Dwelling in the Moment

Spent another fun morning at Busch Gardens. Karl and I love strolling the park.

The beautiful grounds.......lush foliage......amazing animals.........crazy roller coasters with death defying twists and turns......the shops.....and the smell of oak on the BBQ preparing for all the hungry folks that show up midday.....

Early morning has always been our favorite time to go as the sun is still sitting on the horizon....the park is less populated, and the animals are out enjoying breakfast and getting their morning exercise before the heat sets in.

These tigers always make for great photo opportunities......the 2 foot thick plexi-glass walls separating us from these beautiful creatures are barely visible to the camera.
In this photo we could have touched noses!Shops offering fun items from stuffed animals to imported wood carvings from far away places.Flowers of every color......towering bamboo.......lush plush foliage wrapping around the entire park.......the beauty is breathtaking.In the glory of our escape to this wonderland, life carries on as Karl takes a moment to schedule work for the upcoming days.
Whooorahhh for work!!!! :)
At journeys end, a quick stop for lunch before leaving the park!
$3.99 lunch for two...........Life is good! :)
For more photos please visit Karl's gallery here and you can find my gallery here. Both a work in progress, much more to be added!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
