Cruisin’ Discovery River

Posted by Mike on

Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World

Sometimes you get lucky. I happened to be crossing the bridge to Discovery Island when I noticed a boat coming down Discovery River. I quickly pulled the camera out of the bag and clicked off off a picture. I slightly over-exposed the image but was able to recover my error in Lightroom. Notice how the boat’s path through the lily pads leads right back toward Expedition Everest. Not a bad image for a quick shot…

Through the Glass – TTG02

I am having a lot of fun using the Lensball in my images. I decided I should create its own series. So I went back to the first post where I names this series (unknowingly) and created post number one. This is now the second in this new series, Through the Glass. I rolled out of bed a little later than normal since I decided to call this my off day at the gym, but I was still able to drag my butt over to the Delta Lake dam for some sunrise images. Let me know how you like this series incorporating my new toy…

Kayak Anyone?

Green Lakes State Park

Yesterday was a friend’s birthday. I decided a few weeks ago I would take the day off and bring her a couple of pictures. As the weekend approached I thought she might take the day off from work but I knew a few people who could put them on her desk so she would have something when she returned. I kept to my plan. Presents successfully delivered.

Now, what to do with the rest of the day. Considering my friend is from my previous job out in Syracuse I had a lot of possibilities. I ended up going to a few of the state parks on my way back home. Although I thought I might run into a little rain as the sky was starting to cloud over, I managed to avoid any water falling (except for a waterfall or two… ). I started with my old lunch time stomping ground while I worked in Syracuse, the Old Erie Canal Park in DeWitt. Second on my park tour was Green Lakes State Park and I ended with a recurring favorite, Chittenango Falls State Park. I thought of a few others but my stomach was calling for food and I had a few errands to run back home.

There have been a lot of improvements at Green Lakes State Park since my last visit. I really like what they have been doing. As I walked around the lake I found some kayaks stacked and ready to rent. They added a great ‘pop’ of color to this serene view of the swimming area. I’m going to have to remember this park as the leaves turn colors this fall…

Sunrise Through the Glass

Hinckley Reservoir
Through the Glass – TTG01

Saturday was supposed to have occasional rain. I read that as there would be some good cloud representation in the sky for the sunrise. It also meant I could put off doing the laundry for a day, but that is a different story. I hadn’t been up to Hinckley Reservoir in a couple of months. I wasn’t positive there would be anything worth photographing but it isn’t far and definitely worth the drive. I also knew there are plenty of rocks near the dam and I wanted to play with the Lensball again. I think everything worked out well for me…
