The Swamp!

Went on a little swamp ride today! I love seeing all of the moss hanging from the trees!





I don't think he wanted to play with us!!!





I think he was wondering if we would taste "just like chicken?"

Night Time!

Just a couple of pictures of the adult pool area lit up at night.





There are SO MANY areas that I want to take pictures of. I want to take the tripod down with me and just walk around taking night time shots. We'll see how far I get with that! LOL!

Mr. Mister and I have been leaving our doors wide open so that we can listen to the waterfalls all of the time. We even slept with the doors open. They have the sounds of frogs, crickets, and an occasional bird playing over the speakers. It's all SO COOL!

We Have Arrived In Orlando!

Mr. Mister enjoying the view from our room!



And WOW! What a view it is!







We are staying at the Gaylord Palms, and it is AMAZING!!! Beneath their signature atriums are four-and-a-half acres of indoor gardens with three distinct Florida environments. Our room is located in the Everglades complex.

Somebody pinch me! I think I have died and gone to HEAVEN!

San Antonio Botanical Gardens - Through My Eyes!

I wanted to get the pictures from the San Antonio Botanical Gardens uploaded before we head out to Florida tomorrow morning, because we all know that I will be a picture taking fool while I'm there! LOL!

I must warn you that there are a ton of photographs in this post! (20 of them! YES! 20!)

As you will see, I was really concentrating on anything that had red in it because I am going to use some of my pictures to decorate the downstairs bathroom, and red is going to be my "pop" color in there.

I hope you enjoy the pictures! Just keep scrolling down! (And down, and down! LOL!)









































Still here? Are your eyes going bonkers? LOL!

San Antonio Botanical Gardens - Through Mr. Mister's Eyes!

On our last day in San Antonio we decided to visit the botanical gardens. I LOVE taking pictures of nature!

But guess what? So does Mr. Mister! He keeps telling me he needs his own camera. After looking at these next few photographs, I have to agree with him! He took some AWESOME shots!

Check them out!







Makes you just want to jump right in, and cool off a bit!



I LOVE the lighting on this next one!



I used Pioneer Woman's Sunshine action on this one. It gave it that yellow hue! (YES! I tweak the majority of my photographs in Adobe Photoshop, using Pioneer Woman's FREE actions found here and here!)



Of course, EVERYONE loves butterflies!





Can you imagine how many pictures we will have? With both of us, snapping away like crazy people! LOL!

I will post some of my pictures from the botanical gardens later!

Tagged!

Michelle, over at Mosaic Cottage, tagged me! UGH! I must say that I despise having my picture taken! Even more so, when I have to take it up close and personal, since I am the only one here at the moment. My only saving grace was that I had actually just finished blow drying my hair and putting my "bondo" on! NO JOKE! I really did!

So the rules of the tag were to take a picture of yourself right at that minute! AS IS! And then post it on your blog! So here it is! I am totally washed out! But, it's the best I could do at THAT moment! LOL! (I did take it into photoshop and play with it a bit. But, I couldn't change the fact that I was washed out. I am VERY pale to begin with, sooooooooooo.......)



I really cannot believe I am even putting this up on here! So please, don't be too cruel! LOL!

I am supposed to tag five others to play along with this! I decided to tag Carla, Jessica, Shannon (this blog is password protected), Ginny, & Amy. I know they will all just LOVE me for this! Sorry Girls!

Soon, I will be posting pictures of the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, that Mr. Mister and I took. I definitely want this post to start scrolling down the screen ASAP! ROFL!

San Antonio Riverwalk - Part Two!

I'm back from another glorious afternoon down at the Riverwalk. I could wander around down there for hours. It's just so peaceful! Especially, in the early morning, which is when the following three pictures were taken. Once afternoon hits, it's a great place to "people watch."







These next pictures were taken outside the Hyatt Regency which sits right on the Riverwalk. This is where Mr. Mister's conference is being held. They have a garden area outside with lots of plants, flowers, and fountains. The fountains actually flow right into the hotel! GORGEOUS! (You know that I cannot resist a few close-up shots of the flowers! I feel another blog banner coming on! LOL!)













I'm hoping to take my tripod down with me at night, so that I can get some pictures while it's all lit up!

As for the Alamo, I have walked by it several times. I have even walked the area within it's walls, but I didn't feel like waiting in line to go inside, and still haven't pulled the camera out to take pictures of it.

TSK! TSK! BAD Kathy!
