Happy Lunar New Year 2024

We are babies, we are posing with a DRAGON!

What Dragon? Why Dragon?
Today is the Lunar New Year, it is the first day of
The Year of the Dragon!
This is a golden dragon created by using the technique of calligraphy.  This artistic expression is symbolic of a dragon flying freely on cloud nine.

Northern California Angora Guild wishes everyone a great 

Year of the Dragon 2024.
