Dunedin, Florida: Trees Need Love Too

Click for larger picture in a new window

I found this incredible example of Trees In Love near Lake Paloma. I have seen some interesting Tree Love before, but this is the most extreme. The Oak has completely encircled the Palm tree. Talk about a heart breaker... the Palm tree has died.

If you click and enlarge the photo, you can see one of our local lizards hanging head-down on the Palm trunk, just below the Oak circlet. If you are cruising Dunedin, this tree is just off San Christopher Dr., near the Coca-Cola facility.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina: "It Was A Cold And Windy Night"

Click for larger picture in a new window

It was a cold and windy night. The shrouds of the sailboats whistled and moaned in the cold, cold breezes. The marina was alive with the restless jostling of craft both large and small. Somewhere in the distance a siren wailed. Near at hand a low creaking sound. Perhaps a piling coming loose, perhaps a dock failing under the pressure of pounding waves. Palm fronds all pointing the one direction, away, away, away from the terrible cold, away from the unrelenting pressure.

Wintry weather has returned to remind us of the calendar's unavoidable rule. It is January. It is not a time of balmy breezes and warm sunny skies. It is time for cold, and wind, and gray. Well, at least as much as it gets like that here in Florida.

Dunedin, Florida: Homes & Housing II

Click for larger picture in a new window

Another neat little home in Dunedin. Just down the street, off the main road, in a quiet little neighborhood of smaller homes. This one appears to be even smaller than the one posted Saturday.

It looks as though the front lawn might need some TLC. I like that it has a porch, though. I think that is important to make a house a welcome home. Isn't that right, Felicia? :)

Dunedin, Florida: Bed & Breakfast; The Meranova Guest Inn

Click for larger picture in a new window

This is just small taste of what the beautiful Bed & Breakfast, The Meranova Guest Inn, looks like. For the real downtown experience in Dunedin, Florida, staying in the Meranova is a great choice. This beautiful place is smack dab in the middle of the Downtown Dunedin.

From the Meranova, you are in walking distance from lots of wonderful places to shop, eat, or just enjoy. From the Dunedin Marina to Pioneer Park and more. There are galleries, gift shops, restaurants all around. Some that we have mentioned here before include Cafe Alfresco, The Black Pearl, Casa Tina, and Deli News Cafe (not mentioned before).

I can't say I have ever stayed there, but it looked great when I walked around the place. So you might just want to check out their website if you are making plans to visit Dunedin or the Clearwater area. Just a thought.

Dunedin, Florida: Homes & Housing

I passed this little house while on a walk the other day. I thought what a cute little home. Dunedin has some wonderful neighborhoods that are filled with older homes that come from a time when they did not build them quite so big or so fancy. But they built them cozy and cute and homey.

It pays to get off the main drag and see what the neighborhoods around you are like. It's good to know there are neat little houses out there. After all, you never know when you are going to be in the market. In fact, there is a little house down the street from this one that is one the market for US$188,000. That's a lot in some parts of the country, and not much at all in other parts. What's it like where you live?
