Some of the shops in Micanopy, Florida. I love the old buildings and the huge moss-covered oak trees.

“As the oldest inland Florida settlement, Micanopy has a well-established tradition of charm and Southern hospitality. Pronounced (Mick-can-oh’-pee), Micanopy is often called “The little town that time forgot.” Micanopy possesses warmth and charm as well as an eclectic array of antique shopping. Micanopy was voted “Best Antique Shopping” town … by readers of Florida Magazine in 2006.
Micanopy’s streets are lined with historic buildings housing unique shops and cafes. Here you can find unique sites; friendly people; shops brimming with antiques, collectables, folk art, and decorative fare; and beautiful vistas and parks nearby such as Paynes Prairie, Orange Lake and Cross Creek. In and around Micanopy, there are many things to do year round to please the whole family."
In 1991 the movie “Doc Hollywood” starring Michael J. Fox was filmed in Micanopy.
Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.
