Fun artwork on my walk

The sun was up and I was out not so early in the morning for a walk around Safety Harbor in July.

I walked across the waterfront to see the status on the rebuilding of the fishing pier that was destroyed from all of the hurricanes last fall. They were just starting to pull up the remaining old poles from the water. The pier and marina parking lot were closed for a while as they rebuild the pier and the marina.

Art along my morning walk

In mid-May I was out on the Safety Harbor waterfront for my weekly walk here. When it’s too hot to be walking around in the woods with my camera, I walk close to the water. I was hoping to get a breeze but there wasn’t a ripple on the water this morning.

Looking across the bay at Tampa I could see someone paddleboarding.  This was a great morning for paddleboarding since the water was so smooth.

A bunny was feeding before the mangrove boardwalk.

Since there was no breeze along the waterfront I decided to walk through the town area and noticed some of the artwork at the library.

Plumeria (also known as frangipani) was blooming all over Safety Harbor.

Artwork on Main Street

I usually start my walk at the Dunedin marina. I keep hoping to see that they have started fixing the damaged pier and boat docks but so far 8 months later it all looks the same. I’ve heard the city is waiting on insurance money or FEMA or both. They will also need to wait to get the right people to do it. I’m sure with all of the dock and pier damage up and down the western coast of the state those guys who fix that are busy.

 

It was blasting wind so after walking near the marina I headed up to Main Street to get out of the cold and wind until the sun came out . I thought the fish lock was the best.

The side of the wall on one of the buildings always has a cute seasonal painting. It was late March when I saw this.

Some of the fun artwork along Main Street.

I have still not been in the history museum. It opens at 11am and I’m usually home from my walk by then.

I love the tile work on the fountain and stairs.

I took this picture of the Dunedin boat club house several years ago. It sits on the front part of the marina and I recently read that it had been torn down due to extensive hurricane damage. It was built in 1931 and had survived 93 years here until Hurricane Helene flooded it last September. There were several benches in front of it that looked over the water and was shaded in the mornings and I would take a break on my long walks sitting on them. The whole area has been fenced off and I’m sure the benches are gone. I sure miss that spot. I’ve read that they will rebuild the club house (on concrete stilts this time) some time next year.
