The Catholic Community of St. Timothy - Spanish Springs

Two days ago, in the early evening, we wandered around Spanish Springs in The Villages. The sun was setting as we came to the Roman Catholic Community of St. Timothy. Lois Anne took the second shot to catch the setting sun reflected in the row of windows of the parish hall (left).

We were not able to get inside, but perhaps we can do that another time.

Setting sun at Nancy Lopez' Legacy Golf & Country Club

This photo was taken by Lois Anne.

Both of these photos were shot at Nancy Lopez's Legacy in The Villages a couple of evenings ago. Ms. Lopez's Legacy consists of a fine restaurant, golf course, swimming pool with bar, and tennis courts.

Sunset over the yardarm - Sumter Landing

A yardarm (I think that's what they call this) has been built on the dock at Sumter Landing. When the sun began to set I took this photo.

Small pond at Spanish Springs

This beautiful little pond is located in the Spanish Springs hometown.

Spanish Springs hometown

Nothing like an old covered wagon to set the mood. It's what is called a buckboard, I think. This sits directly across from the square in the Spanish Springs hometown. Lois Anne is the photographer in the picture.

Main Street - Sumter Landing

This is the main street coming into the Sumter Landing hometown. It consists mainly of professional (not retail) businesses. I have exercised artistic license and given the photograph a "comic book" look.

Relax and watch the people

This is what I call a "slice of life" photo...these folks are gathered at the Sumter Landing Square for an evening concert...but notice they seem to be more interested in other things - one person's on the phone, others are chatting, some are talking about their dogs...

The Waterfront Inn - Sumter Landing

The Waterfront Inn fronts Lake Sumter, which is not surprising. It is quite beautiful.

Shopping in Sumter Landing

Along the main street in Sumter Landing are numerous shops and restaurants. This photo looks down one section of shops toward the square and the lake.

Looking back at Sumter Landing

Lois Anne took this photo from the boardwalk area of Sumter Landing, looking back at some the buildings near the downtown square.

One more red phone booth

Two or our fellow bloggers have posted red telephone booths in the past couple of weeks, so I thought I'd put mine up, too. This one is found in Spanish Springs, behind the old sales office. I have no clue where it came from. It is not representative of phone booths in this country.

Sumter Landing radio station

Both the Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs downtown areas include radio stations. This is the radio shack which houses the radio station at Sumter Landing.

Up The Creek Fish Camp & Grill at Sumter Landing

The Up The Creek Fish Camp & Grill sits next to Lake Sumter, and diners may eat outside overlooking the water. The gentleman sitting on the stool is a greeter, who is there to welcome you to this particular culinary experience.
