A day trip to catch fall foliage in Vermont ended up with the following (not necessarily in that order!!!) Hikes to Waterfalls, Red housed, stops on I-91N, covered bridges and ZEBRAS!!! Yup you read it right, it was a Zebra and then a stop in a beautiful little town called Woodstock,VT. I would love going back there again.

Bridge of flowers yet again and new plants to discover. The usual icecreams and the walk to the glacial potholes. It was a fun trip. The lilacs were smelling sooooooooo good.

Tulips galore @ the 2009 Albany Tulip Festival. I went after the festival because it is very tough to get good decent shots with so many people walking around. The tulips are in various colors and are planted with careful thought to enhance contrast and color. Again tried to get some shots with the evening sun. This festival happens at the Washington square Park,Albany,NY every year around Mother's day weekend.

A host of Golden Daffodils in the evening sun @ the 2009 Meriden Daffodil Festival Hubbard Park,Meriden,CT. I had my share of the yummy Belgian waffles and waited for the golden light in the evening to get some shots and also met a photographer from myrecordjournal.com and got some tips for shooting pix. Watched fireworks in the night and then called it a day. Was a nice trip with quiet time to click pictures.

This was at the Wooster Square Park, New Haven CT with 72 cherry blossom trees in full blossom, some music and definitely very less food. Enjoyed walking around the park and clicking pictures.

I shot this picture at the Bridge of Flowers last year. Was a tough shot to get as the bees were constantly buzzing and moving around and the height of the plant wasnt helping at all either. Just put in one more picture on the flickr page. Need to upload the rest soon. Awaiting the blooming of Cherry Blossoms, Tulips and Daffodils in my yard.
Eagerly awaiting spring. :)

Animal Kingdom,Disney Florida

Spent an entire day @ the Animal Kingdom and it was really a lot of fun. We went first thing in the morning and got the Fast Passes for the Kilimanjaro Safari and it was one wild and bumpy ride. We thoroughly enjoyed spotting flamingos by the pond, Rhinos,Giraffes, Lion (The King of the Jungle was taking his afternoon nap, so we didnt really see his face), Tigers,Elephants and so many many other animals. Animal Kingdom is a kewl place with Asia and Africa. They had the whole friends of the animal thing which the little brat enjoy doing and we wandered all around Animal kingdom to get it stamped. The parade was enjoyable and we got to shake hands with the characters as they walked by and also collected some souvenirs for the scrapbook.
Caught the Festival of the Lion King and then also met Mickey Mouse there. Tired after all the little Treks (Maharaja Jungle Trek, Panchgani Forest Trail) and all the excitement , calling it a day, we finally headed home.

We ended up meeting Donald (twice) and also rode the Goofy's roller coaster and also ate a mickey waffle, watched the parade. watched fireworks at night and well did a lot of stuff at Magic Kingdom, only to come back for more soon.Personally I enjoyed the Pirates of the Carribean thing and the fireworks at Cinderella's castle.

hanging in there

Between fixing cars,laptops and a crazy weather....I am just exhausted. The gym classes aren't helping the cause either. Into twitter and facebook these days.
Still haven't posted my only travelogue over the winter, my trip to Walt Disney world. Been a month since I went there. Shall post soon.
