Smile, it’s Wednesday 
You want me to be happy, don’t you?
DON’T YOU?
Towers and tails – a twilight perspective
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~*
A view of the Walt Disney World Dolphin resort from the World Showcase in EPCOT. The dolphin sculptures on top of the resort wave their tails in the air. One is obscured by the Eiffel Tower from the French pavilion. Perspective makes it seem as though the Eiffel Tower stands right alongside the resort.

You want me to be happy, don’t you?
DON’T YOU?
Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it…

I was walking in the Oasis, a quiet, lushly green and tranquil section just inside the gates of Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. It’s a soothing place where you’ll find twisting paths, a rope bridge, a joyously tumbling waterfall and all manner of exotic animals and birds. The day was hot, and the air was heavy and still. The silence was broken only by barely discernible ambient music and the gurgling of a stream. I rounded a corner and came upon a beautiful glade that surrounded a pool. And there he stood, on a rock – a Great Egret.
I became excited when I realized that he was in full breeding plumage. My heart started to beat faster; it was so loud in my ears, I was sure he would hear it, become frightened and take flight. I think I might have even been holding my breath. I crept forward to get a closer look, reaching into my bag for the camera.
The closer I got, the more convinced I became that he very well knew that he had company and didn’t mind in the least.. He seemed to straighten a bit and puff out his chest. I took this as a good sign in terms of getting some photographs, and I was no longer afraid of making the slightest sound. The mechanical whir of the camera’s lens opening and extending broke the reverie, contrasting sharply against the backdrop of rushing water and the far-off exclamations of other types of birds who lived at the Oasis. The Great Egret stood his ground, unperturbed. I fired off several shots of him just standing there on the rock, playing with distance and focus. He started to fuss a little, and I stopped shooting, holding my breath again, finger hovering in mide-air over the button.
… the Great Egret VOGUED for me!
Happy Critturday!

Stalking the big, red “hidden” Mickey heads at EPCOT

I love the banks of the lagoons at EPCOT during the International Flower and Garden Festival, because of the all the fun shapes planted into the flower beds. I’ve seen hearts, stars, half-moons and of course, “hidden” Mickey heads. Last spring, the landscaping included two huge, red “hidden” Mickey heads in these locations. One was very close to the glass pyramids that house the Imagination! attraction. The other was quite close to the butterfly house on the other side of the park. Here we go – enjoy!

Rocky Mountains or Swiss Alps?
Maybe the Andes…
None of the above – it’s Expedition Everest!

Approaching the Sunshine Skyway, St. Petersburg, Florida

Looks like the sails of
a tall ship in the distance;
when will it set sail?
My obsession with the Sunshine Skyway continues. If I can find a place to pull over and shoot, I do. Otherwise I just keep my eyes on the road, point the lens in the general direction and pray Not bad, huh? Have a happy and productive Friday, everyone!

This Way Thurs-Way is under new management!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
I am the new manager of This Way Thurs-Way, a Thursday photo meme about signs and the road. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to help keep this meme afloat, and I hope that everyone reading this will consider visiting the participants and maybe even post a “This Way” of your own now and then!
Here is a path I’ve recently encountered –
That’s the bridge between Sanibel and Captiva, under which the waters of Blind Pass flow, courtesy of recent efforts by the Army Corps of Engineers to open up the pass after many years of dry sand under the bridge. You can drive across, walk or even ride you bike – just don’t jump, ok?
