Dunedin, Florida: Kiwanis Park Benches With A Waterfront View

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Kiwanis Park Benches With A Waterfront View In Dunedin, just off Alternate Highway 19, you can find some neat little parks. Many are nothing more than a couple of benches, a plot of grass, a seawall, and an awesome waterfront view. They may not seem like much to an athletinaut, but if you can find some quiet space in your mind, they are a great place to sit and ponder the universe. Of course, if you can't get your mind quiet, sitting and watching the water move for a while might help with that.

"... Mathilde smiled a tiny little smile of satisfaction as she reached the park and walked the narrow wavy sidewalk to the water's edge. She was alone in the small space, just her, the benches, the grass, and that wide blue-green expanse of water. Nothing there to distract her. Nothing to keep her from her appointment, her date.

Her curly white hair shifted only slightly in the sea breeze. The wrinkles on her lightly tanned face asserted her place in the history that had been her life so far. She folded tired hands in her lap, rested her stiff back against the green cradle of the bench. She felt the heat of the sun soaking into her body, her soul. It felt good. 'Surely', she mused, 'I must have some plant life in my bloodline'. The irony made her smile.

Settled now, she relaxed into an easy, comfortable vigil, staring out over the water. Her eyes lost their focus, as if she were looking at nothing. The nearer sounds slowly faded away, leaving the distant cries of the seagulls and the soft murmuring of the waves against the sea wall. Then, as she sat there in a trance like state, nearly oblivious of her surroundings, he slowly appeared before her.

She grinned broadly, like a young woman welcoming the appearance of her lover. 'Clarence, darling', she murmured. He took her hand, bent, and kissed it. She sighed deeply. A passing jogger wondered briefly at the lone, old woman sitting on the bench gesturing. Clarence sat down next to Mathilde, and she lay her head on his shoulder. 'It seems like I haven't seen you in so long Clarence', she whispered, 'I've missed you so'. He put his arm around her shoulders. 'I know darling, I know'..."

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass Here is another, wider, view of the overpass we saw in yesterday's post. It is, as you probably noticed, somewhat of a caged affair. I suspect it has to do with making sure nothing gets thrown onto the highway below. And then, it might have to do with making sure nobody can climb over the top and fall. I don't know their actual thinking on this one, I can only guess.

Either way, it beats the heck out of trying to cross busy Alternate Highway 19 directly. It is a busy road, and I am sure this overpass prevents a number of tragedies each year.

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Sun Loving Bicycle Riders

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Sun Loving Bicycle Riders I think it's a pretty good guess you will see a lot of this activity this weekend. The weather is warming up nicely, so it is time to get those new Christmas bicycles out of the garage. What better place to ride than the Pinellas Trail? I'll show you more of this overpass in another post.

This 'Easy Rider Photography' took place where the Pinellas Trail crosses Alternate Highway 19 in the north end of Dunedin. It's quite near the waterfront here, although not right on it. The road under this overpass will take you south to the Dunedin Causeway, past Pirate's Cove Marina, on to Dunedin Downtown, the Dunedin Marina, Edgewater Drive, and much more. If you go north from here, you come to Tarpon Springs, the Sponge Docks and, again, much more.
