eyes stare in wonder

     enchanted kingdom beckons

Andrea Dietrich February 25, 2015 at 6:17 PM I love it. This is ME at DisneyLand!!! Paul Callus February 26, 2015 at 8:25 AM Every time I go to these fun parks I tell myself that I'll take it easy, walk around, have a drink and watch the others having fun. Somehow my plans fall apart and I get dragged into participation:)

Viv Wigley February 25, 2015 at 8:57 AM Lovely Senryu, Paul. Reminds me of the look on my daughter's face when she was ten years old arriving on Main Street at DisneyWorld's Magic Kingdom for the first time. And, though she won't admit it, my good lady.

Thank you for a lovely visit, Viv. // paul
