Sunset in a window

Walking down the main street in Lake Sumter Landing one evening, Lois Anne's eye was caught by the sun setting in the window of this women's shop as well as by the reflections of buildings and lights from across the street; so she took the photo, which I think is a winner.

Lake Sumter Landing home

One of our photo bloggers asked me to post photos of some of the homes in The Villages. That's easier said than done for almost all of the residential areas are gated. This home, however, in a non-gated area, is representative of an entire section of frame houses located near the Lake Sumter Landing downtown.

A pioneer motif?

The powers-that-be in the hometown of Spanish Springs must have decided to include a few artifacts from the "good old days" for some reason. The old cart sits on the sidewalk in front of an old door and gate, which, so far as I can tell, does not open, and if it did, would lead nowhere.

But it's all kinda cute!

Market Square Mercantile

Designed to look like an old mercantile store, Market Square Mercantile in Lake Sumter Landing sells men's and women's clothing, and accessories.

Furniture store

Lake Sumter Landing's downtown area includes a furniture store that spans a couple of blocks and includes several different type buildings with different exteriors. This is one of the entrances. From what we saw, the furnishings offered are exquisite. Probably pricey, too.
