It's nice to have a friend who's wide awake

This poor anhinga was all alone on the boat...or so he thought...



And then his little friend came to life!



It was very foggy this morning in Lake Sumter Landing...so, naturally, we'll be posting a number of "foggy" pictures in the days ahead...

Locks - Lake Sumter Landing


Don't ask. I really don't know the purpose of these locks other than to lend a certain ambiance to the downtown Lake Sumter area. But then, this little canal does flow into Lake Sumter...

Happy Harry's in St. Augustine


Happy Harry's, on the waterfront in St. Augustine, is a nice place to kick back and enjoy good food and a drink.

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!
