This is the first weekend of the Epcot Flower & Garden Show 2026 and we headed down to take a look at the flowers and try some of the food choices; here are some photos:

Misty mornings
This time of year we get hot afternoons and cool overnights, triggering a lot of mist in the early morning. These pics are from my walk along the West Orange Trail this morning:
These photos were from a couple days ago, down at Apopka Lake / Newton Park:
Manatees at Blue Spring State Park (again again)
We’ve had a couple of cold-for-Florida mornings and today started at 38f (4c); the Manatees swim in to warm springs in weather like this so we headed to Blue Spring State Park – where there were 500+ for us to try and see. It’s not too hard to spot the Manatees as shadows in the water, and sometimes a nose will pop up to breath, but it’s quite hard to photograph them … but this is what I captured for you (after a lot of deleting!)
Here also is one video:
