Moving in Together
My sister and I were working on Winston's second Photo Album. The first one left off with him meeting Saphira and them becoming a couple. Since that book was released, the two of them have set up a home together and have become parents. Then as a family they have gone on several trips and adventures. As we were working on the follow up album, it was getting way too big, so we decided to divide it into two volumes - the first covering the dragon's home life, and the second one becoming a trip and adventure album.
The first of the two new photo albums needed to start with the two dragons moving in together, and I never took any photos of that. So I've had to go back and address that oversight. I also need to take a set of photos for the end of the second book, and then another series for the beginning of the third. So I thought the best place to put all the new photos was in a separate website album...

Moving Day
At the end of the first album, the two dragons both already had homes of their own, but when they became a couple, they decided they needed someplace new that would be their's together. They found a large, abandoned, storage cellar under an old ruined castle. It seemed like the perfect place, so they started the cumbersome task of hauling all their possessions. They piled Winston's cart high with as much as would fit...
And off they went...
Saphira went behind, carrying her prized candelabra and war banners....
"Stop!" she yelled. "Something's fallen off!"
Winston sighed. Moving was turning out to be a lot harder than he had expected.
And he picked up the fallen crate...
While he was at it, he thought he better check the rest of the load....
"Maybe we shouldn't have tried to take so much at once." commented Saphira.
"Nonsense!" replied Winston, "It will be fine. I'd like to get all our stuff moved in as few trips as possible."
And he picked up the cart...
...and off they went again...
Moving In
It took several trips for Winston and Saphira to get all their belongings to their new lair....
Being an important member of the Elfin army, Saphira had quite a collection of military trophies...
Winston thought he'd better let Saphira decide where exactly she wanted to display them...
...but she was busy making their bed...
...so he thought he'd better just unpack and put away the dishes....
She was finally finished....
...and as soon as Winston was done putting his pots and dishes away, they could tackle all of Saphira's army memorabilia....
Home, Sweet Home
The dragons were finally ready to do their final decorating....
Saphira knew exactly where she wanted her banner hung
"What do you think?"
"Just a touch more to the left."
"Where do you want this?"
"Up above the fireplace, please."
When they were done, Winston stepped out for a few minutes, and returned with a bouquet of flowers....
"These are for you. It's a small house warming gift."
"Thank you!"
She put the flowers in some water, and hugged him...
..as they stood admiring the new home they had made together....
