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.

Honk, honk, ,honk, honk

These geese at Spanish Springs were quite upset that we didn't have any food for them and they let us know what they thought of us! "Honk, honk, honk honk!"

Singer at Sumter Landing

As I've said before, both hometowns (Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing) offer entertainment nightly in the town square. This young lady was the lead singer of a small group playing to a large crowd at Sumter Landing.

Cigar and wine shop

You can buy either fine wines or fine cigars in this shop in Sumter Village. You can also smoke cigars inside the shop.

Johnny Rockets - Sumter Landing

Johnny Rockets, located across from the square in Sumter Landing, is designed as a 60s style diner. We have not eaten there, but it does look appealing.
