Mr. DAPs Photo of the Day

A Man Boating With His Dog

Returning to Santa Cruz from whale watching I saw this man on a small boat with his dog. How perfect is that I thought!? I could totally see myself doing that with my dog, who is appropriately named, Skipper. What do you think? Make it a GREAT day! – Mr. …

The Dredge Seabright

When re-entering Santa Cruz Harbor after whale watching aboard the Velocity, we came across the most interesting looking boat. It vaguely reminded me of the “snort blat” from a favorite Dr. Suess book I read as a child. What it really was though was the dredge Seabright. Since 1986, the …

Sea Lions on One Mile Buoy

There were quite a few animals to be seen besides the whales to be found while whale watching outside of Santa Cruz. Towards the beginning of our voyage, we came across some sea lions on what is called One Mile Bouy… I learned a few things about sea lions while …

Thar She Blows!

Yesterday we went whale watching. I was quite thankful that it was a 3/1/2 hour tour instead of just a 3 hour tour… About 2/1/2 hours into this tour we had seen seals, seal lions, and even a southern sea otter or two… but no whales. After visiting the SS …

SS Palo Alto

This is a photo of the SS Palo Alto. She is found just outside of Santa Cruz and I saw her today while whale watching (yes we saw a whale or two and there will be photos of those in the future). What interests me about the SS Palo Alto though is that she was …

Goofy Playing By Ear

Yesterday, I was watching Five and Dime at Disney California Adventure and I saw Goofy do something I hadn’t noticed before… he played by ear… or he played his ear… or well… you decide. It was as the string bassist was doing a string bass solo if you want context. …

Mickey and Storytellers

I snuck into Disney California Adventure for a couple of hours this morning. It was wonderfully quiet and the weather was perfect. I was also able to get this fantastic shot of Mickey Mouse and the Storytellers statue. I’ll probably have a few more photos to post from my walk …

Beauty in a Blue Dress

Here is a beauty in a blue dress. I bet when you read the headline for this post you thought it was going to be Belle? Surprise! It’s not! Instead, today I’m sharing a photo of Cinderella in Mickey’s Soundsational Parade. I captured this photo a few weeks ago and …

Dancing Country Bears

Just a couple of dancing country bears. What kind of dance is it though? What a fun moment in Frontierland on a Sunday afternoon! Make it a GREAT day! – Mr. DAPs

A Tiff at Musical Chairs

It must be hard to be friends with the Mad Hatter… occasionally a tiff arises between him and Alice at Musical Chairs. Anybody have a caption for this one? Make it a GREAT day! – Mr. DAPs
