In The Yard – ITY45
Oh, you are so in trouble! If you thought I went overboard with the dandelions, wait until you see me with the daisies. I was standing in the kitchen working on my dinner when I noticed small white spots out in the pasture behind the house. At first I thought dandelions, but no, too white… daisies!
As soon as dinner was done I grabbed the camera with the macro lens and walked out into the field to find me some daisies. As luck would have it, even the wind died down for me. Mother Nature was obviously on my side or she is a fan of my daisy pictures. Either way, the hunt was on… and the summer of overloaded daisy pictures has begun.

Next to the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot, before the Donald Duck meet & greet area, is a pathway to the side entrance of the pyramid. Along this path you can find a variety of Orchids. In the Spring during the Flower & Garden Festival is your best opportunity. Once I found this area I make a point to return every visit to see what flowers are available. I can always find a beautiful subject for my camera…

I did go to Walt Disney World for the International Flower & Garden Festival. I found a lot of beautiful flowers. I didn’t even try to learn their names, I only photographed them.

Figment Garden
International Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot
I spent a beautiful Monday running around Epcot during the International Flower & Garden Festival. I think I walked around World Showcase at least three complete times. I was smart and brought my 60mm macro lens. I had such a great time photographing the flowers. The colors were really “popping” yesterday.
My original plan was to post a picture from the entrance to the park. There is always a wonderful topiary display there and with Spaceship Earth in the background it ends up being a great image. I forgot how busy that area can be, especially in the mornings. Plus, I’m not positive everyone understands how to wait their turn for a photo opportunity. I’ll be going back to Epcot so maybe the next visit I’ll find that picture.
I did find Figment at the opposite location to the entrance. There is always a corresponding topiary display “behind” Spaceship Earth and the Fountain of Nations. This year the topiary was Figment from the Imagination Pavilion. This display is never as busy, or maybe by the time most people get to this location they have figured out how to share…
