Dunedin, Florida: Rent A Tricycle, Get On The Pinellas Trail!

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Rent A Tricycle, Get On The Pinellas Trail! I snapped this photograph of these two tricycles, all set and ready for you to rent them, some time ago. Sadly, the last time I wandered through this area on 'photo safari', the shop was closed down. I believe they have moved, but I don't recall finding out where. So I will have to make a point of finding out where they went, so you will know too!

Meanwhile, the premise is still valid, sound, and appealing! Rent a couple of tricycles, assuming there are more than one of you, and get out on the Pinellas Trail and ride! When you are there, you will get to see some beautiful areas of Pinellas County, and Dunedin more specifically in this area, that you can't necessarily see from a car. Certainly you can't take the time to see it the same way in your car as you could from these tricycles.

If, after trying out some cool trikes like these, you should get the urge to own one for yourself, there are plenty out there, in various configurations and price ranges. Heck you can even get them on Amazon.com... At the starting range they have the Schwinn Meridian Adult 26-Inch 3-Wheel Bikewhich is your basic, upright styled adult tricycle. Next up from there, you can get the same basic style, but in a folding model like the Westport Adult Folding Tricyclefor example.

If you're like me, and you sometimes get tired of peddling, or if you just think it would be a lot of fun, you might even look into something with supplemental battery power like the Currie Technologies iZIP Tricruiser Electric Tricycle (24-Inch Wheels)model. But then, maybe you prefer that sleek, low-slung look, in which case you might be more interested in something like a TerraTrike Tour Recumbent Trikethat looks fast even sitting still.

Of course, if you are going on an outing like this, you don't want to forget taking something to drink. In that case, it might be good to have something to keep your drink cold, like a Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle. Yeah, sounds pretty technical, but if it can keep my drink cold for 12 hours, it works for me! Oh, and don't forget to take some pictures while you are out there. RitzCamera.com has plenty of excellent cameras to choose from.

Dunedin, Florida: Real Estate: Pretty Green Home

Dunedin, Florida: Real Estate: Pretty Green Home I wonder... can you still call it Real Estate if the home is not for sale?

Dunedin has numerous neighborhoods full of beautiful homes like this one. I love these homes. I'd love to get a chance to see what that third floor looks like. What a cool looking place.

Dunedin, Florida: Autumnal Equinox 2010 - It's That Time Of Year: FALL

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Autumnal Equinox 2010 Fall Leaves Tree Color Yes, the Autumnal Equinox has come again. It's that time of year. It's Fall. Wahoo! Time for cool dry air and the changing of the color of leaves. Time to get ready for the holidays that make this time of year so very special. It's a virtual trifecta of celebration!

Let's count them down... First comes Halloween. The night of terror. No, not really... it's the night of fun and candy and cool costumes. I always look forward to Halloween because, to me, it marks the first holiday of the cool season, and I always want it to be crisply cool for trick or treating. I suspect this is a childhood thing, as I grew up in Virgina and remember that trick or treating was often delightfully chilly and the air was all about Fall and hinting of Winter and the rest of the holiday season.

Then comes Thanksgiving, the wonderful family holiday that inspires reflection and gratitude for all the wonderful things in our lives that we take for granted all year. Turkey Day also marks the next step toward Christmas, and usually promises even cooler temperatures than Halloween. Not to mention, as an adult, I appreciate that Thanksgiving is the first of the three winter holidays that actually comes with TIME OFF! That's right, now we are talking about paid holiday time from work. Yippeeeee!

Finally, we get to Christmas. Now we are solidly into cooler weather (in Florida) and more paid time off to enjoy family and the holiday season. It's that time of year when so many of us become practically giddy with the spirit of giving and the joy of the celebration of Christmas. It's wonderful.

And then, in case you might have forgotten, we actually get ONE MORE holiday... NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! Yup, after all that good fun, we get a little more time off and another excuse to cut loose. Time to celebrate the successes, or survival, of the year just ended, and time to celebrate our optimism about the new year just starting. Perfect!
