Petrov is having a leisurely float. Floating is about all he can do since he is almost as large as the lake he calls home.
I got him to agree to a closeup for you all.

Great idea. I never saw a dragon like that before, but considered getting an alligator for my pond!

Ohh that is too too cute, Toni! That would look so good on the shallows of the fjørd. Give the guests something to talk about.
Your bridge is very well made. Are you going to put any plants on it also or just leave alone.

Good Idea Biita, hadn't even thought about a plant. But a Dragon Wing Begonia would be perfect there.

Awww, he's adorable! And he looks so comfy in there I'd like to hop in and float with him.

I love Petrov Toni!!! He certainly looks like a very happy dragon. The bridge is fantastic!!! I like the idea of a dragon wing begonia or tow planted around your pond.

With the way it feels outside right now, he's in the right place. Wish I had a pool to jump into! Love your bridge. Where will you put it?

What is that that you are using as the water it is ingenious. Your dargon brought a broad smile to my face. You, i'm sure are as just as laid back as your dragon. Enjoy nature and enjoy life.

A few years ago the lady next door put some glass shelves out for trash pickup. The supports were all bent up but the glass shelves were in perfect shape so I did some curb shopping after she went to work.
I painted the underside with blue paint then glued the Dragon to the top of the glass and the polished river stones around the edges. He has been leaning on a wall in my craft room for a couple of years waiting for me to find a bridge that fit over him and figure out where he should be.
He is in the new bed area in front of the red bench.

I love the creativeness of that painted glass. I hope to do some thinking out of the box because those touches are priceless. Thanks for sharing the tip.

I love it a dozen times over! You need a little Dragon's Blood Sedum tucked in nearby...

Toni, i was thinking, if that is glass you might need something to protect it from debrie that flies around down there during storms. I thought of that clear silicone caulking, just a thin layer so things will bounce and not break it. But maybe you have something already planned. I sure would hate to see that ruined by the southern storms. even the wind storms.
