When Ed posted about this challenge, I figured I’d just skip it as it seemed too challenging and even boring. I mean, I look at money every day. Nothing new there, right?
But in the end I decided to accept the challenge, especially when an idea popped into my head as my kidlets and I were exploring the Rio Grande Botanical Gardens last week.
What does the dragon in the Children’s Fantasy Garden have to do with currency, you ask? Hang on! You’ll soon find out.
Hmmmm, what’s this?
What is my daughter doing with that crank?
Aha! Our Penny……….our Currency………....has been converted……...Dragon-Style!
Check out Sunday Stills to see how others from around the globe have handled this challenge.

Yes, I know I posted this two days early. For good reason, though, ‘cause I’m heading out of town. Wanna know where? I’ll give you just one hint. Well, ok. Just one more.
Whoohoo!

Yes indeed very clever. I don't think you know how to do a boring post. And the music perfect! One of my favorites.
It looks as if you're going to be in Reno, Nevada watching Clinton Anderson. Betty and I went to his clinic in Farminton three years ago and really enjoyed it. He's a good showman as well as a good trainer.

We were on the same page! Nice one Lisa...enjoy the C.A. clinic (well that's my guess anyhow)
Very cool dragon coin! Looks like the kiddos had fun. I am familiar with your Down Under instructor, as I do the graphics for his competitor, Dan Keen Horsemanship here in Texas.
what fun! Have a good time at the clinic, did you take a horse?
Very good coin shot. And I love how you pick out theme music for these posts!
I have no idea who Clinton Anderson is, so there is no point in saying how jealous I am. But I hope it is everything and more that you hope it to be.
Great take on the currency challenge! I love dragons!
