acmespaceshipIf you had a tavern and it needed a name, then The Duck and Turtle is not an unreasonable choice. In which case, while circumnavigating Herrick Lake today, I captured the source image for the painting on your tavern sign:
No gentleman mallard was in sight, which makes me wonder about this relationship. After the cut, a photo of a dragon and a photo of a real prince. This obsolete pocket camera with the 20x optical zoom sure is fun.

The Dragon is one of several species of Meadowhawks, but without seeing the "face" you can't be sure which.
I can only identify frogs reliably by sound.
Yeah, there are nice benefits to more advanced cameras, but you can do a lot with an obsolete pocket cameras, since that was what I was using before this February.
