One-legged legstand


The one-legged legstand did not last long...a mighty wind blew up and almost blew this Egret off it's ropey perch!

Abandoned house - north central Florida

Enjoying drinks and the view


This place was known as the Captain's Table for years. Now it's changed hands and is called Coconuts. I know from personal experience it is a delightful spot to enjoy a frozen Margarita.

Barnes & Noble - Lake Sumter Landing


A night view of part of the front facade of the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Lake Sumter Landing...posterized.

This photo will also enlarge by clicking on it.

Church of the unknown - north central Florida


Located at the intersection of two rural lanes in north central Florida, this church seems to have no identity. At least I couldn't find a name. Probably Baptist. I thought it was cute and I especially liked the bell off to the left.

Another photog wandering about Cedar Key


I don't know this person. She was crouched down on the pier shooting upward at the boat. Probably trying for an artsy shot. Then she left, which was a good thing, or I would have had to chase her off. I mean, c'mon, I was trying to take a picture, too! ;-) I never saw her again.

Go "click" on the pic and it will get bigger.

The Sabal Trust Company (Lake Sumer Landing)


Would you entrust your financial security to a trust company that is located in what appears to be a replica of an old school building? Of course! It's a beautiful building, located in downtown Lake Sumter Landing. I'd go inside but I'm afraid I'd learn something.

Frog's Landing (on the Dock)


The last time we were in Cedar Key, the Frog's Landing was doing a booming business! The restaurant has a mostly seafood menu that looks very good. They also serve a drink called a "frogarita," which I intend to try the next time we're in town.

You can learn more by clicking here.

The lighthouse at Lake Sumter Landing


Most of our shots of this lighthouse have been taken from across the lake. It looks a bit different up close. You may also recall that the lighthouse building also includes a very popular restaurant which we have yet to patronize.

For some reason, this photo will increase in size if you go "click" on it.

We are very busy selling our house and moving to another part of town. If the past couple days are indicative of what lies ahead, I'll probably be able to only post and comment sporadically for the next few weeks. But I will do the best I can because I hate to miss all the great photos of our CDP friends!

Les Chefs de France


One of the restaurants in "France" at Epcot. And this photo will also embiggen if you click on it!

The back of the Dock


Another view of the back of the Dock from the new pier. The photo has been given a sketcy/watercolor effect.

It will enlarge if you click on the photo.

Golf cars at Lake Sumter Landing


Golf cars are the main mode of transportation in The Villages. As you can see, they are versatile - you can park 'em head first or you can back 'em in. This photo was treated with a Triqui colored sketch effect. And it will enlarge if you click on it.

The Rainbow River at Rainbow Springs


Shot with a Nikon F4s, Fuji Velvia 50 film. This one will grow bigger if you click on it!

Backing out of Thai Ruby


Although we haven't eaten at Thai Ruby's (Lake Sumter Landing) yet, we hear the food is very good. So, we'll visit soon. I think this gentleman ate his full, and is backing out his golf car to return to his home in the Lake Sumter Landing area.

The photo will get larger if you dare click on it.
