Pictures Of Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Marina Sailboats Yachts Restaurants Blue Skies And Blue Water

Click for larger picture in a new window

No visit to Dunedin is complete without a stroll around the Dunedin Marina. It's such a beautiful place! And just between you and me, I'm sure this is one thing people consider when they decide to relocate to Dunedin, Florida. It's such a scenic place, such a great place to just go for a walk and enjoy life!

You may notice I've applied a filter to this picture. It's called Chrome. I love the way it enhances the mood of the photo. But don't get me wrong, it doesn't take anything away from the image or the beautiful blue skies.

Don't wait another day. Check out all the cool photos here on Dunedin Daily Photo, and start planning for your very own 'Dunedin Florida Relocation' today! You will LOVE IT here!

Dunedin, Florida: Midnight At The Oasis, Dunedin Marina At Midnight

Click for larger picture in a new window

Another shot from the last time I was lurking around Dunedin Marina at midnight. I love that place, and it only gets better at midnight. To see all the yachts and sailboats quietly 'nestled in their beds' for the night, with only the occasional whisper of a breeze, is really beautiful.

If you are ever in Dunedin, Florida, be sure to stop by and check out the Dunedin Marina, no matter what time of day it is. After all, it's a pretty place at noon too! :)

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina At The Witching Hour: Midnight!

Click for larger picture in a new window

If a person would happen to be in such a place as the Dunedin Marina, oh say, around midnight, a person just might luck into a shot like this! Not as easy as it sounds, in as much as they have numerous very bright security lights around the marina. This makes it difficult to get a good shot that doesn't have an image-wrecking light shining right into the camera.

Ironically, it's that walking around peering this way and that while looking for the best shot that gives one just the kind of 'casing the joint' look that you really don't want to have at that time of night. That being said... the marina is a really cool place late at night, if you're not subject to getting the heeby-jeebies.

It was very quiet. The only sounds were some soft clinking of hardware on masts as they swayed gently in a light breeze, and the flags at Bon Appetit flipping about.

Dunedin, Florida: A Postcard Perfect Day At The Dunedin Marina

Click for larger picture in a new window

No, I don't seem to be able to resist taking more pictures at the Marina, especially when it is a day as beautiful as this one. Talk about blue sky and fluffy white clouds! This is what we are talking about when we brag about how beautiful this area is.

And here's some cool news: I have opened a store on Cafe Press. That's right, as I expand the product available at the store, you will have the opportunity to buy postcards, calendars, note cards and so on featuring some of the best photographs from the Dunedin Daily Photo!

The name of the store is ABOCAI, which stands for A Bunch Of Crazy-Ass Ideas. :) And the first product available in my store are postcards featuring the photograph above. If you'd like to see what the image above looks like as a postcard, click this link: POSTCARD. If you like what you see, you can purchase a pack of 8 postcards for only $7.99.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Hardware

Click for larger picture in a new window

Ever feel like you just need someone to hang on to? Something you can really get hold of? That is what, in my opinion, HARDWARE is all about. Hardware is always there when you need it. What would the world do without hardware? The world would fall apart without it, that's what! Speaking for myself, I am a member of the Hardware Hoarders Club. That's right. I officially have more than I can probably ever use over the course of my lifetime... But I'm working on it! :)

What about you? Do you dig hardware too? Think about it, we use that word for all sorts of different meanings. Of course, there is basic hardware, like screws and nails and such. But sometimes hardware refers to weapons. Other times it's just computer equipment. I can remember using hardware to mean braces on your teeth. What else? I bet you have some more examples too. Don't you!

Dunedin, Florida: International Optimist Logo: Regatta Club

Click for larger picture in a new window

How do you feel about BLUE? Ever seen this logo before? No, it's not the Illuminati... It's the logo for the International Optimist Dinghy Association. IODA for short. And according to that website, "The optimist is, quite simply, the boat in which the young people of the world learn to sail".

So, if you have a child who is interested in sailing or sailboats, perhaps you want to check out the International Optimist concept of sailing. It seems like it might be a great way to get your child interested in something more than video games, not to mention the social skills and confidence they will develop while they're having all that fun. Needless to say, I am pretty sure they have a club in Dunedin, based at the Dunedin Marina.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: DOT Work Truck

Click for larger picture in a new window

Work is everywhere. It makes the world go round. Even in our most basic form, we must work or die of starvation. Work. It's good for you. Really!

A nice day at the Dunedin Marina still requires someone to be working. In this case, it looks like there are some Florida Department of Transportation employees nearby. I'm not real sure if they have anything to do with the marina. They may be there, like I was, to enjoy the serenity of the small park, and to gaze upon the beauty of all the yachts and sailboats. If you're in the area, and have a little time, you might find it enjoyable to stop by the marina and go for a walk. The weather makes it quite appealing this time of year.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Don't Come In! The Place Is A Mess!

