Can You Guess Where I Am?


I'm not in Coronado this week... can you guess where in the world I am?

For those of you who have been here before, this will be an easy one!

Beach Bonfire


What could be say Southern California more than a beach bonfire at sunset?  I shot this last weekend, looking South toward the Hotel Del Coronado and the Shores condominiums.

There is no doubt about it... life is good in Coronado.

Coronado Village Theater


Village Theater is scheduled to reopen in April, after renovations are complete.  It will be a treat to see a movie only walking distance from our home!

Dog Beach At Dusk



Dog Beach was hopping this evening as dusk faded away to night.  Located at the North end of Coronado beach, Dog Beach is the meeting place for friendly dogs of all sizes.

There's a lot of happy energy here, and it's a hoot to watch the little dogs keeping up with the big guys.

Beach Plants


This tough little plant grows on the dunes at Silver Strand State Park.  I don't know what it's called, but I sure admire its tenacity.  How can it grow in the sand, with just salt spray and morning dew to live on?  Amazing.

The Ferry Landing Tonight


Tonight I hurried past this pond at the Ferry Landing to pick up dinner when I noticed how pretty it looked with the marine layer rolling in over the bay.  I took a moment to absorb the calming solitude before taking home our gyros.

Don't you love the way evening fog creates a romantic scene?

Go Fly A Kite


This was shot at Silver Strand State Beach about 5:00 this evening.

I was waiting for my son's soccer practice to wrap up at a nearby park when I saw this beautiful kite float over the dune.

It turns out people were practicing their kite flying skills for kitesurfing, a sport I haven't tried but love to watch.

Due to the curve of the California coastline you get a nice view of the Shores condominium complex from here.
