FLICKR FRIDAY Project116*3: The NEWLY PAINTED Castle

In an effort of doing a double upload this week, I go back to the Disneyland trip well (I really can only draw blood from this stone one last time).

During our 8th anniversary, and the first day we arrived, they removed the scrim and scaffolding and what you see is the new paint scheme for the Sleeping Beauty castle. Now to be fair there are some who wanted more muted colors but for me and my wife, we loved the saturation. The shade of blue with the gold was so punchy and the way the sun hit the castle right at that time of day, it was....just magical.

I'll have an upload again, how so ever the blog entry for Shutter Speed for the "Understanding Exposure" blog series is on hold while I recoup an injury and get ahead of some obligations personally. Thanks for understanding and see you again soon!

FLICKR FRIDAY Project116*3: "Breakfast of Champions"

This installment of Project116*3 comes to you from my anniversary vacation. I’m not about to let a project get in the way of me relaxing but Disneyland has always had a special place in my heart for it’s attractions, smells, sounds, and food. This morning was no different as my wife and I wanted to experience something new that we haven’t experienced before, to add to our already bursting filing cabinet of good memories. We tried Carnation Cafe, and let me tell you this tip; wait longer for outside seating. Always seat outside. No matter where you are eating most every place in Disneyland let’s you eat outside under an umbrella, and it just adds to the experience. I’ll definitely reorder my waffle w/ sausage, oj, and coffee next time we swing by Disneyland, and that will be next year exactly enjoying our 9th year married. I love being married to my best friend, and I love spending time at Disneyland with her. Here’s to another eight years!
