Dunedin, Florida: Inviting Garden Swing Under A Shade Tree

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Inviting Garden Swing Under A Shade Tree No, it's not a terribly elaborate garden, but I find it very inviting just the same. The bench swing, the plants, the cool shade. All framed under and within the welcoming arms of a beautiful shade tree. When you are walking around in the hot summer heat, that we all love so much, it's nice to feast your eyes on an oasis of cool like this one.

This is not my garden I'm afraid, nor is this garden owned and created by any friend of mine. I spotted it while on walking photo safari in Dunedin, and thought you may enjoy it like I did... from a distance, but with joy just the same. And as for the swing itself, I found two free plans, and one for sale, in just a few minutes online. The two free plans were from Build Eazy and Black & Decker, and the one for sale was from WoodCraftPlans.com. Check them out if you like, these are not affiliate links, and I can give no assurances as to suitability or safety of the finished products. :) There are lots more out there I'm sure, these are just some I found easily, so I thought I'd pass along the links.

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

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!

Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park

Click for larger picture in a new window
Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park Sunday marked the end of the 2010 Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament in Clearwater, at Coachman Park. The weather was great for flinging discs, and it seemed like most people had a really good time. I got to learn a little more about disc golf, a rapidly growing sport indeed! This sport is going nuts. Let me say this to folks reading this article, if you don't already have a disc golf course in your town right now, you can just about bet that one is in the works, or will be soon. It's just plain fun, and very, very accessible to anyone who wants to have some fun. And let's not ignore the style factor! Check out the player in the picture above. I love his style, both putting and fashion.

Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park But don't get me wrong, these folks are also very serious about their game, in a good way. They have some of the funnest gear, like the buggies you see in the photo above. I mean, how many of you would LOVE an excuse to cruise around with that buggy, complete with a Tommy Bahama umbrella? Talk about living large!! I love it!

Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park Hats off to the various sponsors who came out to support the sport! One of my favorites was Night Flight Disc Golf, owned by my friend Dan. He had a great idea for playing disc golf after dark, followed by more and more ideas, and he is working hard to bring his ideas to everyone who enjoys the sport. Check out his website, NightFlightDiscGolf.com, and you will see what I mean about his ideas. Really cool stuff if you ask me.

There he is, below, standing in his booth with the rest of his gang, Fanchon in the middle, and Chris, seated at right. He's a great guy with some excellent products, so look for him at Disc Golf events around the area here, and ask for his product at your favorite Disc Golf shops.

Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park Another sponsor of the Sun-N-Fun Tournament was Sun King Disc Sports, recently moved from Brooksville to Sarasota. They have lots of good product for you to check out.

While I was poking about with my camera, I met Shawn Harrigan, who explained to me that this tournament was a part of the statewide Fabulous Florida Disc Golf Tour 2010. Click on over to their website if you'd like to review the results from this past weekend's tournament.

If you got a chance to enjoy the action at Coachman Park this past weekend, be sure to let them know at the Fabulous Florida Tour that you think Tournament Director Curtis Nuttin-But-Chains Minton did a great job. Because he did!

Clearwater, Florida: Sun-N-Fun Festival Disc Golf Tournament At Coachman Park Oh, and if you are interested in getting involved, but not sure where to start, I would surf on over to the Tampa Bay Disc Sports Club, for a local take on the sport. They have information on local courses, as well as event listings and more.

Dunedin, Florida: Night Flight Disc Golf!

Click for larger picture in a new window
Night Flight Disc Golf LED Disc Basket Lights I want to tell you all about two cool new things I have been learning about lately. Disc Golf, and Lighted Disc Golf. Disc Golf is all about throwing discs that are like Frisbee discs on steroids, into baskets made of steel and chains. You play on a course with multiple baskets, much like a regular golf course. I didn't know much about it several months ago, but it turns out there are courses all over the place. There are several in Pinellas County, with at least two listed in Dunedin! That's right, there is one listed at St. Andrews Links Golf Course (18 holes), and another listed at Hammock Park (9 holes).

Lighted Disc Golf is the same as Disc Golf, but you attach tiny little LED lights to your discs, and insert LED basket lights in the baskets, and play IN THE DARK. Very cool. The man in the picture above is Daniel Schultz. He is the man behind Night Flight Disc Golf. He didn't invent Disc Golf, or the idea of playing in the dark, but he did come up with some really cool lights for your discs and baskets. Click here to visit his website. And if you are interested in checking it all out, this coming weekend, May 1 and 2, there will be a Disc Golf tournament as part of the Fun-N-Sun Festival at Northeast Coachman Park in Clearwater.

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.
