Harborwalk in Punta Gorda Florida!


Harbor Walk in Punta Gorda is a two and half mile winding pathway along the beautiful Charlotte Harbor shoreline, from Fisherman's Village all the way to Laishley Park and beyond, going under the 41 (Tamiami Trail) bridge as well as the Peace River bridge one too that is actually I 75, only foot and bicycle traffic and doggies too! Much, much safer, ha!
The fifty PICS went directly here from my phone, as I found out how to do that and that my friends is so much faster! But they are backwards from whence we started, but that is okay!



Non-pros meet and play blue grass music weekly, lovely and foot stomping! At Gilchrist Park, newly renovated and still in progress in some areas; one of four pavilions.










Laishley Park!

Our favorite ice cream place, Harborwalk Scoops and Bites, this time I got fat free frozen yogurt in blue raspberry, Yum, Hubby got black cherry ice cream! This was after we had stopped for lunch.






















                                      Ashley the hostess that allowed us to go in with Aussie!

 At the Dockside Grill the outdoor restaurant at the Harborside Resort. Normally no doggies allowed, but when we arrived they were empty so they said we could all stay! I had their beer battered Haddock, chips and lettuce and tomato, Hubby had their burger with same accouterments, his was yummy too! All we took home were their homemade chips! We used our own drinks and as usual Aussie was well behaved, until the hostess Ashley wanted to pet him and he kissed her and jumped and loved the attention as usual!




                                     The inside of this TIKI BAR at the Dockside Grill! Before it started to fill up.
 This is Sugar, a full bred border collie of ten, sweet and she even shared a stick she found with Aussie who promptly played with it and stole it to pass it on or leave it for another canine! Sugar walks off lead, brilliantly!

 This little guy is a 15 week old beagle puppy named Magnum, he and Aussie enjoyed rough housing and playing patty-cake, yup! See, Aussie is only three weeks older and not that much bigger.
 The path goes right past our convention center, amazing!





  One of the two under pathways that we went to head towards many of the places we enjoy on a regular basis!

  These dark grey blotches on the cement edging are actually made to look like sea shells embedded in wet sand, and are all different and a fine permanent idea.










Ponce Deleon statue and fountains, he's all over our state!


 Back at Gilchrist the tennis court. Below Aussie showing his beautiful nice well behaved self.

 The professional photographer above works currently with www.floridapet.net her name is Patty Stefan, her site is: www.pattystefan.com or you can call her @ 941-276-3327 or psphotography@pattystefan.com She seemed to like Aussie a lot, although it took a while for him to stay still for her.

Pickleball court at Gilchrist Park, looks as if they were having a tournament!

This is the new playground still under construction, but it is not only colorful and cheerful it also has a pirate ship to investigate and so many other unique fun things for kids to spin, climb, ride and and imagine upon!

On this note allow me to wish all of you a very happy good night!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
