Our giant reticulated friend, unable to articulate, was forced to gesticulate in the most ridiculous manner.

This hotel is great.  We have a room that overlooks the Savannah and we can see giraffes, zebras, and about a dozen other exotic animals frolicking about.  Thank goodness I brought the 200mm lens… although this one was taken with the 10mm Sigma.

Last night we had the Pirates and Princesses party.  I was trying to figure out why so many adults were standing in line to get autographs from a Disney actor that was pretending to be Jack Sparrow, another actor.  Mass hysteria, I say!

I’m here with the family in Disneyworld for a few days. I hear a lot of, “Dad comon we gotta get a FastPass,” and “Dad comon didn’t you take pictures last year?” But the clouds are different. THE CLOUDS ARE DIFFERENT! 🙂

Everyone ran for cover, and I ran for the tripod. It’s not like metal attracts lightning or anything… comon, that is a problem in microwaves… not storms… everyone knows that.

An early morning thunderstorm comes across the Atlantic towards Palm Beach in Florida…

It’s just slightly nicer than the Motel 6 way down the road, and they even let you play soccer there in the grass.

I was lucky that it was very stormy there and the rain let up right at dusk.

Here are a few Disney fireworks to start the new year! 🙂

And his heavenly bodies…

This is one of the most famous hotels in Palm Beach.

Found in Disneyworld….
