Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show: Sunset

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show: Sunset A light show of a different sort. Truth. Light. Water. Sky.

The quintessential Florida life. There is the sky: mostly blue, mostly clear. There is the water: bluish green, supporting of life and leisure. The light, from the Sun that shines so often and so brightly. There is Truth... the truth of Florida, of Dunedin, of Edgewater Drive, of a man wade-fishing, the sun setting, the palm trees silhouetted against the flaming horizon. The Truth of simply being, wherever and whenever you may be, whoever and however you may be, whatever and whyever you may be. Truth. Simply True.

Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Edgewater Drive: Waterfront Light Show The funny thing is, it didn't look like a light show when I was down there snapping pictures! It just looked like cars driving by, and the sun going down, and a beautiful golden glow covering all the wonderful homes there.

I know these pictures are easy to come by, but it doesn't seem to keep me from taking some more of them whenever I get the chance. It's like clouds, trees, and so on... there are certain subjects that, no matter how many images of them I might already have, I always snap some more when I see it again. Oy! What about you?

Dunedin, Florida: City Of Dunedin, City Hall

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: City Of Dunedin, City Hall I guess you could say this is the heart of the City of Dunedin. City Hall, the one and only. Cool. It's really a pretty nice looking place. I LOVE the tree out front... way cool.

I have to give them credit... it's not some overdone palace of waste. They seem to run a really nice City, providing a nice place to live and work and play.

**NEWS UPDATE**: Willa Carson Health Resource Center: Donation Challenge Underway!

Okay, it's been over a week since I first posted this story about the free clinic in Clearwater that needs your help. Perhaps you have been waiting for someone else to go first... perhaps you have been wishing for more proof of legitimacy... well here you go.

"Last week, the Garrett Staples Osteosarcoma Research Fund presented the center with a check for $10,000 and issued a challenge to the residents of Tampa Bay. For every dollar donated to the center through April 18, the Garret Staples Foundation will match the amount."

That's right out of the St. Petersburg Times, as of today! Click here to read it for yourself. This would be a real good time to step up and do something for each other! Please, let people know about this. Even if they don't have $10,000, they can make a difference. Even just $10 will make a difference. Click here to read the text of the original story.

They are running out of money, and they need help.

Click here to visit the Center's website (it is not complete yet, but there is good information about them). They are a legally registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation according to the website.

Everyone's financial story is different, so I leave it up to you to decide how to help, if you are so inclined. But consider this... to some of you out there, $100 would be no big deal at all. To others, $1,000 would never be missed, and so on. If you are like me, you might not even have $10 to help with right now.

We all help in ways that we can. I can write about it here, and try to get the word out to more people who might be able to help. You might know someone who can spare $20, or $20,000. Ask them. Tell them. Please. Ask you employers, if appropriate. I am going to ask mine.

If you or someone you know can mail a check, make it payable to: Willa Carson Health Resource Center, and mail it to: 1108 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave., Clearwater, FL, 33755. Thanks for reading all this.

Dunedin, Florida: Garden Snakes In The Boxwood Hedge

Dunedin, Florida: Garden Snakes In The Boxwood Hedge This friendly little face was enjoying the sun from the top of my boxwood hedge one day. As I like snakes, I took it as a good sign, and was happy that he would call my place his home. Snakes do a lot of good, and this little guy is about as harmless as you can get.

What about you, out there, any snake lovers out there?

Dunedin, Florida: April Theme Day: WATER: Honeymoon Island Beach

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: April Theme Day: Honeymoon Island Beach: WATER! I find it amazing, really, what an attraction we have for water. I don't mean just the water we drink, or wash with, but ANY water. Even water we can use for neither. Take the beach, for example. Honeymoon Island Beach, it's a State Park, is very popular. People come from all around to enjoy the beach... the water. If you take away the water, it's just sand. You can get it anywhere. But when you add water, it becomes a beach, a magic place. Even people who have no intention to get in it, drink it, walk on it, bathe in it, etc., will come to the beach... just to sit near it!

There are almost 200 Daily Photo bloggers participating in Theme Day today. I encourage you to wander through the list below, and check out 'WATER' around the world.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Honeymoon Cafe, Kayak

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Honeymoon Cafe, Kayak From the beach, looking up toward Cafe Honeymoon... or is it Honeymoon Cafe? I cannot remember! But I think you get the idea. A place for a drink and some grub, while you sit at the railing and look out over the Gulf of Mexico, and Honeymoon Beach. Not bad if you ask me.

In fact, if you look directly below the flag, you will see a couple sitting there, just then, doing just that. I like it! If you are in the area, and thinking about someplace new and different to try, why not try this?

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Memorial Bench

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Memorial Bench Stan and Rita have gone fishing. For good.

This bench, this memorial bench, can be found on Honeymoon Island Beach. Honeymoon Island is a State Park, and so far, every bench I have seen out there has a memorial on it.

I don't know Stan and Rita Maneski. Someone not only knew them, but loved them enough to take the time and energy and money to have this dedication carved into a bench and installed on the beach on Honeymoon Island. It makes me wonder, will anyone love me that much after I am gone? Or, does it matter?
