Wall Springs Park is a 210 acre park that meanders around St Joseph's Sound and Boggy Bayou here in Palm Harbor Florida. The park was once used for bathing since there is a natural spring that connects out to the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico. When we come here for our morning walks, we spend time on the various fishing piers feeding the bait fish and identifying the various species. Today we saw 3 Snook (they are NOT in season nor will they be this year on the Gulf Coast due to the freeze three years ago that killed off so many of their population), large schools of Sheepshead, enough Mullet to open a roadside smoker, dozens of large Needlefish, several Redfish, a couple of large schools of Stingrays and assorted bait fish (Greenbacks, Pinfish, Grunts, baby Mullet, etc). Today we al...

Early morning preening at Wall Springs Park in Palm Harbor Florida brings to mind a flock of wild birds getting their feathers in order after a good night's rest and that is exactly what I was able to photograph. Ronnie and I enjoy walking down to Wall Springs Park in the morning.......we mix it up and don't go there every morning, sometimes we walk in the other direction. Our walks cover about four miles almost every morning and all of these photos were taken with my iPhone 4s!  I find it pretty amazing, that a cell phone can take such fantastic photographs! Imagine if it had a zoom on it, what I could do! Wall Springs Park in Palm Harbor Florida is a great destination and when you get there first thing in the morning (they open at 7 am) you get to see the birds preening!  And as you c...

Sutherland Bayou Park & Public Boat Ramp in Palm Harbor Florida now also has a bait store on site. This is great news for fishermen who used to get out to the boat ramp and were suprised that there was no bait shop on site. Well, things have changed! Now you can purchase live bait, tackle, ice and an assortment of food and drinks right at the Bait Shack! I noticed this during one of our morning walks down the Pinellas Trail  and wanted to be sure to let everyone know about this addition to Sutherland Bayou Boat Ramp here in beautiful Palm Harbor Florida.

John Chesnut Park at 2200 East Lake Road in Palm Harbor Florida also has a great doggie park! Located on the eastern shores of Lake Tarpon, this beautiful park is 255 acres! It is here that you will find another one of Pinellas County's great doggie parks for your four legged friends to romp with other dogs. The park offers showers for cooling off and water fountains for your pets. There is NO swimming allowed in the park for humans or pets. Lake Tarpon DOES have alligators, so swimming would NOT be a good idea! Be sure to check out the links to see all that is offered for your dogs and what the rules and regulations are regarding hours and use of the facilities.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! I went to Sweetbay Supermarket in Palm Harbor Florida on my way home from showing properties today and who did I find there? Peter Rabbit was there along with a few blue faced helpers!  It was so cute that I pulled out my handy iPhone 4s and snapped a photo to share right here in ActiveRain! Kids were lining up with their parents to get their photo taken with Peter Rabbit. I thought it was an adorable idea!

Palm Harbor does indeed have some magnificent waterbirds and I was able to photograph a few this week during our early morning walks. Naturally, waterbirds love Wall Springs Park since they have over two hundred acres of natural preserve to enjoy and as the sun is coming up there are very few people around. The spring fed waters are a favorite of various species of tropical and nontropical birds. Many fish the estuaries as well, looking for their morning meal. Living here along the Gulf Coast of Central Florida in the Palm Harbor area is indeed living in Paradise!

Wall Springs Park in beautiful Palm Harbor Florida is another one of Pinellas County's great parks! Located off of Alt 19 just north of Aldermann Rd, Wall Springs Park can also be reached via the Pinellas Trail. As a matter of fact, it is one of my favorite early morning walking destinations.  This 210 acre park was once a popular spa and swimming spot, attracting visitors for miles. Today the park includes picnic tables, a wonderful play area for the kids, shelters that can be rented out for parties, restroom facilities, hiking trails, fishing piers and a 35 foot observation tower for viewing the wildlife that make their home along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. What I love about Wall Springs Park is that it is a visit to what Florida used to look like everywhere. There are an abund...

Waterfront Land! On the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in beautiful Palm Harbor Florida! I took these photos this morning, as the sun was just coming up and the sky still had shades of pink! There is a little over a half an acre of land (26,083 sq ft) right on the shores of St Joseph's Sound and the Gulf of Mexico on Indian Point in Palm Harbor Florida! Living in the Palm Harbor area is indeed wonderful.

Palm Harbor Florida - This morning Ronnie and I took an early morning walk along the Pinellas Trail from our home in Crystal Beach Florida up to Wall Springs Park. We took a little detour up Hillsborough Street and past Shady Lane. Since I had my new iPhone 4s camera along, I naturally took a few photos to share. Shady Lane and Hillsborough Street are short residential streets that lead to St Joseph's Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. Living along the shore as we do gives us the opportunity to  take these walks by the water! I cannot imagine ever living anywhere else! If you are interested in enjoying the Florida Lifestyle, give me a call today so we can begin your search for a home here along our fantastic Gulf Coast in the Palm Harbor Florida area!

Peter Rabbit was out and about this morning! Ronnie and I took an early morning walk over to Wall Springs Park in Palm Harbor Florida and spied Peter Rabbit along the way! When questioned, Peter Rabbit admitted that he was on the way to visit my Granddaughter, Aubrey! So I posted his photo on her mom's Facebook page, so they could identify him when he arrives! Be sure to watch out for Peter Rabbit coming to your house with his basket of goodies this week!!!

Palm Harbor Florida - February 2012 Market Report The market has certainly changed during the last six months. We are seeing the swing beginning from a buyer's market back to a seller's market! The time homes are on the market is declining and multiple offers are becoming the norm once again! So what has actually closed during the last six months in Palm Harbor Florida? Well, if you look at the graph above, you can see the number of single family homes that have sold. Average time on the market has also been drastically reduced as you can see in the second graph. Homes are no longer sitting on the market for months, waiting for a buyer. Last month the median time on the market for single family homes was 52 days! When we turn to condos, townhomes and villas that have sold here in Palm H...

Silverware To Tell Time - that is indeed different and why I had to share this unusual clock with you! Clients of mine have this unusual clock in their family room where everyone can enjoy it! Made from old silverware, it is indeed one of a kind and something that you are not going to find again! That is why I had to take a photo to share with everyone! This is something I would love having in my own home! A unique clock indeed! My mother had an antique store and because of that we had a house full of antique clocks....everything from china to wood and many were a couple of hundred years old, but I have never seen one as unusual as this work of art!  Mom would really love to have been able to see this! I know she would have attempted to purchase it from the owner. I did - but no deal!  ...
