Tomorrow is Inauguration Day and a new President will take over leadership of the country.

But we don't always have to look for the highest office in the land for leadership. Leadership can be found right in our own cities, towns, and communities.

There are a number of civic and social organizations, may it be a property owners association, a club of some sort, a crimewatch organization and so on where people from our own midst provide ideas, support, help, and leadership and most often without monetary compensation.

With the new year still in its early days, those clubs and organizations also have their very own celebrations to inaugurate new officers and board members.

Inauguration time may just be the perfect time to recognize the willingness of community volunteers to provide their expertise, time, and leadership to the betterment of our communities right where we live!

December in Florida! Oh yes... we get some cold "spells" but mostly nice crisp mornings, warming up to comfortable temperatures during the day, and cooler evenings that require a light jacket! What else can you ask of life while people in other States are bundling up under sub-zero temperatures?

The day these photos were taken was just such a day! Calm waters made for perfect conditions for a boat ride through the Hernando Beach canals out to the Gulf of Mexico.

Quietly moving across the water, fishing is fun… catching fish is an option!

Except for this guy who is enjoying his dinner!

Sunsets come early in the winter time... join me this perfect afternoon and early evening!

Going Home!

Good Night!

Vacant land sales in Hernando Beach continued to be slow in 2008. As a result, lot prices have come down considerably.

Lots are available in all three areas of Hernando Beach which are differentiated by their accessibility to the Gulf of Mexico and accordingly indicated as "direct access", "indirect access/Central" and "indirect access/South". The indirect access areas require boaters to use a boatlift to gain access to the saltwater canals leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Hernando Beach South is the only neighborhood that is deed-restricted.

The access to the Gulf of Mexico has an impact on pricing, indirect access lots typically can expect to obtain a lower price than direct access lots with direct gulf front lots being at a premium. Other factors to consider are lot size and waterfrontage as well as features such as seawalls and docks already in place.
