{PHOTO} Orlando: The Boats On The Water

This past Christmas, my family stayed at the beautiful Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Studios Orlando. It had a great Italian theme, which included this water view with gondolas and boats (permanently anchored).This was looking away from the main hotel, so this was the view from most rooms there.

In the distance, you can even see a little bit of the park.

It's not as sharp as I would prefer but I was busy taking pictures of something else and then had to hurry on. As I walked I spied this scene and just put the camera at my waist and fired off three shots hoping it would capture it without cutting off his head.

I just loved the pants rolled up, thinking it was quite the story. Who knows what kind of job this man has but here, getting his shoes shined, he's gotta roll up those pants and wait.

Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort, as viewed from the dock at the Polynesian Resort. I'm not sure which is more my favorite, the smokey gray/blue against the golden lights or the silhouette effect of the lamp.

What do you think?

{PHOTO} Inspired: Had I The Heavens' Embroidered Cloths

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

- William Butler Yeats

I wonder how they don't slide off the table?

Is it your eyes - or just the alcohol talking?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
