Life has been much too busy since Labor Day and here it is, one week before Thanksgiving. Surely I am not the only one who sees time going by at warp speed!
I have finally gotten around to sorting through some of the images I captured on our Labor Day Weekend visit to Mount Dora. There are so many photographs, which I'll upload to my
Flickr account a little later, but for now, you can see why we enjoyed our visit so very much!

| Welcome to Mount Dora, located in Lake County, Florida! |
 |
| We stayed at the Lakeside Inn the entire weekend and found ourselves the only tenants on Monday night (Labor Day) as all the other guests departed. It was kind of eerie being the only guests ... |
 |
| Lake Dora is truly beautiful and is one of hundreds of lakes in this part of the state. It's big enough for boating and fishing, yet small enough to see to the other side. |
 |
| This is an old bridge/dock that is no longer in use but hasn't been torn down. |
 |
| I just liked this. So I took a picture! |
 |
| This heron? He thought I didn't see him. Ah-ha! That's what zoom lenses are for, silly! |
 |
| Idyllic, huh? I sat beneath a huge live oak dripping with spanish moss every morning during our stay. It was ever so peaceful and the wildlife kept me thoroughly entertained. |
 |
| I love the way the light shines through the heron's feathers, don't you? |
 |
| An anhinga spreads his wings to dry out ... |
 |
| We heard it before we saw it. Next time we visit Mount Dora, we're definitely going to take a ride in a hot air balloon. I've always wanted to do this! |
 |
| The reason we chose to visit Mount Dora was to see our former neighbors, Cathy and Bill. They lived down the street from us for over 20 years, then up and left town for this charming little city. I can't say as I blame them. They got twice as much house for half as much money and none of the traffic and other mayhem that comes with living in a major metropolitan area like Broward County. Yes, we've given some thought to making a similar move. Some day ... |
