Some are very ornate and colorful while others are plain and utilitarian like the one I found leaning against a building in the African village of Harambe. A bike leaning against a building in … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Bikes"

After a few hours of walking around any Walt Disney World park, a rocking chair to sit down and relax in is a very welcome sight. I found a member of my party really relaxing over on Tom Sawyer Island in the Magic Kingdom back in 2009. A guest takes a nap in a rocking … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Rocking Chairs"

Back in 2008, I showed and explained what photography equipment I bring and why to Walt Disney World. While the principles remain the same, my equipment has changed and for the better.

Disney Pic of the Week: Rhino

Posted on by AllEars
Rhinos rank among the most endangered species on Earth. There are five kinds of rhino: white, black, Indian, Sumatran and Javan. Two types, black and white, reside on the Kilimanjaro Safari in Animal Kingdom. I believe these are white rhinos. If I am wrong, please let me know

Rhinoceroses like to wallow in mud to keep bugs off of them and get protection from the Sun. May not look great but it gets the job done. White … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Rhinoceros"
