Busch Gardens Tampa

A Safari on the Florida Serengeti 

Where  different animals roam together 


And Zebra graze contentedly


 My favorite...the Giraffe



They are all so curious as the train rattles by! 


...and oh so Magnificent! 


Rhinos and their wallowing grounds

Gazelle line the horizon


 Everyone on the train have their cameras out


 zooming in on the gazelle


and the Zebra


It's easy to forget it's a park until the blue skyway cars pass overhead

And roller coasters roar!

I can practically hear the drum beats of the commercial:  Busch Gardens....Tampa!  




Linking up with
Blue Friday

Hi Jeannie!

What a great tour!! We have a similar place in Ohio that we took our "grands" to and we loved it. It's so wonderful to see God's great creatures in a natural setting. And we can still enjoy them!

Have a grand week!
Blessings, Edie Marie

That is a great shot of the giraffes where you can only see one of their bodies! Giraffes just always make me smile...I think it is those huge gentle eyes of theirs :)

Oh how wonderful! I just love Zoo's and places where you can see animals in their natural habitat.
We went to Florida a couple of years ago and saw the animals at the Animal Kingdom at Disney World.
Thanks for visiting my Fall post and for leaving such a nice comment.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
