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.
