This is a post I started a couple of years ago…
<begin draft post>
I try to walk a daily mile. The goal is to do this without stopping to smell the roses so that I can keep the blood pumping. But it rarely works out as planned because there are always things to look closer at. Or excellent pigment rocks to collect. In this case it was a Creek Dragon!
The other day my entire walk ended when I found the coolest fossil I’ve ever found out here.
And always I see rocks I think I need to have, because the colors are so incredibly rich in the damp morning dew.
But today I started out with the mantra in my mind, and I was doing good. “No stopping for rocks. No rocks today.”
And then I saw the Creek Dragon.
<end of original post draft>!!!!!
What the hell is a creek dragon?
Gosh, I sure wish I knew. I started this post 2 years ago. I cannot remember a whisp of what it was. While trying to think of a post to write about today, I browsed through my pending post files – these are topics I want to write about or posts I started and didn’t finish for whatever reason.
But I sure wish I had finished this one, lol. I, too, would like to know what a creek dragon is!
I don’t even have a photo to go with this post because I’m still going through photo files to see if I can find whatever it was that inspired the post in the first place. I’ll update if I find out!
In the meantime, let me hear your wildest ideas about what could possibly have sparked the idea for this post? Comment below!

I’m a nature-lover, real estate agent & artist. Sometimes, I also write things. I began using local pigments to paint scenes from nature in the Ozarks in 2018.
If you’re interested in buying or selling in rural northwest AR, get in touch with me by phone, text, or email. I’m happy to help! I have a separate website for my real estate blogging and information at WildOzarkLand.com.
All of my artwork is available in prints, and where originals are available, they are for sale. You can find all of that over at shop.WildOzark.com.
Call me “Roxann” or “Madison”, either one works.
For pretty much everything online, I go by Madison Woods, a pen name I adopted when I first began writing and then later with my art. For real estate, I use my real name, Roxann Riedel. And for my fiction, there’s yet another pen name: Ima Erthwitch.
Do you want to learn how to use your local rocks, soil, or clay to make paints?
