What do YOU want to see?

Since I am soon to be "unencumbered by employment" (thanks Kenny!), my first photo study is going to be Tom Sawyer's Island.

It's been years since I've been on the island and I thought it would be a good use of my time to spend an entire day there, documenting everything I see through my lens.  OK, that plan is set but what do I do after that? I was getting my brain all twisted up in knots...That's when it occurred to me to ask you, my faithful readers, for recommendations of what you want to see through my camera lens! 

What are you waiting for? Tell me!

Oooh! One more thing. You knew there'd be one more thing...
I HAVE to check this out!  Fiesta is this weekend at Disneyland!  When I was a kid, I always wanted to grow up and be the first female Mariachi - my parents thought I was nuts - Mariachis are all male. Not any more, baby! Woohoo, click on THIS! 
(As my niece would say, my Mexican is showing, LOL)

Connie - I rarely go to Critter Country. Maybe YOU can find something interesting there that I've missed that might be a reason to visit!

Connie, look forward to the island look.

I would like to see a good look at the New Orleans Square/Frontierland RR Station area. There is a calmness and beauty over there that is unique.

What I love are funky details that people can walk past a hundred times and not notice. They turn up all over the park. The questions is always, "How do YOU see things in ways that others don't?"

We've all seen a million dead-centered image of the Castle from the hub in broad daylight. (Zzzzzzz) But there are an infinite number other ways to depict the same building.

BTW, I'm about as non-Mexican as they come, but I love Mariachi music. Eating carne asada at a BBQ while listening to a live band is one of the great California experiences.

It's going to be great seeing your photos os TSI; not sure you can spend a whole day there, but maybe you'll prove me wrong!

I think Thufer's suggestion sounds pretty good. Maybe do all of the train stations!

Connie, of course I'd like to see anything Snow White. But in particular...store window displays, figurines in shops, banners and signs throughout the park, and just about anything else SW you may discover.

Have fun!

Someone told me that New Orleans Square has some new Mardi Gras type of decorations. While I would rather see this area NOT cluttered up with such stuff, I still wouldn't mind seeing what it is they put over there.

When are you going? Have fun!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted

Getting back into the swing of things...

It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee
