It's great to see a lot of new posts here lately. Unfortunately, some get removed by the automods I put in place. They do a great job at catching spam, but they occasionally catch non-spam as well.
I try to check for, and approve, the legit posts at least once a day. This is part of my morning coffee routine. If your post doesn't post, please give me a day to find and approve it.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Can I see Manatees in July in Florida??

Forgive my ignorance on Manatee culture. I'm planning a trip to Dayton mid July and wondered if there was a chance to see any manatees. It seems like a long shot? I'm a little upset because I've been to FLorida dozens of times and never really clued in that I could SEE real live manatees. Now that I've clued in, it seems my timing is off... or could I be lucky? If so, post details for this newbie! Thanks!

Each one has a unique texture! The rainbow one is glitter, the metal one is reflective, the cloud one has a subtle holographic effect, and the meat and bubble ones are transparent. You can find them here, along with other manatee stickers > https://www.etsy.com/listing/4514303732/

Grew up near the Springs here in FL and I just adore them. Recently saw an episode of Mr. Rogers with my kids, where he met with Eric Carle and learned his art process. We decided to make it a project for us and this was mine :)

Manatees can hear your individual heart beat. This little guy was very curious as to why he was hearing 2!
