My Review of Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon

Dreamworks Studios’ 2010 animated film How to Train Your Dragon is a classic tale of a boy who doesn’t quite fit into society. Hiccup is a resourceful and intelligent teenager — but unfortunately, his bookishness and slightness of build are a constant source of mockery among his agemates.

His village is in constant conflict against dragons of every stripe and shape, with losses suffered by both sides. Big, boisterous Gobber (voiced by Craig Ferguson), a double amputee with peg leg and hook hand, doesn’t let his missing appendages get in the way of him teaching the village youth how to defend themselves against, and kill, dragons. 

Macro Monday: Lava Rocks

You won’t find them inside a lava lamp, but these porous rocks are an artistic and colourful addendum to the garden. I thought they were exclusively red coloured, but this closeup proves me wrong.
