Pond and ducks - Spanish Springs

This photo, as you can tell, is very old. It was taken in 1936. Nah, I'm just kidding. It's been aged in Photoshop.

Red golf car in Brownwood

As you may have guessed, most of those living in The Villages are extremely "conservative" politically.

Las Tapas - Brownwood

Las Tapas is a relatively new operation in Brownwood - it is a Spanish tapas bar, a restaurant and a brewery.

We decided to give it a try not long ago and were somewhat disappointed.  As you can see, very few people were present.  Our waitress was harried about something and as a result the service was dismal.  Dismal could also be applied to the food.

Perhaps Las Tapas was just having a bad day.

Bait Shack - Lake Sumter Landing

Each of the "Hometowns" in The Villages have "bait shacks" in the downtown squares. Usually, the bait shacks offer 2 for 1 drinks from 5 to 7 pm. They call that "Happy Hour." Often by 7:00, lots of folks have become quite "happy."

Bleu Boat

Favorite photo from 2014 is theme for January 1, 2015.  This blue boat in the fog at Lake Sumter Landing is my favorite.
