Moss - Fantasies... Best viewed with magnifier.

Look closely or you may miss a little fantasy in action here...

Merlin: "What are you afraid of?"

Arthur: "I don't know."

Merlin: "Shall I tell you what's out there?"

Arthur: "Yes, please."

Merlin: "The Dragon... A beast of such power... that if you were to see it whole and complete in a single glance... it would burn you to cinders."

Arthur: "Where is it?"

Merlin: "It is everywhere. It is everything. Its scales glisten in the bark of trees. Its roar is heard in the wind. And its forked tongue strikes like... Like lightning. Yes, that's it.

Arthur: "How can I...? What shall I...? Must I...?"

Merlin: "Do nothing. Be still. Sleep. Rest in the arms of the Dragon. Dream."

I am apologizing in advance! I will begin to run behind with commenting on your pics, as I have to get started on some serious yard work that will take lots of time. However, I will catch up with you as best and as soon as I can.
