Zaratan

Zaratan

The Zaratan is a grandiose turtle and is notable for its impossible size. Zaratan shells are easily mistaken for small islands.

Okay not the best ending, but it is Z for crying outloud. 
I could have gone with Zee End.  YaY!!  But I didn't. 

From AnnaBelle to Zaratan's and every thing in between. It has been fun trying to find creatures from A-Z. Some I might use. Others-- probably not, but it has been interesting trying to find creatures with a specific letter.

Maybe I'm not alone...

You've all heard me whine about the HOA and how I have a bulls eye on my front door.  While I was walking Chester yesterday we went down a street that we generally don't use and I saw a house that had once had numbers but now only the 8 shows.

I thought, "Soooo when they said they wanted a number, they didn't care what number, just pick one. Damn why hadn't I thought of that."

But wait... they very next house had done much the same as I had and just printed their house number on a paper and stuck it to the window.  However, their numbers were not as sarcastic as mine. AND they didn't use the lovely blue tape. 

It's good to know that I'm not the only one in the neighborhood they are keeping an eye on. 

Yuki-Onna

Yuki -Onna appears as a woman with long hair and white skin, a spirit of someone who perished in the snow.

Yuki-Onna appear on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape. Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened.
