I slept, and dreamt that life was all joy.
I woke, and saw that life was but service.
I served, and discovered service was joy.

Blog EntryPicture Perfect Friday ~ MAGICAL ~ May 2, 2008May 1, '08 8:42 PM
for everyone
I'm breaking my tradition this week by posting on Thursday...as I may not have a moment to spare at my usual time after the stroke of midnight.




Picture Perfect Theme ~ 'MAGICAL'
This week, let's thank "Tint" for our theme.
To join our creative group and for the rules... please visit this link and let your imagination run wild:

My entry shot with my CanonA85 on Scene setting, no flash.
Photobucket
I would be remiss if I didn't post about "The Happiest Place On Earth". After all... I live in Orange County, California... 10 minutes away "as the crow flies"... from the "Magic Kingdom"... DISNEYLAND!

It is where a child can be a child...and a grown up can feel like a child again. Look beyond the crowds, the money spent, and the long lines. Just enjoy the magical feeling of being with those that you love. Cherish the smiles on their faces as they gaze upon the colors and the fireworks....for these moments sometimes only come once if you're fortunate. How perfect the setting..."The Magic Castle"... where every story has a beautiful ending.

May you all find that same happiness in your lives.

you know, I rarely take pics of anything but I enjoy the photographs that the others post. I wish I could post a pic from the net but that would prob go against the rules, so I'll just admire the work of the talented photographers among us :)))

If I had to share one of the happiest places in my life, it would be this place, Sioux Lookout, in Ontario. My father used to take me here as a child and my happiest memories are here. This is a pic from photobucket....not my own.....just to clarify. I'm not entering the contest....just wanted to share this with you.

Just Back from Sioux Lookout

Looking at this, I am reminded of Fantasyland, Adventureland, The Mickey Mouse Club (original days of old that is) Spin and Marty, Micky, Pluto and of course the magical fairey ... Tinkerbell ... all magical moments in this old boy's lifetime. Thanks for posting this.

(zorra ... no matter the age ... we all become kids when we walk into The Magical Kingdom ... Grinning)

Thanks for the visit and comments, greatly appreciated. I too have been to Sedona, about 10 years ago. Just gotta love what nature creates without man's interference. 8=)

Your photo looks so dreamy and purely magical! I've never been to Disney - land or -world, I think if I did I'd never want to leave, too caught up in the magic =)
Thanks so very much for your kind comment on mine - I appreciate your stopping by. Have a beautiful weekend!

Great shot! It is a magical place! We have yet to take our boys there -- maybe this year.
carolynsblog wrote on May 3
Very nice and great picture. Initially when I saw the theme magical I thought about the magic caslte. I was recently at work and lady saw saying that she went to Disney World in Florida, and when she talked about it she had so much joy and happiness in her voice and spirit that I became so excited that I started reseacrhing way to get to that place as so as I got home. But the major thing I remember was her saying that she saw the magic castle and when she was explaining it I started to cry and the only thing I could say was, "wow, I am going to go with my family".
Thanks for the great picture!

We would love to have you. I am an annual pass holder and go to DW at least 5 times a year. My next trip is in a month. As you can see from my headshot, I was just there for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Show. The wallpaper on my page is the first fountain you come by as you enter EPCOT!.

I'm happy you have a magical place down the road, Romey. My daughter will be spending her senior trip in that happy place very soon. However, having spent too much of my life working in the Florida version of that place (among other theme parks) I will let you and the hordes of others have it to yourselves. lol ... my poor kids ... although we did take them to Disney world about 8 or 9 years ago (yep, we caved to kid pressure).

Such a cool and wonderous place!! Nothing like having it in your backyard!! Totally magical!
gkluit wrote on May 5
Ah, we are of alike minds! Although your photo is certainly more magical than mine! I envy you, only 10 minutes away from Disneyland. If I lived that close by, I would be visiting several times a year.
I leave this wednesday for Disneyland Paris, a 6 hour drive.

O yes, I can feel the magic right now. We don't have a Disneyland here but there is a huge amusement park in the suburb and every time I go there with my nephews and nieces, I think I enjoy it more than them... :-)
Nice take on the theme, bro and you're so lucky!
