An owl to scare away pigeons and gulls

On the fence surrounding the Waterfront Inn's swimming pool sits a majestic owl. It is supposed to scare away pigeons and gulls so they don't poop in the pool. Unfortunately, fake owls don't scare away pigeons and gulls. A vice principal tried this at a school where I taught. The pigeons sat on the owl's head!

Gators at RJ Gator's

In Lake Sumter Landing, you can dine at RJ Gator's, which offers good food and good service. The only problem is you have to share your booth with a gator!

No vacancy!

This is one of the places you might go to arrange for a "vacation property" in Cedar Key. The only trouble is, as you can see by the sign, they have no vacancies.

Come, sit, let us reason together about the reason for the "No Fishing" sign here in Lake Sumter Landing...

So, who are you lookin' at?

St. Augustine Lighthouse

I recently read that this lighthouse might be haunted. By whom I don't know. It didn't seem haunted to us, though.

The famous lighthouse at Lake Sumter Landing also houses a restaurant. Here's a night view...

Happy New Year!

We're back...sort of. While we have moved "successfully" across town, we're still inundated by "stuff" and the trials and tribulations (and joys) of moving into a new place, along with the various responsibilities of selling an "old" house.

So, posting will be sporadic at best for awhile.

But, we wanted to thank all of our special friends in the photoblogging world for wishing us well at Christmas and giving us such great support during our move. We deeply appreciate your concern and your kind words.

In return and in gratitude, we send our best wishes to each of you for a wonderful New Year!

Amidst the Christmas fun

Our Golden Retriever, Haley, visiting our daughter in Davie, Florida, got plumb worn out by all the "fun"!
