Yellow on Yellow
On a lot of sites in the Disney photography community Monday is considered Monorail Monday. As the name implies, everyone shares their latest image of one of Disney’s monorails. I truly caught the monorail bug during my October visit and thought I would continue the obsession during my latest trip. I was a little less single minded this trip, partly due to the windier weather late in the week when I was visiting Epcot and partly due to my goal of trying more of the food offerings at the outdoor kitchens for the Flower & Garden Festival. I did manage to capture Monorail Yellow trying to compete with this yellow flower (wish I had remembered to get its name…), or maybe it is the flower competing with the monorail. 🙂

Butterfly House
Not everything at Disney has the ‘Disney’ look to it. During the events, like the International Flower & Garden Festival, there are amazing exhibits geared toward the event that only have a hint of Disney. The Butterfly House is one of those exhibits. A beautiful garden filled with assorted butterflies and flowers. The only taste of Disney is the fairy houses spread throughout the exhibit but even those don’t scream Disney. The exhibit also teaches about butterflies and the benefits they bring a garden. I was prepared for the event this year. I had the right lens, camera settings all figured out and luckily an overcast day which provided wonderful even lighting. Here is a short tour through the garden…

Rainbow Connection
The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is the reason I came down to Disney in March. It has been a few years since I last attended and I had such a great time I wanted to experience it again. OK, I guess I don’t really need an excuse to go to Disney so I should just stop and say I WANTED TO GO! 🙂
The topiaries Disney creates for this festival are part of the draw for me. They really have mastered that art form. I believe I managed to capture them all this year but being a long time Muppets fan I just couldn’t wait to share this one. I know it is more in promotion of the upcoming movie but I liked the lighting and scene they created for Kermit and Miss Piggy. I had to capture four different exposures to get everything lit properly but the resulting HDR didn’t turn out too bad.
