Live web cam in Spanish Springs town square
We've posted pictures of this building before, but not at this angle. If you look at the top right of the building you will see what looks a bit like a light, but in reality is a web cam...it brings you a live view of what is happening in the area of the Spanish Springs town square.
If you're interested, click here.
At night, of course, it is difficult to see clearly. But note also, you can click below the picture to get a live view of the Lake Sumter Landing town square. I'm not sure where the Sumter Landing camera is.

Grouper Therapy dock
In Cedar Key, when things get stressful, you can participate in Group(er) Therapy...which means, of course, you take a ride out on the water in a nice vessel to fish for grouper! Here's where you pay your money and catch the boat: A nice WOODEN dock, with flags with WOODen staffs, and even some driftWOOD!
The theme for Feb. 1 is wood! (Please excuse the plastic chairs!)

Oblivious
They might be small and they might be cute, but you don't want get hit by a speeding golf car - especially if it is driven by a little old lady rushing to meet her friends for an "early bird" dinner in Spanish Springs!

The sinking ship in the morning fog
This ship, which continues to slowly sink into Lake Sumter, is found at Lake Sumter Landing. Not to worry, though. Remember this is a "Disneyesque" world and it is meant to do that!
