Be Back Soon!

New Halloween art from cK in 2013!

Hersheypark Happy ~ Storm Runner

Had a blast visiting Hersheypark the other day, and I'm not even a chocolate person. It's all about the rides for me. I hadn't been to Hersheypark since the early 90's and they have eleven roller coasters now. The 1st roller coaster I rode was Storm Runner and was my favorite!

CK is taking a break...

I've started a new full time retail job and will be taking a break from my art for the next month or so.

 I still have many vonderful art goodies available at my Etsy shop and my EHAG Emporium art is available exclusively at my Le Lab ~ Art Shoppe blog.

~ Disney Magic Kingdom & Epcot ~

Too bad my eyes were closed...

The second portion of our trip in Florida had us spending two days at Disney World. The first day we went to Magic Kingdom which was very busy due to it being a holiday (Columbus Day). The whole park was Halloween'ed up with orange banners & Mickey Mouse pumpkins everywhere. Of course the first attraction we hit was Space Mountain which is always a blast. I did not realize they did a major renovation of Space Mountain in 2009 and added an additional track. The Haunted Mansion was even better than I remembered from my last trip in the late 1980's. Epcot was wonderful as well and I really enjoyed "Captain EO" and "Mission Space."













I had so much fun in Florida I did not want to come back to Maryland. The mid 80 degree blue skies and pool time will be missed. Back to Fall...well at least we have Halloween to look forward to soon!

Vacation Pictures (Part 2) ~ Luray Caverns

Welcome to the 2nd portion of my vacation @ the magical "Luray Caverns" in Virginia. WOW ~ This was by far my favorite day trip last week. I could not even wrap my head around the fact these natural wonders are thousands of years old. We were informed that the stalactite formations grow 1 inch every 100 years. The air was so pure and cool underground.

Note: The 2nd picture below shows the reflections of the above formations in a very still pool of water underneath. An interesting optical illusion in person...it appears the formations are growing up from the floor beneath. Until you realize water is there in very slight ripples.

One of the coolest places (literally) I have ever visited! Enjoy :-)

Vacation Pictures (Part 1) ~ Longwood Gardens

My partner & I made our yearly trip to "Longwood Gardens" in Pennsylvania last week. Missed the roses again this year which are in full bloom in June. I sprained my left knee jogging in June and was recovering from that all month. Everything else was simply gorgeous and I will let the pictures speak for themselves.









PS: I'm hoping to make another trip in the Fall (beginning of October). Longwood does a great harvest theme with pumpkins EVERYWHERE. Enjoy! :-)

Vacation!

~ Longwood Gardens ~

My partner and I took the second part of our vacation last weekend and visited Longwood Gardens in PA. WOW ~ What a beautiful botanical garden and fun place to visit. I wanted to share some of my favorite sights, we took SO many pictures. If you notice, I picked the ones that definitely had a SpOOky flair! LOL '-)

IF you get a chance and are in the area, Longwood Gardens is a MUST see!

Enjoy! :-)

Spooky CK
