Scenes at SeaWorld

A gorgeous day at SeaWorld Orlando

If you've enjoyed the images of flamingos and dolphins as well as these scenes, be sure to see tomorrow's post.  A clue:  they are black and white and wet all over.  From roller coasters to amazing marine life, this place has it all.  And, yes, since we were in Florida, I had to include a shot of some gators.  The third image shows folks enjoying (with their hands up) the thrill ride known as the Manta.  Lots of fun for all ages.

Flamingos

On a recent trip to Orlando, my husband and I spent a day at Sea World.  Although flamingos aren't one of the main attractions, their bold color and peculiar build made them quite popular for passersby.  And, for the remainder of the week, look for more shots of some pretty cool creatures.
