Backyard and Beyond

A rose gall.The Black Raven, a bit redundant.
Slow down, there are cats here. Pike, innit?Four dragon tails curl into the spire at the old stock exchange in Copenhagen. Another Danish dragon.Another mythological Dane, Den Lille Havfrue. She was splashed with red paint earlier this year to protest whale and dolphin killing by Faroe islanders. She’s also been beheaded twice, blown-up once, and amputated (an arm), too, in various pranks and protests over the years. Did I say “mythological”? I meant “melancholy.”
