Wedding on Clearwater Beach

Here I sit at home with the remnants of Noel passing through, forty four degrees outside watching a wedding at Clearwater Beach. What a wonderful place to get married. It's about 4:45 in the afternoon , sun is setting, the screamer goes by in the background and I wish I could be there. I know it is warm as there are kids swimming in the channel. The photographer is setting up so the bride must be coming. They lay out the white satin walkway on the sand and everyone is waiting. Here she comes. I can only imagine that she is barefoot under her beautiful white dress. I would be if I were married there. Her veil is blowing in the wind, as I hear the 45 mile an hour gusts outside my skylight. A few boats are wading close by watching the wedding. There are about 50 people there, sitting on the beach in white chairs. It doesn't seem to bother the tourists as one guy is still digging in the sand with his daughter. Can you imagine that.

She kisses the groom and walks down the aisle. Everyone cheers as I can see there hands clapping and arms raised. Two by two the audience leaves after the bride and groom. The crowd disperses, only the children in their bathing suits are left and the guy is still digging a hole.
Someone just took the webcam away from me....

New Pedestrian Bridge in Clearwater Beach

What a great project the new pedestrian bridge is. The new 300 foot walkway will span the western end of Memorial Causeway to Clearwater Beach south of the fishing pier. The St. Petersburg times is writing that it will provide a safe passage for 5000 pedestrians and cyclists per week. This will provide access for people staying in the new developments across the channel and the new proposed boat slips as well. The construction is annoying and hopefully local businesses will survive, but when it is complete, Clearwater Beach will be more accessible to everyone.
