Not bad for an experienced couple – we fell in love in the Magic Kingdom back in 1973, honeymooned at Disney in 1974 and celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in 2014 at Disney! I believe Carol and I have bankrolled a few Disney movies over the years with what we’ve spent – worth every penny!
Some additional rescued images from my dead hp laptop –
At EPCOT for only one reason…
The “Tower that Carol will never ride” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s forgotten park – Hollywood Studios.
Not quite NYC.
My Carol ^.^
Chris’ new favorite throwback WDW jacket from the 1970s!
Gotta have a Disney door!
Our daughter always had to test the paint to see if it was wet! 2 cute!
Ye be Pirates!!!
The hat’s gone now!
Slick ride!
Adios Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Gotta see Jack… that’s Captain Jack Sparrow if you please.

While recovering some lost images from my now deceased hp laptop, I came across these pics that I’m somewhat proud of. Why? Because taking pictures in Disney World is not easy. How many times can you take the same shot over and over? How do you look at something that you’ve seen hundreds of times and still find an interesting point of view? How do you make the thousands of people “go away”?
Here’s some examples –
Cindy’s Castle from behind. A tight crop in the camera while pointing it nearly straight up with a wide angle lens. A dramatic sky helps too.
No peeps view! I had to wait until the last person cleared the bridge. I like the sky in this one too and it’s shot from a Tomorrowland viewpoint.
While driving (slowly) I held the camera out the driver’s side window… no they wouldn’t let me get out of the car to take this shot. How many times have I driven under that sign and wanted to take a picture???
Another tight crop in the camera while holding the camera over my head to make the people go away. Gorgeous day too!
Hi Megan!!!
Green means we’re in!
Welcome!
Crazy contrast! And yes the sky was that blue!!!
Not so haunting.
Yes it is – but an expensive one.
I’m thinking “UP”!
We’ve always seen a face.
Almost golden.
Time to go…
Thanks for hanging with us!

While downloading some forgotten images that were stored on my busted hp laptop, we came across these pics from a trip to see the Atlanta Braves take on our New York Mets at Turner Field in Atlanta. It was an early start Sunday night game that began at 6PM on ESPN.
Atlanta, Georgia on July 9th at 6PM – should have been nuclear hot out but it wasn’t. We caught a break! But the Mets didn’t!
Standing in the parking lot of Turner Field where the Fulton County Stadium used to be. My son, T.J. is standing near the original outfield wall where Hank Aaron hit his historic home run.
Of course starting in 2017, the Braves no longer play at Turner Field. They only played there for 20 years before moving to SunTrust Part on the northside of Atlanta.
One of the first sights of Turner field when you first walk in.
‘Met Killer’ and Braves great Chipper Jones #10 at the plate in the first inning. The Mets great David Wright #5 is just visible in the upper left of the image playing third base.
Good sized crowd for the ESPN Sunday Night game.
Miss Jackie – long time usher for the Braves works in the stands behind home plate. A super lady and friendly to smiling Mets fans too!
Me and Miss Jackie pose for a pic after the Braves beat my Mets, 7-1.
My guy Daniel Murphy #28 of the New York Mets.
Last sight of Turner Field for us as we didn’t get a chance to go back before the Braves moved on.
Popular one time Brave, Jeff Francoeur #12 at the plate in his first appearance back in Atlanta as a Met.
Ah yes… the 1969 Atlanta Braves. The team the Mets beat in 3 straight games in 1969 to win the National League Pennant and then go on to win the World Series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Thanks for your visit!

Always the hardest of our 3 cats to photograph. She is somewhat of a rescue kitty and is part squirrel and feral moma. JK…
Here is one of the few times in her life she’s not running from the camera. Cute kitty.

Pirate being Pirate –
A much younger Pirate (8 years ago) hanging out with me in the woods. He’s 15ish now and doesn’t climb trees anymore, doesn’t hear all that well and his eyes are a bit dim, but he’s still the best cat we’ve ever had.
March 2009 – still in his winter coat.
Taking a break from climbing trees.
Watching the fish.
Thanks for your visit! Pirate says thanks too!

Our wonderful Tomcat, Pirate, enjoys the views (and breezes) he gets whenever he’s guarding our mailbox. Notice which end is facing the street!
He usually moves whenever he hears the mail truck… usually.
He’s a great cat and people often stop to take his picture. He just started doing this when he was about a year or so old – it is his go to place whenever he wants to keep an eye out on the neighborhood.
Pirate, aka, Pirate de Cat, Andy Panda, Pi Pi, Pie, Shamu and Old Man.
One of our favorites – along the south bank of the St. Johns River in almost downtown Jacksonville.

Forgotten tool from an abandoned project – as seen through a window that I had installed a long time ago on tile carefully set by me. This was once our house – it was completely reconstructed over the 8 years we lived there. Then sold. Subsequent owners and renters left the house in ruins. A visit back saw the house gutted and lost.
Brass numbers hang neglected – a haven for spiders. I shaped that cedar plaque and affixed those numbers.
A sad sight for us. It was once nearly perfect. Time takes its toll.
Our garden shed was once bright and filled with plants and potting supplies. The grass was perfect and lovely boardwalks connected the shed to the main deck and garage. Weeds and wasps now.
But a new owner took on the challenge – just as we did in 1981. We thought it was nothing more than a tear down – but it’s new life for 818. Joy to see!
Thanks for your visit…
