An Icon

Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World

It might seem a little silly but I always start my trips to Walt Disney World by visiting the Magic Kingdom first. A few years ago I arrived at 9:30pm but the park was open until 1:00am so I jumped on the bus and made it home that first day. This trip was no different even though my reasons for coming down would have me at other parks most of the time. Here is a different view (although one I have probably shared before) of the Magic Kingdom’s larger than life icon… Cinderella Castle.

Peaceful Creek

Oriskany Creek

Friday was another beautiful day here in Upstate NY. I don’t want to jinx us but we have been enjoying a string of beautiful days and I took full advantage of the one we had yesterday. Originally I had to take a half day off of work to help my daughter get to a meeting for her summer research position as well as her (what is now a second job!) scheduled shift at Price Chopper. There was a little mix-up with the times but everything worked out for the best. What it did allow is for me to go exploring on my way home before having to get her to work.

As much as I love the Autumn and the colors of the changing leaves, I think I love the new budding leaves in the Spring just as much. The new green leaves against the dark, winter worn limbs always looks great to me. Through in some water reflections and I will click the shutter release all day. The leaves hit that sweet spot on Friday so stopping at Oriskany Creek was now a must do as I worked my way home. Midday isn’t always the best time to capture a picture but I think this one turned out OK.
