Took my 46th walk at twilight here in the neighborhood. It was the three mile route that I took the other day, but when I came to the townhomes below I had a thought...
These might be done within the year that I take my walks, and I'll shoot another picture from the same angle for a little side by side comparison. I hope that won't be the ONLY change in appearances.
Crest Lake Park is probably a place I never would have visited had I not been into walking, and wanted to meet my friend Zoltan and his son PJ for a walk today. The park is beautiful, and it's right on Gulf to Bay in Clearwater, but probably remains unnoticed by the people traveling to and from the beach. It's worth a stop.
Zoltan came down from Chicago, and we hung out and talked about things, and enjoyed watching his 4 1/2 year old son climb on everything that doesn't move.
P.J. takes some time out for a much need drink. This is a water moustache captured on film. Cute kid!
One of the strangest things I ever saw was how these birds managed to sit atop these little mini trees in the water. 
Zoltan and PJ. A great father-son walk in the park.
Took a short walk today, it was windy and cold again, despite the sun that you see. In celebration of the upcoming holiday tomorrow, I made a mental note to take my picture in front of this street sign. I think it works, but I should've shaved.
You can see by the sway in the hanging Spanish moss just how windy it was. And that air had a chill in it.
Took a little time out to shoot a picture in the sun. You'd think I'm at a ranch but this is the parking lot of one of the local churches. Pretty scenery out here.
This is my 42nd walk. Today I went over to the Carillon park to get my walk in before the evening. EJ is playing in a concert tonight, and I've about had enough of the dark. I did the two rounds instead of the one, so I got in a good, complete walk.
Posing cool. Yeah right, should have moved that trash can. Darn!
I love this tower! It rang when I was walking today. Striking 4 o'clock. It has that big bell sound and rang out something similiar to the NBC theme.
Like a sheet of glass! That tower casts a magnificent mirror image in the lake. I can't get enough of this icon!
Tonight is my 41st walk on a Wednesday night, lottery night. I stopped into the local convenience store and picked up a couple of tickets. Hey! Who knows? It could happen.
Did I mention it was cold? Well, it's 50 tonight and very breezy. I took this picture for my buddy Tom up in Washington D.C. because he's been trapped in his house for about a week in the insane Mid-Atlantic snowstorm of 2010. They're calling it "Snow-mageddon" and it's been pretty crazy up there! Sorry guys, we're busy sweatin' this 50 degree weather.
I haven't been to El Cap in about 3 years. Went there for lunch today and had the talapia sandwich. It used to be grouper, but that's pretty rare and expensive these days. Nevertheless, it was just great!
Today is a bit of a milestone. 40 walks and still counting! That's pretty good. I don't know how many people would believe I could actually commit to something like this, I can't even say that I believed it, but I think I found the solution. Whatever it is, it's inside me and if I figure it out, I'll tell you the secret. I just turned it into "my thing" and I enjoy "my thing" now. You know why? Because its MY thing.
This is a big vacant lot for sale just up the street from where my walks begin. One day this will be a front yard to a home and someone will be telling me to get off their lawn! But you know what that will mean? I'm still out there walking!
I love this tree and little patch of growth. It's sort of the mini haunted forest of my neighborhood walks. Love this little patch.
Okay, here's a preachy little environmental moment... three days ago, maybe a week this was not filled with trash. It was a clean marshland. This is disgusting and I now have to pass it every day. One day, I'll find a way to clean it up. I hate this. Find a trash can please, or better yet, stop your drinking and driving.
