The past couple of weeks have been really busy for me. I hate it that, when things get busy and something has to be pushed aside so that I can do what I have to do, it always seems to be the something that I enjoy the most! I love finding photographs to take and [...]

This weekend, downtown St Petersburg was the focal point for the 27th annual St. Anthony’s Triathlon. Saturday, it was the Meek and Mighty event, geared for children. And Sunday was the main event, with a 1.5K swim, followed by a 40K bicycle ride and a 10K run. Four thousand athletes were expected to participate! The St. [...] If you need a little motivational boost to get outside and do some spring sprucing up of your yard, head to Walter Fuller Park to the 24th Annual Green Thumb Festival. The festival runs Saturday and Sunday from 9AM to 4PM. This festival is our combination Earth Day/Arbor Day celebration, free for all to enter, [...] This morning, at about 10 AM off the east end of The Pier, something like 30 beautiful sailboats set sail for Mexico! It was the start of the “Regata del Sol al Sol”, which translates, approximately, to ’Boat Race from the Sun to the Sun”. As I keep on saying, St. Petersburg is full of fun things [...] Long, Beautiful Hair – Shining, Gleaming, Streaming Flaxen Waxen… I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this play! It would surely reveal my age if I were to tell you that I first saw the play during its original Broadway run, in 1969, while traveling around the country with my good friend. We didn’t [...] Last Thursday, I published a post about the upcoming Mainsail Arts Festival, which took place in Vinoy Park on Saturday and Sunday. In my post, I showed this year’s Mainsail poster, which featured the work of Duncan McClellan, a local Fine Art Glass Artist whose work is loved by aficionados throughout the country and whose [...] The west coast of Florida has a number of great outdoor art shows throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. For St. Petersburg, our premier outdoor art event is, unquestionably, the Mainsail Arts Festival. Held on the waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, this year’s Mainsail will be the 35th instance of this show! That’s pretty remarkable, but [...] The big race of the Grand Prix was rescheduled Sunday afternoon when lightning and heavy rain made conditions too dangerous for both drivers and spectators. The race took place Monday morning, and I had a great view from the 27th floor of the Bayfront Tower condominium building. There were dozens of residents and guests standing [...] Last night, we went downtown to see the Illuminated Night Parade. It didn’t seem as illuminated as usual, but that’s because of Daylight Saving Time. It just wasn’t all that dark out! But, still, it was fun to sit back at the end of a long day, enjoy the breeze as the sun prepared to [...] I’m sorry to tell you that this exhibit is already gone, but it’s still worth posting about, because it will be back again next year. I had never heard of Art In Bloom before, but when we went to the Museum last weekend to check it out, we learned that this was actually the tenth [...] |
