#ButterflyTopiary : International Flower and Garden Festival in EPCOT

My husband and I were at EPCOT in #DisneyWorld last Thursday to see the #InternationalFlowerandGardenFestival which is presented by #HGTV. My goodness, fun is in bloom indeed. We love taking the monorail because it is really cool to see part of EPCOT up above the monorail tracks. The first blooms that I saw was the garden near the Tinker Bell's Butterfly Garden. It was so colorful and the Disney Character topiaries are gigantic so it was beautiful and visible up above.

We decided to stay in Future World and take 3 rides. I already reserved my fast pass online but, since hubby can't get his fast pass, we took the standby. We won't be long anyway coz we get tired from walking around so; I  told hubby that we will stay in Future World and take the photos of Topiaries and the garden display at the entrance. We will be back next time before the festival ends.

As we were walking towards the Tinker Bells's Butterfly Garden, this giant Butterfly Topiary caught my eyes. Such a gorgeous display don't you think? There are over a 100 topiary displays in Epcot. Some topiaries are favorite Disney Characters and some are seasonal topiaries so; every year is truly different. We did not go to World Showcase.

It is spring break so; it is super crowded in Disney World.  All the rides have 30 to 80 minutes stand by , crazy right? If you plan to visit Disney World, get your ticket ahead of time and reserve your fast pass online or on your cellphone.  You save time and your energy will not be wasted with the queue. With our case, it is alright because we have a yearly pass and we can visit anytime on weekdays and in any parks. We can take the standby of 30 max. When we went to Soarin' Attraction, the wait time is 80 minutes LOL. We did not go. We took the Land instead and it was pretty interesting.

The Amazing topiary displays are in the World Showcase area. I will take photos of the topiaries in that area on our next visit. I really wanted to go there alone though LOL. My husband hates to walk from pavilion to pavilion. Goodness! LOL!

Yep, for now , I am sharing this butterfly display.  I took more photos inside the Tinker Bell's butterfly garden. If you love flowers, I use the zoom feature of my camera phone and take photos to some blooms and the flowers are all pretty.

I hope you enjoyed viewing the butterfly display. Do you think you can you make this art work in your garden? Thanks for stopping by. Come back tomorrow for another exciting and interesting photos. have a great day!

Beautiful Traditional Crafts

Such a great art don't you think? The photo below is a beautiful ceramic tile which is an imported product from New Zealand. This beautiful country is rich in culture and it shows in their art work. New Zealand is blessed with growing numbers of great artists who do traditional crafts in carving, painting and weaving. The subject of their art works are usually depicts figures of humans and animals. But, when it comes to surface patterns, their subject consists of spirals and ridges. They somehow use bold colors and nature inspired pieces of art.

Here's another interesting product showcasing birds and nature. New Zealand is best known for the flightless Kiwi, weka as well as the endangered kakapo which is the world's largest parrot. Since this country is home to beautiful mountains, green countryside and a haven for unique plants and animals, birds and nature are common subjects used in the artist's canvas.

When you check out the Possum Merino Clothing, you will observe that most products are a reflection of their culture by showcasing the Pacific and Maori images. Do you like Greenstone Jewelry? You can also Buy Greenstone in New Zealand. Their Merino Baby Clothes, t-shirts, rugs, posters and cards have the images of birds and nature. Their people are nationalistic and proud of their heritage.

Wool has been one of New Zealand’s major agricultural exports that is why; when you check out their products, you still find sheepskin and great wool bedding's. Overtaking the wool export is the dairy and wine which became New Zealand's largest export earner at present.

New Zealand is home to unique species of animals and plants so; if you are a nature and animal lover, this country will surely fit your lifestyle. New Zealand has diverse natural beauty of jagged mountains and rolling pasture lands. If raging rivers, scenic beaches, and active volcanic zones are exciting for you then; you should visit New Zealand and learn to diversity of their culture.

Would you like to live in New Zealand? If you love the outdoors and wanted to live in a mild and temperate climate, New Zealand is for you. If you move there, make sure that your place has excellent Home Insulation. This is such a better way to live a healthy and energy efficient home for you and your family.

Sculptures of Sean Corner

Four of us in the family went to the Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. That Festival featured local artists who come from different States in the US. Some showed their artwork, special unique decor, wood carvings and many more. Of course, there were food display which were unique recipes of Mississippi.

Here is the space of Sean, the gifted Sculpture Artist.

The most admired area is the space of Sean Corner, a very gifted artist. Here he is, I presumed that he is Sean Corner because he is doing art pieces on the spot. Here are the wonderful art works in his gallery:

I love that art piece with two faces and a hand.

This is a product of a real gifted person right?

This art piece is just one of my favorites in his gallery.

There is no price tag in any of these art work. We did not bother to ask the owner too.
