I just sent this to CH's BF (I had a feeling he would like it), and he
says that he LOVES dragons.
So, now I'm on a mission to find all there is of dragon lore and
pictures. Thanks for starting and contributing to my quest. :-)
Take care,
Y Not
PS.
He and CH already have all the space pics I could give them. :-)
