Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Pier Sunset

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Pier Sunset Have you been to the Dunedin Marina in the evening lately? It's really nice. The sunsets from the pier are awesome, and just as nice as from the beach, without having to manage all that traffic.

That being said, it's also nice to get down to the beach to. Hey, don't forget Honeymoon Island Beach. Although the main beach can be a bit rocky, the pet beach is really quite nice in my experience.

Dunedin, Florida: Tropical Sunset Over Dunedin Marina

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Tropical Sunset Over Dunedin Marina I was fortunate to catch this beautiful sunset over the Dunedin Marina recently. It's a very Florida scene; the palm trees, all the boats, the open waters and the low landmass in the distance. Let's face it, this is a big part of why people love to live here.

Ya know, it is SO easy to forget how beautiful it is outside. We all get so terribly caught up in the day to day struggles of mortgage payments, feeding our families, and keeping our jobs... It won't solve all your problems, but I can tell you this, if you can get out to some fresh air somewhere; a park, the marina, a beach or the causeway, it may just lighten the load on your soul somewhat. You are not alone.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #3

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #3 It seems like it has been a while since I posted a sunset. So I reached back in time to post this one. Hopefully, I will find time to enjoy another sunset soon.

I never have figured out why I find sunsets so magical, or significant. In many ways, it is just the end of another day. Well, at least to the person watching the sunset. To someone else, around the globe, our sunset is actually their sunrise. Could it be that on some level we realize that a sunset is an incredible celestial event that represents moving objects so large and powerful that we can barely conceive of them? After all, compared to the sun, we are no more than little bits of dust floating in the heavens.

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: Honeymoon Island Sunset: Lovers

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset: Lovers Romance Like I said, there is another whole dimension to a sunset. After all, if there is no one to see it, does a sunset look so awesome or wonderful or... romantic? Perhaps, perhaps not. But I can tell you, for a pair of lovers marvelling at the sunset together, the colors are richer, deeper, more intense than if no one were to see it at all.

I believe any given sunset looks different to each person that sees it. Some might simply see a planetary phenomenon that has played out millions of times over the eons. Other might not see a sunset at all, but rather the rotation of a spot on earth from looking one way to looking another. Me? I see the most incredibly splendid, postively cataclysmic, and yet daily, reminder of beginnings and endings, birth and death, finality and eternity. Every day must end... and yet, a new day must come.

As for these lovers? They see their love, their devotion for each other, painted across the sky for the world to see. And we do see... and we marvel.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #2

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #2 I believe I had just shown you Honeymoon Island Sunset #1, when I interrupted for the Mardi Gras festivities. This beauty is Honeymoon Island Sunset #2. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. This sunset was cut short by the wall of clouds hanging low over the Gulf of Mexico. If you think it looks wonderful like this, check back tomorrow to see a different dimension of this sunset. :)

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #1

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Sunset #1 I think I will just let this one speak for itself.


I do, however want to mention the big event happening this evening on Main Street in Downtown Dunedin! Can you say Mardi Gras!?!?!?! That's right, the Downtown Merchants Association brings Mardi Gras to Dunedin tonight, from 5pm to 11pm. There will be a parade that starts at Knology Park at 7:30pm and ends up on Main Street. There will be live entertainment before and after the parade, as well as wine, food, and souvenirs for sale. Admission is FREE!

Oh, and this coming Saturday, your pet is welcome at the BOWser Games at Highlander Park in Dunedin. Yup, 10am to 3pm, it's all about family and pets and fun and FREE!

Dunedin Marina - Moonlight Paddle Launch

In recognition of our summer-like temps (high of 82F), I offer up this archive picture from a moonlight paddle sponsored by a local kayak outfitter, Osprey Bay Outdoors. We launched from Dunedin Marina in the evening, just a little while before sunset. Then we paddled to a spoil island less than a mile from the launch for a Jimmy Buffet, Margaritaville style party. We all had drinks, burgers, hot dogs and s'mores while we watched the sun go down. Then we partied for a while, and paddled back to the Dunedin Marina under a brilliant moon, arriving around midnight. It was a lot of fun. And hey, it's Florida, that's why we live here, isn't it?

You can't see my boat in this shot, but it looks very much like the third one from the left. It's a Dirigo 120, by Old Town. You can see the Old Town information about it here. It's not a real fancy boat, but I love it just the same. This area is perfect for kayaking, with rivers, bays, harbors and the Gulf of Mexico all nearby. Of course, the weather makes it enjoyable just about all year round.
A Spoil Island across from the Dunedin Marina
And here I borrow a great idea from my fellow blogger in Brasov, Romania, including some satellite images from Google Earth. Modern technology is AWESOME! The picture on the left is the spoil island we visited for the party. The middle image is the Dunedin Marina. The image on the right shows both the Marina and the spoil island, so you can get a little bit of an idea of the distance. Click to enlarge.

Dunedin Sunset on Edgewater Drive

As I finished my shooting of the homes and the trail along Edgewater Drive, I looked back one more time. This shot is the culmination of a large group I took (See Nov. 14 post below for a few of them). You can see one of the benches, with the wavy line, that are sprinkled along the biking & walking path there. I truly had no idea just how well this would come out. I knew I had to try. It just seemed like one of those special moments. I hope you like it.

Dunedin Homes - WATERFRONT!

A beautiful example of Dunedin homes, Dunedin real estate. There are some fine, fine homes on the waterfront here. This house sits just across Edgewater Dr. from Clearwater Harbor. That is also the Intracoastal Waterway as it passes our area. Check below to see what their view is like. And yes, that's my shadow, stretching wraith-like across the road, reaching for the next good shot. The City Of Dunedin has done a great job of making this stretch of waterfront accessible. There is a beautiful walking/biking path right at the water's edge, complete with benches and trash cans. It makes for a wonderful place to catch the sunset... And if you are thinking relocation, this is a great place to sit and watch the boats go by.
