Grilled Jumbo Italians

I stopped by the Annual Spring Art Festival in Celebration, Florida yesterday morning and got a few shots of the festivities. As soon as I spotted these vendors I whipped out my easel and palette* and captured this scene so I could create this watercolor when I got back to my studio. Imagine, all those artists displaying their beautiful creations and this is what caught my eye, lol.

I swear I didn't pay her to write that on the board!

Celebration Today

I went to Celebration, which is about five miles from Champions Gate, to catch the sunrise this morning. The first thing I saw was a couple of hot air balloons directly over the golf course and headed in the direction of Champions Gate. This shot was taken at the lake front in downtown, and by the time I shot it the two balloons you see were probably over Champions Gate.

This is a view of the Celebration Hotel (on the left) and the shops that line Bloom Street in Downtown Celebration. See another shot on the Celebration Daily Photo blog.

Random Weekend Shots

1) Hot Air Balloon floating over the National Course at the Champions Gate Golf Course.
2) The Gate, sunrise October 18, 2008.
3) I am still a Gator hunter.
4) Balloon at the Gate, sunrise October 16, 2008.
5) Self portrait. I'm still cute.
6) Great Blue Herons leaving for work, sunrise October 19, 2008. I was surprised to see one Great White flying along with them. One of the ways to tell these are herons, rather than cranes, which are a similar size, is the way they hold their neck when flying - curled back towards their body. Cranes fly with their necks outstretched.
7) The Gate, sunrise October 19, 2008.
8) Clock Tower top, sunrise October 18, 2008.
9) Office building under construction on Celebration Boulevard. Celebration is just a couple of miles up the road. All of these office buildings seem to have an Art Deco appearance. I don't know anything about architecture, so that's a guess. LOL
10) The Farmer's Market at Downtown Celebration October 19, 2008.
11) Celebration Hotel basking in the morning sun, October 19, 2008.
12) House Of Blues water tower and ticket office at Downtown Disney. I was really there to photograph people enjoying the Florida lifestyle, but this thing got in the way.

Make sure you click 'em to big 'em, I don't want you to miss anything. To see people enjoying the Florida lifestyle go to Stuff I Shoot, thanks.
