Their big love scene could take place somewhere like this...

For magic to happen.
Love it! And dragons do make the best trusted companions :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great post (and thanks for being my guest yesterday--readers of our blogs were treated to 2 picto-blogs in one day.)
ReplyDeleteJemi; They really, really do. Dragons for everyone!
ReplyDeleteTerry; It was my pleasure.
... and that is why creating your OWN stories is even better than reading someone elses :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding us of all the possibilities we have.
Oh yeah. Writing and reading can take us to all those places.
ReplyDeleteElspeth - You have such a good point! Opening up our minds to all the possibilities lets us really create more vibrant stories. Dorte is right; creating one's own stories lets one go wherever the story takes one...
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with words, oh I mean photos. Great post.

Thoughts in Progress
Your picto-blogs are like taking miniature fantasy vacations.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the learning break.

Dorte; I don't know if I prefer my own or others - I just love the journeys.
ReplyDeleteCarol; No passport required!
Margot; There is something exciting about setting your own course out into the unknown (she says as she channels Captain Kirk...)
Mason; Thank you! Let's hope just my words will be enough for the publishing world.
Mary; What a lovely thing to say - thank you!
Lovely post. Dragons, swords... do people leave home without them? ;)
ReplyDeleteKimberley; You make a good point. They really, really shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah for the dragon. And great post, as always.
