Disneyland's Real World of Color

I went to Downtown Disney today to meet up with a couple of relatives from Nevada who were in town on a Disneyland trip. After lunch and shopping, they headed back to their hotel for a little R&R. Since I have nothing better to do these days, I whipped out my annual pass and headed into the park where I glimpsed a rare sighting...

In the Hub, near the iconic Partners statue, the four Pink Lapacho trees were in full bloom! The bright pink blossoms were absolutely stunning, and created an incredible backdrop for some of Disneyland's most photographed sights.

Most of the year, these trees are covered in average-looking green leaves. Sometimes there are no leaves at all. The Disneyland gardeners typically keep things looking cheery by hanging live floral displays. There was clearly no need for that today.

It's funny to think that at Disney's California Adventure, they're currently putting the finishing touches on "The World of Color," a fountain water effects show that promises to be amazing. Today, however, it was Mother Nature's world of color that was truly amazing.

James Turns 15,000 Days Old Today

Okay, it appears I've come to the end of another long break in the James & Tim blog. I've been wanting to get back to blogging again, and now that I'm not working, I literally have no more excuses.

So what better way to kick-off my new blogging activity than with a blogpost celebrating my 15,000th birthday! Yep, according to the nifty Alternative Birthday Calendar, today marks my 15,000th day since I was born.

What's the next milestone after this you ask? (Well, besides my 42nd birthday, obviously). Next up is my 400,000-hour birthday, which will be October 20, 2014. Keep an eye out for the invitations!
