The Coronado Sandman

Driving along First Street this morning I saw the Sandman approaching, and whipped out my camera to get a picture.

The Sandman is a talented local artist who creates impressive works of art out of sand.  Yep, just sand.  They blow away quickly, so you have to appreciate them in the moment as they disappear in a day or two.

The Sandman is a dapper dresser as you can see, riding his bike through the streets of Coronado on his fully equipped bike.  

I have to explain the blurry photo - there's a lot of motion going on here - Sandman was in motion, I was driving, and my arm was moving trying to turn on the camera and take the photo before the opportunity passed.  Thank goodness for my trusty Canon G11!

Happy Valentines Day

Who needs diamonds, champagne and chocolate?  The Coronado Sandman will write your "I love you" in sand!

In case you haven't caught my previous posts, the Sandman is an elusive local artist who creates beautiful, for-the-moment artwork with sand.

Happy Valentines Day!

The Best Place To Be

You might remember the Sandman from a previous post... he's a talented but illusive artist who creates his fleeting masterpieces out of sand on Coronado streets, sidewalks and jogging trails.

I found this message on the path near the Hotel Del Coronado, and thought it was the perfect message for visitors to Coronado.  Since there is no artwork involved, I can't be sure it's the Sandman's, but I have a hunch it is.

I Heart You

I'm not sure if this is the work of the Sandman, or lovers on the beach...  whoever wrote it, it is simply romantic.

Enjoy your weekend!

Ferry Landing At Night

There is always something going on at the Coronado Ferry Landing.  It is very romantic at night, with the city lights shining across the bay from San Diego.

Look on the right side of the pier, and you can see the Sandman has paid a visit.  The Sandman is a talented sand artist.  Yep, he creates with sand, so his art must be admired quickly, before it blows away!

The Coronado Sandman

The Sandman is a talented local fellow who creates whimsical, temporary sand art on the streets of Coronado.  I found this cheerful image on Ocean Boulevard this morning while riding my bike.  Written on the side was "Happy Birthday Kim."
