Happy Year of the Water Dragon!

To [livejournal.com profile] kosaginolegion in particular; as a Taoist, your big religious winter holiday foofaraw occurs at least a month after most of the others; I wish you health, prosperity, the favorable attention of publishers, and scallion cakes. (And today's sneak preview of an April wind and thunderstorm barrage seems to have gone overboard in underscring the symbolism.)

Some thematic images befitting the occasion:

Bending The Water Dragon by PeridotKitty.

Shiryu by Alfatico.

Water Dragon by Tiantian1008.

Year of the Dragon 2012 by Vijfentachtig.

And the real live Chinese Water Dragons who live under the care of one Tricia at BambooZoo.

Thank you both. It was a quiet day for the Babbit, as our family will be having the celebration dinner next weekend. Mum doesn't cook for this anymore, but I know Tsao's will more than suffice.

Mmmm. Ground-bean flounder.
