 km/h erreicht. Die Frequenz des Flügelschlages ist dabei mit etwa 30 Schlägen pro Sekunde relativ langsam.
The Dragon Shrimp (Miropandalus hardingi) usually lives on whip corals. It has large tooth like spines along the center of its back.
I really need to catch up on Game of Thrones :'D

Dragon on Tudor Royal arms in King's College Chapel, Cambridge.
King's Chapel is festooned with the Royal arms of Henry VII and Henry VIII. Their message proclaiming Tudor majesty and power could never be overlooked.
The arm's two beast supporters are a dragon at left and a greyhound at right. The dragon, the traditional Welsh dragon, was used on Henry Tudor, later King Henry VII's, banner. It was notably displayed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 where the Yorkist Richard III was defeated and killed.

We have a new sofa. In fact it's not really new, it belonged to my parents and they don't need it anymore and so I decided to put it into my bedroom as a kind of king-size cat bed. I think it's safe to say that the new piece of furniture has been an instant success with the Dragon. :)

"I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in my neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir [a dragon] was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories
There are many cute things about the Dragon and one part that is underrespresented on my photostream are his paws, so I thought I should take a photo of them when he sat on a shelf and showed them so nicely. :)
I originally took this photo for the Happy Caturday group theme 'Profile View' yesterday but then chose the photo of Filou as I hadn't posted any capture of Filou on the group yet. As it's too dark for new cat photos today, the Dragon and his profile get a second chance.

Once again I wish I hadn't been so slapdash, and wish I had got my dragons in focus. Sometimes I just don't think! A wonderfully atmospheric time in the woods below Hen Cloud, The Roaches. Goblins in the mist!
This is the famous Dragon Bridge over the Hàn River in Da Nang (Danang), Vietnam. You can see that the river is near flood stage due to a period of heavy rain after the end of the rainy season.
Da Nang or Danang (Vietnamese: Đà Nẵng, Vietnamese pronunciation: [ɗaː˨˩ n̪a˧˥ˀŋ]) is the fifth-largest city in Vietnam by municipal population. It lies on the coast of the South China Sea of Vietnam at the mouth of the Hàn River, and is one of Vietnam's most important port cities.
—from Wikipedia
A pitaya (/pɪˈtaɪ.ə/) or pitahaya (/ˌpɪtəˈhaɪ.ə/) is the fruit of several different cactus species indigenous to the Americas. Pitaya usually refers to fruit of the genus Stenocereus, while pitahaya or dragon fruit refers to fruit of the genus Selenicereus (formerly Hylocereus), both in the family Cactaceae. Dragon fruit is cultivated in Peru, Mexico, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, the United States, the Caribbean, Australia, Mesoamerica and throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
