Birds and rain

The Gorse Fox saw this bird strutting her stuff... couldn't resist a photo - long slender legs, long neck... gorgeous! (Not sure he'd want a peck on the cheek, however).

GF took the transfer bus to Downtown Disney - which is an area on the edge of Lake Buena Vista dedicated to merchandise: toys, Disney branded gifts, candy, ice cream, pretzels, and more restaurants than you could shake an umbrella at.

Now GF should explain that this part of Florida seems to be a series of lakes that are incidentally separated by strips of land. This seems strange at first, then around lunchtime (as the Gorse Fox was passing The House of Blues, curiously) the heavens just opened and the wam 75-80C day suddenly became a very wet 75-80C day. This is where the shaking of the umbrella would be useful (had he brought one). GF ducked into the afore-mentioned HoB and had a beer and a salad and watched the rain fall. Then as it eased off he headed back towards the transfer bus and mused that when you see the rain fall as it had the phenomenon of the lakes is not so great... indeed the presence of the land becomes surprising.
