Howey-in-the-Hills

Little Lake Griffin
Howey-in-the-Hills is a cute little town with a nice promenade along Little Lake Griffin. The clowns thought that I wanted to take their picture, but actually I would have preferred them to stay seated on the bench. The benches are what makes this promenade look European.


Wonderful old cedars grace the shoreline.


On the other side of the lake shore road, houses from the fifties and sixties are lined up with their large front yards.

The stateliest sabal palm I have seen so far.

This owner modernized his home with a covered and an open front porch and a Florida room.


His neighbor across the street has huge live oaks which are protected.
