Parking can be hard to find

At certain times of the day, it can be hard to find a parking place for one's golf cart in Lake Sumter Landing. That can make one late for the movie.

Winding up 18 holes

These folks are winding up 18 holes of golf on one of The Villages numerous golf course. The photo was taken from the boardwalk at Lake Sumter Landing with a long lens which compresses the distance.

Do not, I repeat, do not feed the gators!

We have spent many hours in Lake Sumter Landing walking the boardwalk and taking photos. We had never seen any gators. Until our last visit. Then, suddenly one appeared, maybe 20 yards out, casually gliding through the water, just the top of its head and part of its body visible.

I took a few photos, but it was too dark.

We did not feed it.

Customized golf car - just for you!

The golf car caught my attention immediately. I went to look and take some photos. The custom work was amazing. And it was for sale. The gentleman you see was very interested. He looked it over carefully, then wrote down the name and phone number of the owner.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he bought it. I also wouldn't be surprised if he paid somewhere around $20,000 USD for it!

A sinking ship

Lake Sumter Landing. This sinking ship is fast becoming an icon. It is not sinking fast, however. But every time we visit it seems to have taken on a bit more water.

Restored 1949 Ford

Found this jewel parked at the town square in Lake Sumter Landing. In my last year of high school, several students had bought 1949 Fords and then customized them in a variety of ways, which usually included twin exhaust pipes and lowering the rear end.

I saw a 1949 Ford convertible for sale on eBay - nicely customized. It can be yours for only $17,750 USD.

Red Sauce

The Red Sauce, in Lake Sumter Landing, is a new Italian restaurant in the same building that formerly housed another Italian restaurant, Dominig's.

Lois Anne and I ate there recently and found the food to be very good, the service excellent, and the prices reasonable.
