Dunedin

Thanksgiving dinner with new-found Tarpon Springs friends, the day before we left for Dunedin.  The creative minds of these various artists even spilled over into their cooking.....Deeeelicious!
 
 
 
 
We have lots of pelicans back home, but we've never seen them roost in bushes!
 
 
 
 
The first of many, many bridges that will open up on our journey down the west coast of Florida.
 
 
 
 
As the First Mate says, "We are now in the land of TALL palm trees."
 
 
 
 
The Harbor Master at Dunedin has a terrific view from his office window.
 (Not us; the boats & water, silly!)
 
 
 
 
 
The old railway station in Dunedin is right alongside the Pinellas Trail.
 
 
 
 
 
Linda's "new" best friend.  Wanna guess who's holding the ice cream cone???
 
 
 
 
Wishful thinking!
 
 
 
 
 
These guys hang out around Spiritus.
 
 
They are very people-friendly......
 
 
.....and don't seem to mind having their picture taken.
 
 
 
 
One of the town squares hosts a Farmer's Market every Friday & Saturday in Dunedin.
 
 
 
 
I guess you have to take your business to where the people are.  Today, they're at the Farmer's Market.
 
 
 
 
We enjoyed the live music while shopping in the market.
 
 
 
 
Spanish moss is plentiful along the Pinellas Trail.
 
 
 
 
 
This part of Florida is the winter home of many Major League Baseball teams.
 
Dunedin hosts the Toronto Blue Jays.
 
 
 
 
 
The Jolly Trolley can take you to many fun places in Pinellas county..........
 
..........like the beach!
 
 
 
 
I think that's a Shark kite!
 
 
 
 
Is that who I think it is?  Bet she thinks it's a dolphin!
 
 
 
 
A stroll on Treasure Island at sunset with my sweetie.
 
 
 
 
Treasure Island is the sandcastle capital of the world.  We were fortunate to see the winning sculptures in this year's competition.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Another fabulous sunset on the Gulf.......
 
 
 
 
.....accented by a full moon rising over Spiritus.
