Dunedin, Florida: Father & Son Enjoy The Pinellas Trail With Bike & Trailer

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Father & Son Enjoy The Pinellas Trail With Bike & Trailer I was taking my lunch break to get out of the office and shoot some fresh color in Delightful Downtown Dunedin today. I hadn't thought to bring cool clothes to change into, so I was wearing my 'Dockers uniform'. It was HOT. That didn't stop me from enjoying my walking photo safari, but it didn't add a lot of fun to it.

So I was pretty psyched for this man and his son when I saw them lounging in the shade, just off the Pinellas Trail. What an AWESOME way to spend some quality time together. I can imagine the memories that little kid will grow up with. Nice! Even better, the father was okay with me taking a picture of the two of them. So if you know this man, tell him I said thanks again. And tell him you saw him on Dunedin Daily Photo!

Meanwhile, next time you are trying to think of something fun to do with your children or other family member, don't forget the Pinellas Trail that runs right through Downtown Dunedin. It's a great trail to enjoy, whether walking, skating or bicycling, with great places to stop and eat or shop along the way. And yes, it comes DANGEROUSLY close to Strachan's Ice Cream shop!

Dunedin, Florida: A Nice Day For A Bike Ride

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Bike Bicycle Ride Transportation Pedal What's right about this picture? What's not right about this picture?

Well. among other things, I am still a chicken when it comes to taking pictures of people. Oh yeah, I'm a downright hero when it comes to taking pictures of their backs, or backsides. But I still have trouble taking a picture when they can see me taking it, and have only once had the courage to ask someone outright. Hahaha, and first I circled them three times like some kind of stalker.

Meanwhile, hurray for the man on the bicycle. Good for him. Of course, for all I know, he rides a bike because he got a DUI or something. In the meantime, hurray for him.

What's life about, after all? Any ideas? Not too sure myself. I have some ideas. Some inklings. Does it matter if we know? Are we just supposed to do our best to survive, and then die anyway? Higher purpose? I don't think we have access to any such thing as a higher purpose. I'd like to think so. But I have my doubts. Perhaps I'll go play a video game for a while to clear my head. Or go watch some more TV.

Dunedin, Florida: Flying Bike O' Beads Hits Building

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Flying Bike O' Beads Hits Building Okay, not really flying. Okay, didn't really hit the building. But hey, life is short, make up stories! (Yeah, didn't see that coming, did you?)

So, the awesome bead covered bicycle is hanging out on this building, adorning their bicycle rental and sales business. Rentals? you say? Yes! This building is located right next to the Pinellas Trail! And once you rent your bicycle and hit the trail, many wonderful destinations are just a short pedal away. More on that in future posts.

Dunedin, Florida: Bicycle O' Beads

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Bicycle O' Beads What in the heck? That is what I was thinking as I came upon the object in today's image. I am sure you can see that it is a bicycle... but are those spikes coming out of the rear tire? Is that snake skin all over it? Is it flying? What the heck?

This is a pretty cool bicycle. Tomorrow, a photograph to provide a little more perspective for you. Happy Saturday!!

Dunedin, Florida: Gotta Love The Pinellas Trail

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Gotta Love The Pinellas Trail I just love the look of this place.

No, I haven't done much bike riding recently, and I haven't eaten there. But lots of people do both, and they all seem to enjoy the heck out of the fact that Dunedin has this kind of lifestyle available. Pretty cool.

Bike riding is a lot of fun. There is a sense of independence unencumbered by reliance on motors and fuel that makes a bicycle a wonderful thing.

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Sign Downtown Dunedin

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Sign Downtown Dunedin One of the things I like about publishing this daily photo blog, one of the things that I get out of it, is the refreshed perspective that sometimes jumps out at me from pictures I took.

When I snapped this image, I was intent on getting the man on the bicycle passing under the Pinellas Trail sign. That was my 'focus' at that moment. Later, when I was reviewing the images from that day's snapping, I got more out of it. Now I see a quaint, cozy, inviting downtown area that makes me want to spend more time there, when I look at this photograph. Downtown Dunedin is always like that, but it's easy to forget sometimes when 'life gets in the way'. Does that happen to you?

Dunedin, Florida: Bike Riding Quiet Guy

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Bike Riding Quiet Guy I always try to get out of my office for a little while each day, to get some fresh air and take a walk. I usually go around the same time. It really helps to get out and get moving. I guess it gets the blood pumping, and all the right chemicals feeding into my brain.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have seen this same old man riding his bicycle. Some days it is a blue tricycle, other days a green bicycle. The strange thing is that he just will not say hello. I mean it. The first few times we passed, I always nodded and said hi or good morning. He would just look at me and look away again. So now I just look at him, and he just looks at me, and that's that. I suppose it would just ruin everything if he said hello to me.

PS. Happy Thursday. When is the last time you told the people you love that you love them?

Dunedin, Florida: Bicycle Trailering On Main Street

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Bicycle Trailering On Main Street The weather was just beautiful that day, and this woman seemed to have the perfect way to spend the day. Not to mention the happy little child in the trailer behind her. I don't know where they are headed next, but I am sure there is a good time ahead of them.

If the building behind her, across the street, caught your eye like it did mine, here's the scoop. It is a coffee shop, sort of, and I think it is somewhat new. The name of the place is Caffe Crema. I could not find a website, but I did find this listing for it: Caffe Crema, (727)736-2739, 638 Skinner Blvd. Specializing in organic, gluten free baked goods, panini and quesadilla, vegetarian. Light lunch, indoor/outdoor seating, M-F 8:30-4:00; Sat 9:00-5:00; Closed Sunday

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Fitness Resolution Inspiration

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Fitness Resolution Inspiration Woman On Bike This seemed like a good picture to post today since I have been TAGGED! Yes, RO_Pumpkin, from Brasov Romania has tagged me. It goes something like this: When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them. So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Now I am going to tell you about my New Year's resolutions, and then tag a few others for the same thing!

I guess I fit into a fifth category of New Year resolvers. I make them quietly, to myself, and try not to call them resolutions so the formality of it all won't cause too much pressure, or jinx my efforts. So, if you want to call them soft resolutions, that's me. And for 2008, mine sound something like this:

The standards first: I will eat better, I will exercise more, I will speed less, and so forth. Then there are the deeper ones, like I will try to be a better person this year, more the person I think I can be, if only I tried harder. I will not hurt anyone this year, and I will be good for the people I love. I will find ways to make the lives of my loved ones easier, happier, more fulfilling. I will let the love in my heart show more readily, to strangers and friends alike, so that their lives might be just a little better. I will refrain from judgement. I will accept, tolerate, and embrace the differences, opinions, habits, and lifestyles of others around me.

Wish me luck! Now I want to tag a few of my fellow bloggers out there... Jilly, in Menton, France; Dan in McKinney, Texas; Chris in Nashville, Tennessee; and Annie in Little Rock, Arkansas.

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.
