Update (sorry, no creative title tonight LOL)

Well, I have now been in Florida for a full month!!!

Yesterday I got signed off at work by my trainer to be a "primary photographer" for all areas except the dolphin interaction. I am taking entry photos, which is actually pretty fun, unlike at Sea World San Diego LOL These photos are FREE and the guests haven't had to wait forever to park, then to get in through the gates. I had a lady today thank us for being so efficient! She said that they had been able to check in (which involves getting photos taken & ID lanyards made) and walked down the "nature trail" to find that we had 3 photographers waiting to be able to handle the "traffic flow" of incoming guests. I think she said it had taken 10 minutes max since they had parked to get to the photographers!

I am also taking photos in the aviary, which I really enjoy. The birds are beautiful and it's fun to watch the kids faces when they have a bird land on them and eat out of a cup in their hand. The other 3 places I'm taking photos are all IN the water. The "resort pool" which generally has a waterfall in the distant background. The reef, where the stingrays and fish are. This location is actually a bit meh, only because the guests are looking down at the water most of the time and we don't have polarizers, so you can't see anything in the water. I only got a few photos there today. The last location is the waterfall in the river at the water entrance for the aviary. At one point today I took 39 photos there in 10 minutes...it was CRAZY.

I got new sandals. They were on sale for 50% off so I only paid $32. They are comfy, but are not a quick dry footbed. I'm thinking I'm going to wear my tennis shoes in the morning for the nature trail photos in my "dry" clothes and then change into the sandals for when I'm headed to the water.

It was a good week, and I am VERY happy it is over and I have Sunday and Monday off :0) Hope you all have a good holiday weekend!
