Dunedin, Florida: ROAD TRIP! Skyway Bridge Crossing

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: ROAD TRIP! Skyway Bridge Crossing First, I really must thank those of you who noticed I had not posted in a couple of days. I felt really bad about it, but I was heartened by the nice inquiries I received as to my status, and hopeful I was continuing the Dunedin Daily Photo. Thank you very much. Yes, I am continuing. But I have been truant I am afraid.

Also, I would like to thank all of you who stop in to see the latest postings. I am flattered that you check out my website, and truly honored to have a place in your busy days. Thank you. If you are some of those who leave comments, many more thanks to you again. It is nice to get comments that give me an idea if I have touched your life, or even just provided some decent distraction from life for a few minutes. Thanks!

So, we went on a little road trip! We headed down south to Sarasota to see the beautiful Selby Gardens. It was wonderful. I took lots of pictures, and some of them might even be worth posting here! But I know so many of you have heard about, if not actually crossed, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, so I wanted to post this photo of it from Wednesday as we headed south. As you can see, they are re-painting the main cables again. What a job! What an awesome bridge!

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Hiking Trail Flashback

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Hiking Trail Flashback I have been thinking about Honeymoon Island lately, and the wonderful hiking trails they have out there. This is a shot from one of those trails. I love hiking out there, even though I don't go nearly as often as I would like to. It's a wonderful place to get away from the 'madding crowd' for a while, and forget you live in the city.

If you get the chance, I heartily recommend you get out to Honeymoon Island and get your feet on the trails, and your head out of your work for a while. There are lots of wonderful reasons to live in this area. Honeymoon Island is one of the best!

Dunedin, Florida: Stalking The White Ibis At Lake Paloma

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Stalking The White Ibis At Lake Paloma I had gone on a birding photo safari at Lake Paloma earlier this year, and while reviewing previous snapping results, found this shot. If you view it at full size by clicking on it, you might get an idea of the intimacy I felt when I saw this group of mature and immature White Ibis.

These are lovely, stately birds whose presence always makes me feel serene. They will calmly 'graze' their way across a front yard, and down the street, then take flight so quickly and glide overhead like a flashback to the days of early Egypt. I love to see them around.

Dunedin, Florida: Nature Always Wins... Eventually

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Nature Always Wins... Eventually It's true you know... If we all just disappeared, nature would eventually overcome every thing we have done, and most signs of our existence would simply vanish. As strange as it may sound, I find some comfort in that. To me, that means as much as we might, as a species, wreck this little blue ball called Earth, it might just be able to recover one day.

Whether that will be after we have killed ourselves off, or after we have really come to our senses and stopped killing the planet, I don't know. I guess I hope we will be able to survive with the planet, instead of us having to die off in order for the planet to survive.

Dunedin, Florida: Pool Repair Emergency

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Pool Repair Emergency I am not going to mention where I found this swimming pool. But I will say this, it is a POOL REPAIR EMERGENCY!!!

True, it is wonderful to see the lush green growth, but it pains me to think what a nice pool this once was, and see what a mess it has become. I guess, in some ways swimming pools can be a little like boats: a hole in the ground that you pour water into! **revision: '... a hole in the ground that you pour MONEY into..." (what a ninny)

Dunedin, Florida: Car 24 Update

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Car 24 Update Dateline May 12, 2008: Subject - Current whereabouts of Car 24. Last seen crashed into the underbrush on a photo blog.

Report: Car 24 seems to be on Stake Out duty in some sort of open air parking structure. Although the presence of a large metal stake, and a car that looks suspiciously like a WALNUT, give rise to speculation that something is amiss!

Dunedin, Florida: Happy Mother's Day! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I love my Mother and I'm proud of her. She's cool. The older I get, the more I appreciate her, and what she has done for me. Have you thought about that lately? Have you called her yet, your Mother? Have a great Mother's Day!
