Anybody out there remember 1989? I know it happened, but please don't ask me WHAT happened.

Well, I guess I could at least say that this manhole cover was cast in 1989, if nothing else happened. :)

Dunedin, Florida: Mother Nature Awaits Her Opportunity

Click for larger picture in a new window

Call me anti-social, but I love to see evidence of the fact that Nature is always standing by, patiently waiting to reclaim what we have taken from her.

We mine and process and build, and we re-shape the planet to our whims, but no matter how hard we work, Nature never stops working against us. I take great pleasure in watching it reclaim a bit here and there. :)

Dunedin, Florida: Bass Tracker Off Honeymoon Island Beach

If you're like me, and you find the Four Reel in yesterday's post even beyond the means of your daydreams, maybe this is more our speed? But then, a Bass Tracker in the Gulf Of Mexico? Maybe they're after sea bass! :)

But then, the other name on the side of the boat (click to see it larger) is Pro Crappie 175. I really don't think you can find any crappie out there. But hey, what do I know? Still, seems like a nice boat to be able to buzz around in, if you stay close to shore that is. And how about that blue stretching away to forever behind them... cool.

Dunedin, Florida: Four Reel Silverton Heading Out To Sea

If you get tired of playing tag with the waves on the beach, you can head out into the Gulf of Mexico for some serious fishing. This is the Four Reel, snapped as she headed out through Hurricane Pass and into the Gulf.

According to sources I found through Google, Four Reel is a 2000 Silverton yacht, registered in Palm Harbor. She is 46.5 feet long, and I think she is designated as a 42. I wouldn't want to have to fill her tanks these days, but she is a fine looking vessel! I'm guessing you could get a LONG way out in the Gulf with her!!

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Childish Joy

There is nothing quite like the pure joy of childhood innocence. This young lady was having such a good time playing tag with the waves. When is the last time you made it out to Honeymoon Island Beach?

I had lunch with my beautiful niece the other day. Although grown and graduated from college now, I can remember her as a much younger girl. Life is an amazing adventure.
