Horse or dragon?

Photographed this log fence on the edge of Funks Grove in Central Il.
I noticed that one log has what could be taken for an ear, eye, nose and mouth. But, I can't decide if it is a horse or dragon!

It's a rare and elusive Prairie Dragon. They are a small breed, often resembling limbs or small logs and quite friendly to humans. Pioneer women often kept them in they're kitchens for good luck. (Hence their common name of Kitchen Dragon) I have one myself. Fun shot.

OK, let's quit horsing around. It's obviously a dragon.

You might consider cropping the board and snow next to the tree on the right. Nice detail in the snow.
