Show me a picture, PROVE ME WRONG!

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

This is a creature that my DH and I have seen multiple times around DTD. It is a bird that swims under water! We joke saying, "Is it a fish? Is it a bird? Nope, it's a fird."

Anyone have any idea what it is? It's our own personal lockness monster

Don't know but I have a photo of it

Here's mine =)

This was taken at MK. Who would ever think you would see Donald so mad at the MK, lol.

This was taken outside the 50's prime time diner...and no I didn't make that shadow with the table and chairs, lol.

Okay, haven't read through all pages, so this one might have been posted. sorry it's poor quality.

This one cracks me up. Who doesn't know how to wash their hands? Maybe only those too young to be able to read this

 

[carmie3377]

Another one from Fantasmic. Anyone?

 

[carmie3377]

Some more...

I THINK I have a few unique photos that others may not have taken - but I'd be glad to be proven wrong. So if anyone else has taken these, please post them up!:

1. XXX Kangaroo at Animal Kingdom XXX

2. Blooms, scenery, clock at Epcot's France pavilion:

3. Another France view...this one from the backside smoking area looking through the 'Arcade' archway:

4. XXX The Land's fish farm house entrance XXX

5. Walt's experimental community of tomorrow model from the TTA (this one is a PITA to take...whizzing through a dark tunnel on a moving ride and shooting through panes of glass!):

6. The KNRG radio tower in Ellen's Energy Adventure:

7. The Pluto window in a back hall of Innoventions west:

8. Doors in Liberty Square at MK:

9. Daytime slow-shutter shot of the Dumbo ride spinning:

10. Behind Liberty Square:

I brought mine around - two of those I originally posted have been gotten by someone else so far (the ones "XXX"d out)...so I thought I'd see if anyone has any of the others.

And to keep it fresh, here are a few more:

As was said a while ago, a Cormorant.

BUT!!!

Did you know this??

"There is also concern about the effect of cormorants on the vegetation in their nesting grounds. Cormorants can damage vegetation by stripping leaves from trees. The combined weight of the birds and their nests can even break branches. But perhaps most importantly, their excrement, which rains down to the ground from their nests, kills the ground vegetation and eventually kills the nest tree. In some cases, the loss of these trees can lead to increased erosion. This is of particular concern on sandspits and barrier beaches which protect interior wetlands. In other areas, the vegetation may be of unusual natural significance, such as the islands in western Lake Erie which are forested by rare stands of Carolinian woodlands. The large Cormorant colonies there could seriously impact or even destroy this vegetation."

you have to scroll down to "Too many Cormorants?" for the quote above, but an interesting read nonetheless.

Now, the only reason I point this out is that we had 6-8 Cormorants at our cottage, on an island peninsula, on our small Northern Ontario lake the last 2 years, but they did not return this year.
Not a big point of land, but a few big trees on it.
There is damage from them, but if they do not return next year, we may have our picturesque point back.

When I saw them in Florida it was "Hmmmm..(looks around)..where are all the dead trees...lets see"


Just one of those "You learn something new every day" type things.

Keep the pictures coming!!
