Dunedin, Florida: "HALT! Who Goes There?"

Click for larger picture in a new window

I came across this sign as I walked around Lake Paloma recently. As I read it, I suddenly got the sensation that I was being watched. Quickly, I checked my feet to make sure they were not standing on a survey marker. I did NOT want to be construed as having endangered the survey marker. That's when a voice bellowed from the bushes, "HALT! Who goes there?!?!"

No, not really... but hey, it could happen! Really though, it's interesting to see this sign. When I bought 45 acres on a mountainside in Washington State, the corners were marked with things like GIANT TREES, and when you hiked through the woods to them, you scrabbled around in the fallen leaves below to find a not-very-well-marked steel pipe or concrete monument. What fun. It's not like that in the city.

Here is another of many quaint shops in the Downtown Dunedin area. Paper Players is a stationery and paper store. They have a nice website too. Click here to check it out if you like. It's wonderful how they turned this old home into a home for their store. Very welcoming, like so many shops in Dunedin's Downtown shopping district.

I noticed one of my neighbors still had his decorations lit several days after Christmas, so I stopped to snap a few shots. This display is one of the most elaborate in my neighborhood. It really is something to behold in person. Oh, and there is music playing to add to the spirit of the display.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Dunedin, Florida: Theme Day: Best Photo of 2007

Click for larger picture in a new window

This picture says a lot about Dunedin. Such a wonderful small town atmosphere, and yet not so small that they can't put on a wonderful wing-ding like this Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration. It was a great time, and I can't wait to see what they do next year. Everyone seemed so friendly and outgoing that night. It was wonderful, and all amidst the neat little shops of that awesome downtown that the City of Dunedin has managed to preserve. What's not to love? :D

May 2008 be a year of love and joy and prosperity for you and all your loved ones!

Dunedin, Florida: Winter? Roller Blading!

Click for larger picture in a new window

This is an action shot, but not necessarily a good one. It was taken this past Saturday. As you can see, it was a plenty warm day, and these two were thoroughly enjoying winter, Florida style. What's more, notice the Christmas decoration leaning against the stairs behind them. Yup, if you enlarge the photo, you can see clearly that it is a Santa, in shorts and sun glasses. Does that mean Santa vacations in Florida?

I want to wish you all a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration. And I hope that 2008 is a year of Joy and Prosperity for you and your loved ones!
