Big 12! by orangecrush

Big 12!

I took my oldest daughter to Disneyland for her 12th birthday! 12! Amazing that I am almost a father of a teenager! What happened! :o)

This is my first shot for my year #3! I had big plans for my #365 shot on my 2nd year project but I just couldn't get was I was after so then I tried the "simple" slideshow route...I am so computer illiterate! :o) After almost a week of trying to get the pics timed right for the song and basically just getting it to work, I decided to relieve the pressure and just jump into year three! So, here we gooooo!
great light and colours here - hope she had a wonderful birthday

Ahhh, Disneyland. This image brings back lots of memories for me. I hope your daughter will have fun ones as well. Like all the intricate lines and the palm trees. How Southern California can you get?!

Fabulous shot! We'll be there on the 27th of this month... can't wait! You're from San Diego, right?? I saw a thing about the Carlsbad flower gardens. They look beautiful. Have you ever been?? Some of the reviews made it sound that all the flowers aren't out until later so I'm wondering if it's too early to go.
