Hello from DisneyDaniel with Photos from Travels

DisneyDaniel · 04-14-2008, 04:41 PM

Hello there! It's been a while since I've posted on Lounge of Tomorrow, or seen many of you at Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure, so I wanted to say "hi" again. While traveling on assignment for work in the past couple years, I've gone to parts of the country where wireless Internet or high-speed Internet, for that matter, is not readily available, so it's been hard to upload work-related files -- let alone find the usual luxury of time and accessibility to visit my absolute, favorite, swanky online Lounge.

The last time I saw many of the people from LoT was on Disneyland's birthday, July 17, 2007. But, I did manage to cross paths with some of you here and there, like on New Year's Eve:

Dec. 31, 2007 - DisneyDaniel, CoasterMatt, madmonkeygirl, and Bornieo: Fully Loaded meet up at the Hub in Disneyland on the morning of New Year's Eve, many hours before the Hub's crowds became wall-to-wall people later in the evening.

Dec. 31, 2007 - Bornieo: Fully Loaded was wearing the coolest, angry Mickey shirt on New Year's Eve.

But, I'm done with my share of regular travel for now and hope to go back to the norm of staying in Southern California. Also, I wanted to share with you some of the photos I've taken while on assignment as a photographer/editor/graphic designer on behalf of a group of national equestrian magazines and Websites -- see below.

I hope to revisit with many of you soon, online and in person.

Take care,
Daniel

Beezie Madden and Authentic, one of the nation's top horse/rider pairs in Show Jumping, compete at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Rosy victory at Arabian Youth Nationals.

At the peak of Show Jumping action.

Richard Spooner, the top Show Jumping rider on the West Coast, wins his 104th Grand Prix victory. Spooner is only the second U.S. rider to win more than 100 career Grand Prixs.

A champion Thoroughbred stallion in Lexington, Kentucky. This horse seamingly lives better and is worth more money than most people! The size of its luxurious barn and the daily care it receives would be the envy of many.

The Cross-Country phase of Eventing is an amazing, action-packed sport to watch, as the same horse/rider pair compete for three days in three disciplines: Cross Country, Dressage, and Show Jumping.

The spotlight shines on a flag bearer at the beginning of the 2007 FEI World Cup Finals for Dressage and Show Jumping.

U.S. rider Steffen Peters aboard Floriano delivers his Bronze-Medal winning Musical Freestyle at the 2007 FEI World Cup Dressage Finals.

What a view ... in Utah

The path home ... in Valley Center, California.

Ranch work at dusk ... in Central Texas

Springtime companions ... in Eastern Texas.

In the open country ... in Eastern Oregon.

The sun rises on a winter morning after an overnight ice storm ... in Northern Texas.

Into the pen ... at a ranch in Oklahoma.

A late-spring ride through the stream ... in Northern California.

I've not had the pleasure Daniel, but I was checking the calendar and saw you do have a birthday soon. It was you who brought the present, great photos!

I echo LSPE here, happy birthday in advance of the day!

Hope to see you on LoT much more, to see more of your pics and to maybe meet you at the hub sometime.
