Disneyland 5-16-10

As usual, my obligatory shot of the Main Street Station so I can see what time I arrived, LOL.

Sitting on the porch of City Hall, watching the "towns people"...

Sorry this is so dark but I was VERY surprised to see FOUR trasnportation vehicles on Main Street at the same time. You know what that means: CROWDS!

My friends and I decide to have lunch at the Carnation Cafe, which is one of my favorite places to eat at Disneyland.

Something about all of these umbrellas appealed to me.

Patiently waiting for my lunch. The smile belies the starving, snarling, growling bear of hunger I am hiding like the true lady that I am, LOL!



I had already devoured 1/4 of the sandwich before I realized
I had not taken a picture of my lunch.

After lunch, we strolled over to Frontierland and while my friends shopped,
I watched the band.

Let's go ride the Columbia!

We got there just as the ship was leaving so we waited for the next voyage.
Meanwhile...we watch the canoes...

Oh, here she comes!

Riding along and taking shots over people's heads...

As you can see, there was quite a crowd.




Here we see a close-up of the Gullywhomper. Not bad, considering I stuck my
hand over someone's shoulder and took an "estimated view" shot
without looking at my LCD screen!











Mike Finn's cabin...













A couple of Indian Scouts!














The village looks very fresh and updated...












After that we had a powerful thirst so we popped into the Golden Horseshoe for a soda and to our surprise, got entertained by Billy Hill and the Hillbilies!

Connie,
What an amazing set of pictures. Several when into my 'desktop' rotation. The umbrellas' was very interesting. That is a nice capture with amazing depth. Good stuff.
Isn't working around heads a hoot?
(lol)
Good to see the new RIVERS, and the water coloring is just beautiful.

Wonderful pictures Connie; but no potato soup at the Cafe? That's a sin!

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...

Image
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

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...
