Lawn bowlers in Coronado are keeping the tradition alive.
In 1935 the Coronado Lawn Bowling Club was founded at 7th and D Avenue next to the library, and in 2010 the city constructed a world class artificial tournament quality green in the same location.
I'm always impressed with the lifeguard Subarus that easily cruise up and down this long strip of Coronado beach. Plus they look pretty cool with their surf board on top!
I thought this was a nice photo of a typical morning on the beach in Coronado, with lifeguard and surfers doing their thing, until I noticed the man stretching on the right appears to be headless... upon closer inspection, he was just doing a very deep neck stretch.
This was his view last month as the airplane he was flying on came in to land in San Diego at sunset. You can see San Diego under the plane, then the San Diego Bay, the long silhouette of Coronado, and the Pacific Ocean stretching into the distance.
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.
