It's nice to have a friend who's wide awake

This poor anhinga was all alone on the boat...or so he thought...



And then his little friend came to life!



It was very foggy this morning in Lake Sumter Landing...so, naturally, we'll be posting a number of "foggy" pictures in the days ahead...

Locks - Lake Sumter Landing

Don't ask. I really don't know the purpose of these locks other than to lend a certain ambiance to the downtown Lake Sumter area. But then, this little canal does flow into Lake Sumter...

An owl to scare away pigeons and gulls

On the fence surrounding the Waterfront Inn's swimming pool sits a majestic owl. It is supposed to scare away pigeons and gulls so they don't poop in the pool. Unfortunately, fake owls don't scare away pigeons and gulls. A vice principal tried this at a school where I taught. The pigeons sat on the owl's head!

Gators at RJ Gator's

In Lake Sumter Landing, you can dine at RJ Gator's, which offers good food and good service. The only problem is you have to share your booth with a gator!

Happy New Year!

We're back...sort of. While we have moved "successfully" across town, we're still inundated by "stuff" and the trials and tribulations (and joys) of moving into a new place, along with the various responsibilities of selling an "old" house.

So, posting will be sporadic at best for awhile.

But, we wanted to thank all of our special friends in the photoblogging world for wishing us well at Christmas and giving us such great support during our move. We deeply appreciate your concern and your kind words.

In return and in gratitude, we send our best wishes to each of you for a wonderful New Year!
