Let's Go Shopping





If you've ever visited Coronado, you know part of its charm is its selection of gorgeous locally-owned shops, most of which are walking distance from the beach.

The newest in town is Cotier, a home decor store with a seductive mix of coastal style and french country sensibility.  Here's a little peek inside.  Isn't is lovely?

Thanks Pat, for letting me shoot these photos for my blog!

The Ghost Of Kate Morgan



Do you believe in ghosts?  

On November 29th, 1892, the body of Kate Morgan was found at the Hotel Del Coronado on an exterior staircase.  The San Diego coroner ruled the beautiful young woman's death a suicide, but rumor and speculation persist to this day.

For the past 118 years, the ghost of Kate Morgan has been said to haunt the hotel, occasionally surprising guests and employees with harmless mischief.  Books have been published on the subject.

I don't think I believe in ghosts, but the mystery surrounding this unfortunate young woman's death and the public fascination it still holds is intriguing.

Sunrise Over San Diego


I shot this sunrise photograph earlier this month - the palm trees, bay, Coronado bridge and hills of San Diego remind me why I feel so blessed to live here.

Photo was taken at the SDG&E park on First Street in Coronado.

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!

Coronado Bridge At Sunset


I love the colors at the Golf Course at sunset, with the Coronado Bridge reaching over the Bay to San Diego in the background.
