well, the streets were actually empty because of how early we were there. ADR for Crystal Palace!!! The palm tree is in the Living with the Land.

Wow, I was really thrown with that one. I totally thought it was Spaceship Earth!

It's been too long since I contributed here (since my Flickr account expired and I have yet to renew), I managed to find one I sent to my Facebook from my phone. This was during the soft opening for The Little Mermaid ride at DCA.

Cool! I love the sun-rays peeking in over the top of the attraction

I agree, it's a good shot with the sun rays. Reminds of the scene from the film with her on the rock singing...

Or even the old show that puts you under the sea with mist and lasers.

Here are some more pics!!! ENjoy!!!
This one is from the F&G festival this year promoting the African Cats movie...



For this next one I had to do it in its original size to be appreciated...

[Amy]

Wow! I really need to make the effort to get there during the flower and garden festival I guess. Beautiful photos! One of my favorite flowers are snapdragons so those were awesome to see ~ and Mr. Butterfly having a drink is pretty darned cool Was that in the butterfly house?

Out of curiosity: was the african cats sand display covered? What would have happened if it had rained?

[elizabethswann]

Oh wow, those are incredible photos! The butterfly one is magnificent.

The African Cats was not covered. My guess its, if ti was they would have put something over it. They did have large umbrellas over the guys building it. It was actually incomplete while we were there. During the time it was being built is a very dry season in Florida as well. Up until the past 3 weeks we have had very little rain for 6 months.

Isn't it almost the season for the daily afternoon cloudbursts though?!
Did you notice any signage explaining how they get the sand to stay so nicely compacted for them to sculpt it?

[mindflipper]

Couldn't do it now - we've been having rain for today and the last 2 days (still not enough to make up for earlier dry spell)...

[yodiwan1]

I am about 3 1/2 hours south of WDW, and W have had rain every day this week!!!

[mindflipper]

And, yodiwan1, I think there's still more rain to come...

yodiwan, I am in complete awe of your butterfly picture. I love butterflies and they hold special meaning to me. The photographer in me has longed to take such an exquisite picture! (I have even tried to get some pics of bees in the flowers to no avail)

I'm not knocking the other pictures as they were a amazing, but the butterfly picture takes the cake for me.
