Shingle Creek Regional Park
The Shingle Creek Regional Park offers a unique blend of nature
and history in a setting quietly hidden within an urban area.
Approximately 200 acres are accessible as of January 2009’s
opening. Located just minutes from the busy tourist corridor of
U.S. Highway 192, the park is in the middle of a destination that
offers a myriad of accommodations with direct access to the Walt
Disney World Resort as well as other local attractions. The park
will allow visitor to experience vivid encounters with a wild and
vanishing Florida. Bald eagles, wild turkey, great blue heron,
yellow-bellied slider turtles, white-tailed deer and river otters are
some of the animals that can be spotted in the area.

The Orange Blossom Song
Author: Unknown
I want to wake up in the morning,
where the orange blossoms grow.
Where the sun comes a peeping into
where I’m a sleep’n
and the songbirds sing hello.
I love the fresh air and the sunshine,
it’s good for us you know.
So I’ll make my home in Florida,
where the orange blossoms grow.
Orange Blossoms
JJ Grey & MOFRO
well I snuck to her window to leave her a note
will you come meet me at the back of the grove?
all the trees were in bloom that sweet smell in the air
we were trebling together we were young we were scared
true love is hard to find
I can smell those orange blossoms
I can see her standing here
when I smell those orange blossoms then I'm there
we swam in the lake we watched fire flies by night
she was my princess and I was her Knight
but her daddy didn't like me He ain't like how I look
he said leave that boy be and that’s all that it took
true love is hard to find
I can smell those orange blossoms
I can see her standing here
when I smell those orange blossoms
then I'm there
but I remember her vow How she wouldn't forget me
and all these years later I can't even remember her name
true love is hard to find
I can smell those orange blossoms
I can see her standing here
when I smell those orange blossoms
then I'm there
where did she go
