2008 Flower & Garden Festival: Statues and Topiaries

June 26, 2008

OK, we are BACK and better than ever! Thanks for bearing with me through a couple of meme days. Here we are, back at the 2008 Flower & Garden Festival, which is an annual springtime event held at EPCOT, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, the USA, North American Continent, The World, The Universe! Sorry, just a little silliness there. On with the show!

Today we bring you topiaries from Peter Pan’s Neverland Garden. Why, here’s that rascal Peter now!

Uh oh, Peter – here comes Captain Hook! Now, I wonder why the Captain is not looking very pleased?

Look, his eyes are all screwed up like he’s gonna bawl any minute! Well, no wonder – look who’s right behind him.

Yes, that’s right – it’s Croc. Bet he took a big ol’ bite outta Hook’s butt! :D

Last but definitely not least – it’s TINKERBELL!

She’s very cute this year, wouldn’t you say?

Peter Pan’s Neverland Garden was located on the Rose Walk. After I was done looking around in there, I moseyed on up to the Sculpture Garden. This space had works “on loan from some of Florida’s most prestigious collections in a beautiful garden setting”.

Now, I don’t mean to be low-brow about this, but quite frankly, many of the pieces I saw in this space looked like heaps of trash to me, and I didn’t photograph them. I guess I just have a very traditional personal definition of “art”, which explains why these appealed to me -

Of these three – horse, girl and heron – I believe the girl appeared in last year’s Flower & Garden Festival, but the horse and the heron are new this year.

TOMORROW: FLOWERS!

    Tink, thanks for being pleased about Ruby Tuesday! I want to say your photos are so incredible! How do you get them so big on your blog. I know Blogger resizes pictures when you upload so how do you avoid that! What side do you upload?

    *Big thumbs up*

    And weren’t Tink’s wings cool? =)

    Renee and I had a ball in the sculpture garden…especially when she wondered out loud how a bunch of weird, painted metal could be considered art. Priceless!
