© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com One of the most beautiful trees I have ever seen is the royal poinciana. This tree is a native of Madagascar and is widely cultivated in the subtropical climate of south Florida. Generally, they are blooming profusely along about May of each year, but some of them are still blooming long after that, into the summer months. This one was captured in May of 2007, when my friends...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com You can get into EPCOT without ever having to set foot in the park. All you have to do is hop aboard the Walt Disney World monorail. It dips into the park before pulling into the station outside the gates. Depending upon where you are in the park at the time, it is possible that the monorail train will go softly whooshing right over your head – photo...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com As previously mentioned on this blog, there is a good deal of carved statuary scattered about Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some is carved from stone, while other pieces more resemble wood – some of it painted, some of it presented in a more natural state.

I was able to capture this little guy feasting on these blossoms at EPCOT.

The scene, from Disney’s animated feature The Lion King, has been rendered in topiary as part of the 2009 International Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT. I have fond memories of taking my two oldest nieces to see the Broadway stage adaptation of The Lion King in New York City, when they were 6 and 8 years old. Now...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Being a girl from the north, I hadn’t any idea that these trees that were blooming last month in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT theme park were actually crepe myrtle That’s a link to pictures of crepe myrtle on Flickr, which includes some of the most amazing macros. It’s also a search where I spelled it wrong, like I’ve been doing all along; according to Dictionary.com, it’s actually crApe...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Same pond at the China pavilion that was featured in yesterday’s post about the dragonfly gymnast I had to scour Google Images to figure out that this was a lotus bud, and not just a run of the mill “water lily”. Oddly, the way I finally identified it was not via the bud, but via the seed pod! I don’t usually go in for pink much because it...
