A Beautiful Map of Manasota Key

Beautiful Manasota Key! I've walked this beach many times. I was surpised by how many sharks teeth can be found at the waters edge. The water is very clear and dolphins swim pass often. Fortunately, the area has not become overly congested like many other parts on Florida. It still has an old Florida feel. Check-out this map I did of Manasota Key at LeoLakes.com.

When a hurricane comes a shore

 It has been about a month since I have posted on Leo Lakes, why? Well, It has a lot to do with Hurricane Ian that hit Florida. We have a small place in Englewood Florida and it was damaged. Luckily, we didn't have catastrophic damage, but the park that we are in took some pretty high winds. The hurricane passed right over, with winds over 110 mph. 


We have been down, repairing the damage, cleaning up and helping others. Here is a few photos that I took that shows the extent of the damage.







Interestingly, we had a piece of metal come thur the wall of our place. it knocked a clock off the wall and the batteries fell out. The time was 4:26 pm. 

It is a sad situation because some folks live there full time and completely lost their home. I can't imagine the distruction in Ft Mryers, Sanibel Island etc...

Custom maps of your favorite lake

One lake that is almost two lakes, Greers Ferry Lake. Interestingly, I can tell you that this is a beloved lake from speaking with the many of the customers who order this map. In fact, a few years ago, I was asked to allow this map image be printed in a regional Greers Ferry magizine. I was amazed by the response for the printing in the magazine. Oh yeah, see more lake maps at my website LeoLakes.com. Also, I do custom maps of your favorite lake.

In the waters of this Greers Ferry Lake Map, I try to make the map interesting by hiding tiny little things in the waters. Folks start looking for them and can't stop. 

I love to add the local waterfowl flying over the lake. It almost looks like they are floating. Also, if you have a point of interest, like a lake house, I can add a star and wording to indicate its location.

Map of Beautiful Tellico Lake

I'm working on a map of  Telllico Lake located in Tennessee. I have never been to this lake. I did some research and the lake is 16,000 acres. It is a very clean lake and has over 350 miles of shore line, that would take you a while to walk...  Interestingly, I add fish jumping around in most of my painted lake maps. Normally, I will add a large mouth bass or two, or three. I try to add interest and make it more than a map. I like to say they are treasured map.
