Disneyland

Balcony at the Rancho

This is a picture I took a few years ago. I was excited about it then and, for some reason, it has remained a favorite. I guess that means it’s about time I shared it.

Hello there. It’s been a while (again). Extra time has been a little scarce of late but it’s good to be back (with several posts ready to go!) and I have a couple of exciting things to share. Maybe we can make this a habit again, meeting here for new adventures. That’s the goal.

Jazz Hands

Disneyland, New Orleans Square

I came across this photo recently as I was going through my library. I smile every time I think of Ernie. There was something of heaven in the way he played. His music was gentle and could turn a sour mood sweet in no time. I’m grateful for every moment I got to bask in it.

Benches at Disneyland

Disneyland, Main Street USA

I have a lot of good memories on the benches at Disneyland.

They’re so inviting. I love claiming one and people watching while listening to the Main Street audio loop. It’s an especially satisfying thing to do first thing in the morning, or with some coffee or cocoa at the end of a long day as the park closes and thousands of people turn to hundreds and hundreds to tens.

An Alpine Garden in Bloom

Disneyland, Fantasyland

With the recent arrival of Spring, I’ve still got flowers on the brain. Another wonderful area for them at Disneyland is at the base of the Matterhorn, where blooms spring above a bed of lush green grass.

Trading Stars for Sky

Disneyland, Tomorrowland

What Tomorrowland lacks in futuristic feelings, it makes up for with lines. At least that’s what I tell myself when I come away with so many photos like this one when I spend time there.
