The seven sisters are often a topic of Australian Indigenous art. This is “Seven Sisters Dreaming” by Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi (personal collection).
Seven Sisters - Australian Indigenous desert dot style painting. Mostly red swirls with starfield background. Significant stars are shown as concentric circles of dots with one central dot. Seven yellow (three circles) and four red (four circles) stars. Swirls of light blue dots join and circle the stars and lead off the painting top and right edges.

Sat on my coworker's workbench because he has a wash light pointing down on it and I was cold and he called me a Beardless Dragon.

Cotter Force is a beautiful and relatively secluded waterfall in the Upper Wensleydale, just a couple of miles outside of Hawes. It is one of the most accessible waterfalls in the Dales.

A black and white lizard is walking in fallen leaves among a few green plants. It has a high number of white scales. This gives them a spotted appearance. On the throat, belly and on the underside of the tail, these white scales are so numerous and so close together that they form white bands. The lizard is looking to the left in the picture.

Look at this reptile, not scared at all ! He was hanging out at the Chinese friendship garden. I would be concerned about possibility of becoming part of some soup 🍲 🤔 😅
