My eyes sighed when I saw your islands, Buffy.....
You owe me an island or two, or a park. You have been dormant for too long. The last time you share your island was almost a year ago, the 10th island, Spring theme. I believe. Let's see it again waggintail, please please.
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.

Buffy is a good decorator. So is crumble608. Their parks are always fun to visit. Mine are not nearly as pretty because I want to have as many dragons displayed as possible and all habitats readily available to viewing by guests, so I do the largest sized habitats and paths instead of rocks and trees. The other reason mine aren't as pretty is because, sadly, I do not have the artistic eye. I think ElektronX ended up with mine, but I won't complain because she so generously shares her amazing sketches with the rest of us.
You know, you said you don't have the artistic eye, but you look at things differently. The 11th Island on your Dad's old acct, how you played with the paths, dropped the Water habitat in the middle, and the rock. I smiled when I saw that...if only we have a mermaid sitting on that rock.
You colored outside the line. It looks darn good to me.

Awesome work, Buffy. Favourite island is "Life of the Park".
I was going to make the suggestion of swapping out Island themes on your Seasonal park as the year progresses, but I see the corner of it one of your other images with the Christmas theme, so that has obviously already occurred to you. I will be shamelessly stealing that idea, and setting up a Seasonal only island, changing themes as their habitats do. Will have to think about what themes best match which season.
Although now, I want BFS to create a Seasonal Theme that does the work for us. Surely epic themes are something they are thinking about.
Setting up the only Seasonal island idea is not an original idea, many DV players prob thought about it before me.
Let me add my praises to the chorus, Buffy! Your islands are wonderful. I want to be a little visitor & spend a few days wandering around them, esp your Japanese island. So lovely and peaceful. It's hard to choose a favorite island when they are all so well done, but certainly your seasonal island & Aurora island are in the running. Thank you for sharing!
Buffy, your islands are truly a sight to be seen. I really don't know which one I like the best. I visit your park from time to time just to see how things are going and to check your wonderful ideas. My islands are not near as beautiful, because I'm terrible at decorating. Regardless, they are very dear to me, after all the time and hard work collecting dragons, pedestals, decorations and the event prizes.
Of course, they are! I am very sure, you have echoed many members' sentiments about their parks, including mine.
I like your park, and meant to mention for so long...
You would have all the habitats on the outskirt of the island, space in the middle where you placed different decos, surrounded w/ paths. It reminded me of so many famous Squares in the world i.e St. Peter's Square, Times Square, Trafalgar Square, Grand Place, etc etc...

Thanks, Buffy. You are very kind. I try to place the habitats so that I can easily see all the dragons. I'm not really pleased with the layout of my park. I'm trying to make some changes so it looks better. Now I'm FOYing some dragons to have more variety, some cute little babies to look at. But I only do this if I also have an adult on display, because I prefer to show them all grown up.

Really happy with my gorgeous avatar by ElektronX! GCID: Andr3i4 Any and all friends for Cooperative Breeding are welcome. Gladly accepting any twins also.
Happy to get this out just before the next event starts. Will certainly be doing some redecorating and a new park tour if the next event takes place at night with all the pretty lights and what not. Changes since last tour ...
Omnitat on my Landing Island host to the Vernal dragons and the appropriate decorations on display. Plant theme on my Seasonal habitat now that spring has sprung, and the Monolith habitats have been placed there for want of a better home. Island 12 is now my pedestal island with them all arranged in alphabetical order, from Abyss to Zombie. Luminous crystals used as place markers for those I am missing, a small rock to mark the place of Kairos and heaps of paths amongst them all for the ease of the visitors and to allow for expansion as new dragons are released. And the visitors really do love walking amongst them. This being an Easter event, I zoomed in on all my islands when capturing the images so you can see the visitors on all the islands, and most importantly all the Easter Eggs that were there in the final days of the hunt. Find them all, if you dare ..

Always is so beautiful! And another tour! Wow, that's awesome!
No longer active on DragonVale! *briefly back online*
Just was on facebook DV Fan Page and many of the players have posted their very beautiful parks during the Star-Fall event, really artistic, I love them all!! Parks On FaceBook
Celebrating Over Two Years of Dragonvale 6/19/2015 Lvl 70 w/ 232 Dragons/222 eggs displayed follow Dragonmuse on Google+ for daily updates
And here's my park after collecting all the rewards of the Starfall Event. I edited the AstralSpire/Starfall Island to show all the rewards sparkling and all the stars lit. Changes since last tour ...
Meridiem Habitat on my Landing Island for this event seemed more appropriate than the Omnitat, and it's hosting a collection of moon dragons. I now have the Twilight Tower and the Weather Station, and they are living side by side on my Cold Island. There are a few more pedestals on Island 12 and to keep things interesting, some of my screen shots are from a visiting account so there are 3 party hats to spot amongst the islands.

Fletch_smf, what do you use to create these? They look really good.
Thank you, sir. I use photoshop, but no doubt there are plenty of other programs available.
They are fairly labour intensive, though. I "share" all my islands, which I have to do twic, top and bottom. Then I match up the edges essentially starting at the Event Island, and work my way down, left and right. I delete the duplicated parts of the islands, trying to make sure I don't cover up any dragons, or duplicate any of them (in fact if you go back a couple you will see I messed up Kairos, who is both flying and sitting on his perch, lol). Then I have to delete the background off every picture, nearly 30 of them, because other wise the bg is hodge podgy of the screen shots. Like in my very first attempt.
and then I just stretch out the new game BG to fit. Oh, it's also a park share, scrolled all the way to the top right so you can't see any islands. then if required, I put in any zoom in shots of visitors, eggs or whatever needs doing.

Thanks Fletch_smf_smf! I have wondered how you did that so well, ENORMOUS undertaking! You should know that I greatly appreciate that view. I *bow* to you sir - what a labor of love!
iOS GCID EuroKnuter Friends ALWAYS welcome, but I'm full for GT buddies =) Rockin' an ElektronX Jet Icon!

Would be a lot easier if BFS allowed us to zoom out wouldn't it!

That is very amazing.
I see you got one small stone left over for the next event? Can't miss those two event currency units!
