Snake Year

Lion Mask

Rose thinks the old Lion Mask is amazing, if a bit scary.

Snake.

The snake is a different kind of fierce.

Kung Hei Fat Choi

Snake, meet Lion – Lion, meet Snake.

Happy Lunar New Year from the Quimper Hittys.

That is kind of scary – but I see Rose is very brave – after all, it is the Lunar New Year and we wish the Quimper Hittys many happy adventures.

I think that Rose must know she is indigestible to both lions and snakes – what else would explain her calm demeanour in such close proximity to mouths much bigger than she is?
That jacket and the blue sleeves and trousers suits her colouring perfectly.

  Rose hadn’t thought about digestibility, but she examined the teeth and gullets closely before she got too close. She likes the way her new clothes bring out the highlights in her beautiful blue eyes.

Rose’s costume is just gorgeous! Was last year a Lion Year? Is the Snake chasing away the Lion?

  Last year was the Dragon year! The ceremonial dance is done with a Lion Mask at New Year.

  We’ll try, though water is complicated.

    Indeed. I always feel that; flowing at times, hard at others, life giving AND destructive… It’s a hard act to emulate.

I have found this post and the comments by all to be rather profound. Fabulous!
