My Happy Place

Everyone has that place. A location that holds so many special memories. Some good, some bad, and some amazing. Lakeside is mine. It has helped to form my family as I know it today.

Lakeside

We just got back from a trip home to Ohio. I was back at Lakeside for the first time since moving to Florida.

Peek A Boo

The Girl playing peek a boo with a palm tree.

I Am Going To Be A Beautiful Butterfly!

Millenium Fountain

This sits at the entrance to Epcot. The Girl loves to throw coins every time we go to the park.

Still No Idea

The only prblem with the Flower and Garden festival is that they don't always label the flowers. You can go to the Festival Center to find out but it is in the front of the park and only open until 5. I find the most interesting flowers after 5 pm.

Orchids In A Mirror

Once again it was a trip to the Flower and Garden Festival. As I am still working out the finer points of using my camera, so I do not have quite as many pictures as I had hoped.

Fun With F-stops

My upgrade has arrived. All of the pictures until today have been taken with my Sony DSC-T7 (T7) the super thin point and click. Starting today I will be switching between that and my new Canon Digital Rebel XTi (XTi). I will try to remember to notate which took the pictures for anyone who is keeping track. Today I was working out how to use the F-stop to achieve different effects. These are J's night blooming jasmine. In the evening they have the most amazing scent.

Shadows #5 Theme Park Series

From the trip to Flower and Garden. I will have many more pictures to share come Sunday. Through My Eyes is headed for an upgrade!!!

Caliente

Although a bit late in honor of Cinco De Mayo I bring to you some hot peppers. They were so hot they told The Girl not to touch them.

Hydrangeas 1

I usually don't alter the photos I place here but today I got Photo Shop and I am having some fun.

Once again..

I have no idea what kind of flower this is. I would really like to know. Does anyone out there have any idea?

Flower and Garden, YAY!

With so many horrors in the news this week it was great to go and celebrate beauty. I have many pictures from today that will fill this blog over the next few weeks. I have some of flowers, butterflies, and of course shadows.

That is a weird spot for a rainbow!

I was driving home the other day and I looked up and saw this little piece of a rainbow floating in the sky. It was on the only cloud in the sky.

Shadows #4 Theme Park Series

This is the first one I took while waiting for the Speedway. On the small screen I didn't like it but once I uploaded I thought it was kind of neat.

Check This Guy Out

I saw this guy sitting outside when I picked The Girl up from day care. I just thought he was so adorable.

Shadows #3

The Girl and her BFF.

Gorillas

I love the Gorillas. I think I like them even more after the movie Tarzan. The Girl and Her BFF kept yelling Go-Rill-A, much like Jane. Super funny.

Funky Fuzzy Flower

I have absolutely no idea what kind of plant this is. It was in the line for the Safari ride at Animal Kingdom. The Girls and I both liked it.

Water Lily

I took this on Saturday. By the time I went back yesterday they had already wilted. I love that a photo can capture a moment like that.

Shadows #2

J's orchid. I don't know what my fascination with shadows was but I sure got some neat shots.

Shadows

Yesterday I was obsessed with shadows. This will be the first in the series. It is a queen palm on J's wall.

Lone Flower

I guess this flower has spring fever too! It was all alone on the tree. I made the girl follow me through the parking lot because it caught my eye.

Upcoming events

My favorite Epcot picture taking festival is just weeks away. I love the Flower and Garden Festival. I love the way they take something you would never expect and recreate it with foliage. For anyone who knows of my hidden Mickey fascination they usually put in a few extras for this. I am sure many of my upcoming posts will be from there. Here is one from last year in anticipation of the Festival.

Cats

I am not the worlds biggest cat fan but I could watch these ones all day.

Spring

This is in my parent's front yard last year. I remember when they planted the trees. My mom specifically picked the ones with pale pink flowers. Over time Mother Nature has changed them to a brighter shade of pink. Ok maybe not Mother Nature but definitely the bees and the neighbors brighter pink version of the same tree.

Why I love pink roses...

-They are the flower of Alpha Xi Delta.
-I was given some on the day The Girl was born by Aunt K. One was yellow but that is our secret.
-My little brother used the money he had saved to buy a toy to purchase my corsage of pink roses for the eighth grade dance.

Welcome

I wanted a second blog to put only pictures on. I have a ton that I have taken lately that don't really belong on my family blog. The web link to the blog is in French. Every now and then knowing a second language comes in quite handy. Apparently Through My Eyes and all the purposeful misspellings of such are all taken.
I am starting with a picture of the Main Street USA train station in pink.
