VP said...: Nice place, why it is so desert? A gators raid?; August 28, 2009 at 3:01 AM
Leif Hagen said...: Any place with PALM trees, is a great place! I guess the Waterfront Inn would qualify! Nice snaps! Did they use your photos for a promo brochure??!; August 28, 2009 at 5:54 AM

Lowell said...: @ Safe Leif - We've done professional photography before, and a couple of years ago, we were trying to keep a small business together...we took some nice photos of this inn and the manager wanted to use them in a brochure. We said, fine, you can do that for $10.

Never heard back!!! (The $10 was, I thought, a rather nominal fee...and we could show a bit of income)...but noooooooo....

People are funny, as Art Linkletter used to say!; August 28, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Lowell said...: @ VP - I took these a couple of days ago. It was mid-morning; hot; and a weekday. Summer is not a busy time for The Villages. While there were a lot of folks driving back and forth through town, the streets were very quiet.

As things cool down, and the "snowbirds" come back from the north, the place will rock!; August 28, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Lowell said...: @ Bibi - I don't think that's a kitty. I think that is one of those faux owls perched there to keep the pigeons and seagulls away...

I don't think it works very well. The administrators of a school where I taught tried that one time. Put these faux owls around the roof of the building. The pigeons perched on the heads of the faux owls!; August 28, 2009 at 10:05 AM
EG CameraGirl said...: Looks like a very pleasant place to stay. It always interests me when a place on a lake also has a pool. ;-); August 28, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Lowell said...: @ EG - But you wouldn't want to swim in this lake...so the pool is necessary! Unless, of course, you're on friendly terms with gators...; August 28, 2009 at 10:16 AM

cieldequimper said...: Looks like it's a nice place. I have had a not so nice experience with an establishment called Waterfront in WA... So now I'm wary.; August 28, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Lowell said...: @ Lake Weir - Sure. I use Photoshop 3 and LightZone. Gotta tweak your photos! I used to do it all in the darkroom; now I can do it faster and easier in the computer! :-); August 28, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Pretty nice looking - Is that a kitty cat on the railing around the swimming pool?; August 28, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Lowell said...: @ Tricia - About that "kitty cat" - read my response to Bibi above...it's a hoot! ;-); August 28, 2009 at 4:10 PM
