It's Disneyland Resort!

 

Surprised?

The first seven photos were taken at Disneyland; the glen and log cabin are on the backside of Frontierland and the irises are right next to Moby Dick's yawning mouth at Storybook Land! 

The rest were taken across the way at Disney California Adventure (DCA). Take a look at the vineyard shot again; it's nestled just below Grizzly Mountain.  See the bear's profile?  Here's another view. The Brussels sprout plant, almond tree and scarecrow can be found at the Bountiful Valley Farm.

A thumbs up to the hardworking, talented landscaping crew for transforming a vast concrete parking lot into beautiful California landscapes at DCA.  The California poppies and lupines thoroughly delighted us.  A joyful preview of what's to come in Big Bear!

Our springtime appetites have been whetted. Has yours?  Get out there and see, feel, touch, smell and listen to Spring!  

Spring is bustin' out all over.
