After Idalia

Before noon, the sun came out.

Wednesday morning walk on Causeway Boulevard, overlooking the channel between the mainland and Ward Island.

Bayshore community streets flooded

Curlew Creek in our neighborhood, higher than I've ever seen it.

Dunedin Golf Course flooding

That's not a lake out there, just a large puddle.

Our house after the storm this morning.

The ponds at Stirling Park are full again.

The city has also regraded the paths, much improved!

Sunday

 

Sunday's walk on the causeway

Monday morning, I rode down to Stevenson Creek.

I rode over to Edgewater Drive and rode along the waterfront. Looking south to Clearwater Beach.

Looking north towards Dunedin

Tuesday morning Toby walk

Tuesday morning walk on the causeway

We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant and then walked Toby around Stirling Park. The calm before the storm of hurricane Idalia.

Saturday

A slow morning, a 10:00 walk down the Pinellas Trail downtown.

Mexican dinner 

Friday

 

John and I walked Toby at 6:20 this morning, had cereal at 7:00, and hopped on our bikes at 7:30 to ride out to Honeymoon Island for a walk on the beach.

We passed divers under the causeway drawbridge on the way.

It was 75 degrees when we left the house, a bit chilly. But it warmed up by the time we got to the island.

We walked about two and a half miles round trip. We made it just beyond the blue dot above.

In this picture, you can see the gulf on the right and the sound on the left at this very narrow stretch of the island.

Here's a similar shot walking north.

Mangrove remnants from beach erosion

The water was very clear. Unlike what you might read in the news, the water was cool.

John got this great shot.

At 8:00 in the morning, the beach was sparsely populated.

After lunch, I rode my bike to the gym to workout.

I never take the Pinellas Trail for granted.
