Day 301

Saturday, October 26, 2013

The Dailylife Wife, Friends Robyn and Walter, and I trucked on down to Helena early yesterday to have breakfast at iHop.  Then we cleaned out Costco and headed home on the frontage road to see the fall colors before the planned blizzard.  This was the scene in the Helena Valley when we got there.  The […]

Day 299

Monday, October 21, 2013

One of my Camera Club entries this month’s contest, category: Autumn.  Taken with the new lens.  And of course, Toots is naturally photogenic… (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO400 70mm Canon 7D) I have several similar to this.  It was hard to pick one! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 287: It’s A Small…AARRGGHH!

Sunday, October 20, 2013

After Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride Lugnut and I wandered up toward Toontown again.  He thought It’s A Small World looked interesting. These photos are taken from the steam train…we are actually OVER the ride looking out! (All photos taken on a Nikon CoolpixP7100) Here the ride is off to the right.  The strange clocktower looking […]

Day 290

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

After we exited the Monorail in Tomorrowland, we walked by the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage (formerly the Submarine Voyage), complete with annoying (Mine! Mine!) seagulls.  No need to import them from Australia! I don’t know why Lugnut wasn’t interested in the Sub ride, but he declined the offer to ride in it. ~Curtis from Kalifornia […]

Day 289

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

After Lunch Lugnut and I headed for…the Monorail! The Monorail loops around 2.5 miles of Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney.  It starts at one of the two stations: Tomorrowland or Downtown Disney.  Then it loops through the trees and alongside of the main street OFF of the Disney property, across the “Disney Transit Center” […]

Day 284

Sunday, October 13, 2013

Meanwhile, back on the Railroad…we entered the tunnel to see a diorama of the Grand Canyon (not closed for the Government Shutdown!) This is the World’s Longest handpainted diorama, or something like that, and is original to the opening of Disneyland! There are lots of Grand Canyon type animals, here, the only actual taxidermied critters […]

Day 282

Sunday, October 13, 2013

Back to Lugnut and the Railroad shortly. This is where we stayed, the Anaheim Residence Inn Maingate, or something like that.  It was within walking distance to Disneyland, but since all you do there is walk anyway, we got bus passes.  It was sure nice, once you have dragged yourself back to the Disney Gate […]

Day 282

Friday, October 11, 2013

I got an Honorable Mention last night at Camera Club for my summer photo of Indian Ponies! (1/640s f/8.0 ISO100 42.6mm (35mm eq:200mm) -2/3 stop Nikon P7100) This was previously posted on Day 190, but I like it, so here it is again! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 281: The Disneyland Railroad!

Friday, October 11, 2013

We all saddled on up to the Frontierland Station to take a ride on the steam cars.  Nothing that way! (All photos on the Nikon Coolpix P7100 or Olympus PEN PL2)) “Well, I’ll just wait right here until…” “What’s THAT?” “YUP!  It is!” “It is coming!” Toots and DD#2 On Board! Nana too! Lugnut had […]
