For this lunar new year, today the rabbit hops away and the dragon flies in, as it does every 12 years.  I am a dragon (born in 1940, 7 cycles ago), so for new year I have installed a cute stuffed dragon by my work space. Here’s Sandra Boynton’s celebratory artwork for the occasion (passed on to me by Chris Ambidge), with more cute dragons:

Gung hei fat choi / Gong xi fa cai

The full cycle: 1 rat, 2 ox, 3 tiger, 4 rabbit, 5 dragon, 6 snake / serpent, 7 horse, 8 goat, 9 monkey, 10 rooster, 11 dog, 12 pig
