Ever since I was a little girl I have adored tigers, in particular bengal tigers. I don’t know how old I was, maybe 10 – 12 years old, I had a glow-in-the-dark velvet poster of a tiger hanging over my bed. Ah, those were the days. And – I ate Frosted Flakes for breakfast. (Please tell me you get the connection.)
Today I was at Disney’s Animal Kingdom meeting up with someone I’ve had an online connection with, but hadn’t met in person yet. Allison from Texas and I have been communicating through Twitter and Facebook for several months and today we finally said hello – face-to-face.
After spending time saying hello, I used the next 30 -minutes in the park (before my next conf. call) to head over to see my tiger friends. Last time I was there I captured a great shot of one yawning. I was hoping for the same spontaneous photo moment today. While the “action” shot didn’t happen, I still managed to take some great pictures of these magnificent beasts.
Aren’t they just gorgeous creatures? And to think I’m a dog person. Huh.
Have a tiger-riffic weekend!
OMG, I cannot believe the two of you met “in person!” How great. I have been talking to Allison all week. She was really excited about this trip. Every time I posted more of my Epcot Flower Festival pics, she would write.
Weren’t there like 17 of them going/coming?
Man…you took some excellent photography today girl! Good shots!
Here’s a giddy thank you on the pics. Those animals are so beautiful I don’t think anyone could ever take a bad photo of them.
Yes – meeting Allison was so much fun. She is just a doll online. She indeed had a magical gathering with her – a really nice family weekend.
Thanks again for the goodies and meeting up with me! I truly felt honored to meet you. I have been a huge fan of the Moms Panel. I think it is an amazing tool for anyone planning a trip, and to think that I got to meet one of the wonderful people behind it.
As promised, I blogged about our little meet up today.
