Tom Sawyer's Island Part 4

I have to tell you, I LOVED wandering around this island. I recommend it to everyone. It is simply beautiful and tranquil and a great place to hang out!



Does anyone know if W. Turner was a real person or a character in a novel?


I was disappointed to see a large net stretched across the area that was once open - I guess today's guests are morons who can't keep their hands off of something that is not theirs. Oh ya, remember the tree that was a carved up?? Well I stuck my lens through the netting to take these next photos.




Pretty cool even if I do say so myself!



Now we're back outside...



...and to my right I see a giant anchor.


I continue on towards the very front of the island...



...and stop to admire the mill's wheel...



I know these are a necessary evil for Fantasmic but they are an eyesore.


Looking back....


Looking forward, LOL!




Rounding the bend...


This area is so blah.


Another elevator I didn't know existed.


Let's check out this building, shall we?


The first thing that caught my eye was this lovely lady. I'm surprise no one has complained about her "provocative" pose!


Oh my, look at all of these dangerous weapons!



I kinda giggled when I saw the Matterhorn.


Oh, I wonder where these go?


Looking towards the mill...


Nice view of the River Belle.


I wonder if people ever bring their own checkers?


Nothing more to see so let's head on down the stairs...


...and look up when we get to the bottom.


That water tower sure looks OLD, doesn't it?


Now I'm back where I started! Tomorrow we explore some caves!

W. Turner is Will Turner. Orlando Bloom from Pirates of the Caribbean. Another annoying reference to that movie. Grr...

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...