Click for larger picture in a new window

What's with all the security? Are they afraid we'll steal the boats? Run off with their rope? Loot the bilge and abscond with their rum? Naw, it's nothing like that... they just haven't got to their spring cleaning yet, and they don't want us to see the mess! And hey, I got messes of my own, so I can relate COMPLETELY!

Seriously though, all in all, considering her age, I think Sails Lady is looking pretty good. If you are wondering, she is a product of Morgan Yachts. In fact, she is a centerboard sloop, built in 1970, a Morgan 38. Cool, eh? Yeah, it's amazing what you can find on the internet!

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: Danger - There Is Work To Be Done!

Click for larger picture in a new window

I guess I should have guessed there was work afoot when I saw this trailer full of lumber. But it was really more 'afloat' than afoot... hahaha. I can tell you, when I see a stack of wood like this at my house, it can only mean one thing: lots of hard work on the coming weekend. And sure enough, as you can see in the photo below, there was definitely some hard work going on. But I suppose I can see some appeal in a job like this. No, I don't think I would enjoy it year after year... but there are days when I am sitting in my office, wishing I was somewhere else. My friends and family are quick to remind me how lucky I've got it. And I suppose they're right, really.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Boats All Sitting Pretty

Click for larger picture in a new window

It's pretty much always a nice time to stop by Dunedin Marina and check out the floating eye candy. Yes, lots more to come, as always.

Really, though, is it true, are boats simply holes in the water into which money is dumped? They are pretty though, most of them.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Pier Sunset

Click for larger picture in a new window

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: Jeep Spotting At The Marina: Jeep Wrangler Sport

Click for larger picture in a new window

When I saw this Jeep Wrangler Sport at the Dunedin Marina recently, it seemed like something right out of a Jeep television commercial. With the soft tops all peeled off, and the bright yellow color with the shiny clean wheels, it just seems to shout "Buy me, I'm FUN!"

How about that license plate on the front bumper, eh? That's right, it says U.S. Marines! Nothing but respect for our folks in uniform. No matter what I think about the politicians that send them to war, no matter what I think about whether or not we should be there, I respect them for putting it on the line for the rest of us. Thank you Armed Forces!

Meantime, I've never owned a Jeep, at least not yet. I've thought about it. I think my brother had one once, but not me. It could be fun. But these days, I think I would want to find one with a four cylinder! (Oops, just hit the digital highway and found tons of them right here in the Dunedin area.)

Did you know that Amazon.com has a whole section devoted to Jeep Wrangler? Yup. You can help support Dunedin Daily Photo by shopping for your Jeep goodies with these advertisers:

Dunedin, Florida: Tropical Sunset Over Dunedin Marina

Click for larger picture in a new window

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: Vespa Scooter At Dunedin Marina

Click for larger picture in a new window

While loitering at the Dunedin Marina one day recently, I spotted this sharp looking scooter. As I crept closer and closer for a photograph, I realized it is an honest to gosh Vespa scooter!

So I snapped a few shots, and went on my merry way. Of course, now that I am posting the picture, I am wishing I had looked a little more closely to see what model it is. Oh well. I am slowly, slowly, learning to look beyond the initial snap, when I take it, and see what other information is to be had.

Dunedin, Florida: Action Snaps: Trailered Boat

Click for larger picture in a new window

Standing on a Downtown Dunedin street corner, near the Dunedin Marina, practicing my action photography, I snapped this neat looking boat. I don't know where it was heading, or where it came from, but I am pretty happy with how that shot turned out. Thank you Nikon! Let's here it for being able to preview the shot immediately.

This turns out to be a great way, for me, to practice the panning action shot. I can stand there on the corner and snap away at people in cars. Some give me strange looks, many never even notice I am there. Later, I will post a snap of a man on a motorcycle who didn't really look all that happy about me photographing him. But then, maybe he was thinking about something else entirely.

The Dunedin Marina... rows of pretty watercraft... afloat on rolling swells of liquid silver... pretty place to take a walk... or have a peaceful lunch.

What of the life afloat? What of the sailor's life? A life at sea, is it right for you, would it be right for me?

Dunedin, Florida: Big Sky Over Dunedin Marina

Click for larger picture in a new window

In snapping this photograph, I was trying to capture the sensation of BIG SKY that I felt at the time. Looking up at the sky over St. Joseph Sound, with the pinkish gray clouds, the sky seemed even more enormous than reality.

I hope you can get a sense of the feeling when you see this picture. You can click on it to see a larger version of the image. Perhaps that will help. Again, like I said yesterday, we seem so very small when compared to the scope of the environment around us.
