Nighttime reflections - Lake Sumter Landing

The patriot...

...or not. A question for Veteran's Day: Does patriotism consist of waving the flag or plastering your vehicles with decals? If not, what constitutes true patriotism in any country?

Another, related question: In these tumultuous times, as the world grows smaller and we realize as never before we are all of one race, the human race, and that we depend upon each other for survival, can we justify pride of country that in any way denigrates other countries?

On a clear night ...

...you can see forever...

Coldwater Creek

The wheel is decoration. Coldwater Creek is a relatively new upscale women's clothing store in Lake Sumter Landing.

Golf car owned by a University of Florida "Gators" fan!

Ice cream can make one tipsy!

The Bait Shack - Lake Sumter Landing

This is one of two such places located on Market Square in Lake Sumter Landing where you can buy alcoholic and other drinks to enjoy while listening to live music or just sitting and watching the sunset. "Happy Hour," I believe, is between 5 and 6 pm, and during that time you get two drinks for the price of one.
