Whimsical Wednesday #54

Welcome back to Whimsical Wednesday!

The day for the googled giggle that gets you over the hump that is Wednesday and sliding down into the weekend.

Today is the last Whimsical day for 2012, Year Of The Dragon.

In honour of all Dragons everywhere, (me and my daughter K) I bring you >>>

Watermelon Dragons

Green Dragon


White Dragon


These food carvers are so very clever!

I love their work, so thank you, whoever did these.

    Beautiful! I would not want to eat them, but display them on a shelf. Unfortunately, they would not have the "shelf life" of Mona Lisa.

    Greetings River,

    I was thinking about writing one of my long-winded, drawn out, nonsensical ramblings. However, that might um 'dragon'...

    Those are just amazing carvings and something you could really sink your teeth into.

    Happy Boxing Day, my friend.

    Gary :)

    The White Dragon carving gets my vote.

    Cindi Clarke; they're better preserved in photo form.

    klahanie; I like your comments, even if they do "dragon".

    Windsmoke; it is a very good one.

    They are so beautiful and thanks for sharing. So you are a DRAGON eh? A gentle one me thinks. I have no idea what I am...probably a silly old goat.

    Joe; welcome to drifting. Yes, there are some wonderfully talented people out there.

    Mimsie; I don't think there is a year of the Goat. Google the Chinese horoscope to see what you are according to year of birth. My ex was a Rat.

    Pearl; they do make lovely centrepieces and great conversation starters too. I had a lovely christmas, thank you.

    elephant's Child; dragons are one of my favourite things. I had a dragon pendant on a chain once, but lost it somehow, somewhere.

    WOW, I can't believe someone carved this and it will spoil, right? And there goes your carving. Impressive.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
