Birds of Epcot

I’m very lucky in that I work in locations with photo opportunities.  On breaks sometimes I like to just take a walk around with my camera, and see what I find.  Here are a few photos of Juvenile House Sparrows taken around World Showcase at Epcot. 

Flower and Garden –Topiaries

The festival has been over about two weeks now, but I’ve taken a few days off work for my birthday and am finally getting a chance to post a few more photos.  One of the most interesting things to see during Flower and Garden  were the topiaries scattered throughout Epcot. Here are a few of my favorites, starting with the boss himself, Mickey Mouse.

Peter Pan is my absolute favorite Disney movie.  There is just something enticing about being able to fly, and getting to be a kid forever. 

Hakuna Matata! Have a wonderful day

 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Thanks for visiting

Flower and Garden Part 2–A Few More Details

Here are a few close up shots of the flowers I came across.  It was pretty windy out and I tried to get as close as I could with my lens, so focus isn’t as sharp as I’d like it to be. A Macro lens is definitely on my wish list.   

Thanks for stopping by!

Flower and Garden Part 1–Pop of Color

Epcot hosts the Flower and Garden Festival every year, and as many times as I’ve gone this is the first time I’ve taken the time to photograph some of the beautiful sights.  These are a few of the broad overview pictures I took, in Part 2 I’ll post close ups of individual flowers.  I love these shots because they are bright and full of color. 

And just for fun, a topiary of my pal Donald.

Christmas in Orlando Part 2

This is very late, but I wanted to share these photos, especially the ones of Little Bit.  I’ve been having a lot of trouble uploading to blogger.  Sorry!

I had a great time singing in EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional this year.  Music is very important to me, and singing combined with the large scale of any Disney production made it a great experience.

The choir has new risers now from the first time I participated back in 2010.  They look really nice, but now I stand at the top of the tree and the taller people are down close to the guest narrator.  I got to sing in the choir for performances by Whoopi Goldberg, James Denton, and Steven Curtis Chapman this year!

 

The Stage is beautifully decorated.

 

And the lighting effects are really neat.  It’s definitely a must see if you are ever at Disney during the Christmas season. 

Our Christmas tree was very small this year due to limited space, but I was happy with the way it turned out!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  I didn’t risk getting out in the craziness of Orlando/Disney for New Year’s Eve last night, but still had a great evening.  While the fireworks are amazing I’m sure, I prefer to enjoy a nice relaxing evening in with the people closest to me. However you rang in the New Year, I hope it’s a happy one!
