Tigers

Looking back on our day at Animal Kingdom, the tigers were arguably by far my favorite creature. It’s one thing to see them in pictures, but to see them in person is quite amazing. I can only imagine what seeing one in the wild might be like.

They’re literally big cats. It was startling to see the similarities between tigers and my cat at home.

There were so many other animals to see, but to be honest, the tigers made the biggest impression upon me. It’s insanely amazing how beautiful God’s creatures are – even the most deadly.

And yes, deadly. I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I’d want to meet up with one of these guys in the wild or in the dark.

Savvy, mate?

You must pardon me with the amount of photos that I am vomiting upon you all from my trip. Honestly, I’m so excited to share them, not only because I enjoyed myself, but because I feel I grew as a photographer. You know when you can look at something you’ve done and realize that you’ve grown? This is what I’ve gotten out of the trip to Disneyworld.

This is the final set of pictures from Epcot. As I’ve said before, Epcot was my absolute favorite park. The photos from those days are some of the best from the trip, which is why I’ve taken up two posts to show you them.

Out of all the parks we’ve visited so far, Epcot has been my absolute favorite. If you ever go to Disneyworld, make sure to stop by this park. Again, I’ve taken way too many photos, some of which I am thrilled to share with you.

(Canada Pavilion)farmgirl-0057.jpgfarmgirl-0040.jpgfarmgirl-0069.jpg(United Kingdom Pavilion)One of my favorite parts about this pavilion was the Tea Caddy. It’s full of lovely china, teas, and loads more. I’m definitely a tea addict, so much so that I ended up revisiting this shop later in the day. farmgirl-0087.jpgfarmgirl-0100.jpgfarmgirl-0102.jpgfarmgirl-0111.jpgfarmgirl-0118.jpgfarmgirl-0124.jpg

(France Pavilion) This was definitely another favorite. farmgirl-0127.jpgfarmgirl-0152.jpgfarmgirl-0167.jpgfarmgirl-0173.jpgfarmgirl-0175.jpgfarmgirl-0177.jpg

That’s all for now, friends!

Disneyworld (pt 2 Seaworld)

I have a huge confession to make. I honestly didn’t think that going to Disneyworld would be that much fun. Okay, well… presumption busted. This place is awesome.
Yesterday, I took over 700 pictures. Since photography is unpredictable, you never know how many will be good/publishable. Some of these will be making their way onto this blog. At the moment, I have no idea how many I’ve taken today. I just know that there are a lot.

Seaworld was lovely. Everything here is very beautiful, and quite different from up north. My body protests the unnatural feeling of the climate (80 degrees today), but my brain says otherwise.

Disneyworld (pt1)

Part 1: It’s not often my family goes on vacation. In fact, we never go on vacation as a family (with one exception) because of farm animals that require care. I’m currently on a vacation with my mum, aunt, and sisters.I’m typing this outside on the balcony. Florida weather is amazing in January, especially compared to the 20 degree weather I just came from. We haven’t even stepped inside Disneyworld yet, and here’s what has happened. Between you and me, we’ll call it Murphy’s Law.

 - My madre lost her driver’s license in the rental car. (It took lots of help from the rental car people.)
- We then lost our confirmation for getting the rental car out of the airport. (It was found, eventually.)
- We got lost on our way to the hotel. (A common theme, it happened during my college visit to Lynchburg.)
- Our hotel room/condo had broken tiling and mold in the master bedroom. (We switched rooms just now.)
- The lock got jammed in the new room and we were locked in. (Was just resolved.)
- A sibling just put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher, and caused a sudsy incident.

On the bright side, my mum just returned from a trip to the store with the announcement that she didn’t get hit by an 18-wheeler. Maybe Murphy is tired of law enforcement?I’ll be writing more from Florida soon.

Meanwhile we’ve all decided to laugh at everything that happens. Because at this point, we’re determined to have fun and not let the little things bother us. (Has anyone ever seen the Chevy Chase movie, “Funny Farm”? Because this vacation is reminiscent of that.) On that note – I’m going to go be eaten by dolphins at Sea World. Ciao.

As you might have guessed, the above part was written much earlier. I was not eaten by dolphins. Now, it’s late, and we’re discussing plans for tomorrow. My only comment from today? I want a sea lion. Badly. In case you couldn’t guess from the amount of pictures.

Good night, friends!
