Aerial overview of areas near Shrek's house in DreamWorks land. Easy to see now how there will be a landscaping separation with the E.T. ride. The lush greenery will also blend into the forested scenes of the E.T. ride.

Silhouette of Ospreys in twilight, at a nest across the street from Hogwarts. Osprey in flight stepped up from the nest, caught the wind, then flew toward Islands of Adventure. Possibly for a fish dinner. Osprey at right quickly stepped into the nest. Likely to keep eggs warm.
At center is a tree trunk in the Port of Entry theming. Tree trunk is a cousin of the soon-to-open Shrek's house in DreamWorks land.
Seems like the refurbishment of the New York skyline is complete in Universal Studios Florida. These are flat panels at different depths. The murals on the panels are replaced periodically due to weathering.
Work on the new Universal lagoon night time show continues to be paused. Underneath this mirror glass surface is the new show platform and maybe 40% of the final staging.
Broken window panes above the exit of the Mardi Gras Tribute Store. One broken pane seen here, another is below.
A roof in progress in DreamWorks land. There's a cat and fishbones weather vane on the roof peak (sighting is blocked by a tree branch).

Current work at a raised structure in the DreamWorks land play area. Commonly called "the outhouse" in social media, due to the decoration of the door. An actual outhouse is over a hole in the ground, and this is up in the air. This also has a partial door.
Latest work in a developing area in DreamWorks land.
