The Falls

I live in a run-down factory town which was built on the shores of a major river.  (By the way, anyone else hearing what I’m hearing in my head?  “I was boooorn by the river…”

But I digress….anyway, the river falls were running violently when we left for Disney.  I scolded Zan for not telling me (he drives by there on the way to work everyday.)  “Don’t you know what a valuable photographic opportunity I might have missed!”  He rolled his eyes at me and told me to get the photo when we got back.  Well, did I remember?  No. 

I finally thought of it yesterday before running out for errands, and brought along my trusty Nikon, crossing my fingers that they were still crashing.  No such luck.  😦  The falls were still running…but merely a trickle compared with the violent overflow from a few weeks ago.  However, I took some photos anyway, and I share them with you today. 

This afternoon I will be off to visit a friend in a beloved nearby town…(in fact, Zan and I lived there for the first five and a half years of our marriage.)  Hopefully I’ll have some photos of our mini escape to share with you tomorrow.

Flora, Fauna, and Merry-weather…

We were fortunate enough to visit Disney during the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.  (Zan would say we were UN-fortunate, because I went all-out-camera-crazy that day.)  The gardens and displays are magnificent, and the scent of the roses are all-encompassing.  Lovely.

I also took a “whole lotta” flower and animal photos over at Animal Kingdom.  It was a treat to visit there on a 67 degree day, as I had the energy to look around.  Anytime I’ve been there previously it’s been in the 90’s and swelteringly jungle-like.

So enjoy a few of my favorites, and check out flickr if you want to see more.  😉
