    1. They worked their Disney magic in creating the environment in Cars Land--you really feel like you're in Radiator Springs. There are currently some interesting places to shop and eat. Also in California Adventure, I really like what they've done with the entry area, turning it into Buena Vista Street--much like Main Street across the way in Disneyland proper, it has a homey, welcoming, familiar but nostalgic feel to it, with more places to browse and relax.

  2. SO cool. I have to go back and look more closely, but the photo that caught my attention was the umbrellas...

    1. Thanks. I really like that one, too, kind of an abstract. I applied a creative filter to it to get some texture and sharpen the lines.

  3. I enjoyed that! Never been to a Disney place before but got a good feel for it from those photos. Bet one can never, ever run out of things to see and do...

    1. You got it! At least, for me, there are always details and changes and additions and deletions, too, that interest me. 1400 photos this time and I came home realizing that there were a ton of things I wanted to shoot and hadn't.

  4. Just went back and looked again. There are so many that more to see in them than I first realized...and the colors are great! Add streetcar with bubbles and base player to my favorites...plus green heron and reflection. Still looking...
