Wednesday

I felt someone looking at me on my bike ride this afternoon. I looked up and saw this blue eye staring at me from this knot hole in this oak tree bordering the playground at the marina.

 

After exercising at the outdoor gym this afternoon, I crossed the street and rode up Victoria Drive to the Marina and then crossed over to the Pinellas Trail to ride home.

 

 

These flowers remind me of the artificial flowers a woman in Mebane, NC had in her front yard, off St. Andrews (corner of Pebble Beach and Cypress Point). Hers were very life-like. It took me awhile to figure out they were not real. She kept moving them around in her flower bed. These are the real deal.

A Coast Guard plane passed over us while we were walking over the drawbridge this morning, a familiar sight along the coast--a white plane with a red band around the back section.

The water was incredibly clear this morning. The winds were light (3 mph when we began, but 8 mph when we finished). The temperature was in the mid 70s to low 80s. The temperature got up to 89 degrees later in the day.

This is the turning around point for folks who just want to parade up and down the Dunedin Causeway. Going straight ahead will take you to the Honeymoon Island State Park entrance. We typically turn around here on our walks and head back to the bike rack at the drawbridge.

Toby was catching a few Zzzzs after his breakfast while I read the news. His baby shark (near his head) goes with him everywhere he goes.
