Monday Morning Mist

Good Misty Morning San Diego,

By the time I walked inside and posted this photo, the sky was bright and clear and blue. Enjoy your Monday...

Sunday Surprise

Good Morning San Diego,

What a treat. We have our sunrises back. Summer is here and we have the amazing weather to prove it. Wake up, grab your suit, and lets hit the beach. And for all you sports enthusiasts there is always OMBAC and Over The Line to keep your eyeballs poppin out of your head. Check out this link for all the action:

Woke up this morning to see the NOAA ship swinging quietly on the hook right below us. That would be a fun ride to be on.....

Beach Walk Babies

Welcome to summer beach lovers, all the babes are enjoying the Kellogg Beach walk....

Saturday Sunrise in San Diego

Good Morning San Diego,

My forecast for the day: foggy in the morning brightening to full sun and gorgeousness by 9AM...

Head-em-up, sail-em-out.... San Diego Yacht Club Kids taking their lessons just like Dennis Connor used to.

Our Kellogg Beach path and pier, not a bad spot to take a leisurely stroll with the kids and the dogs....

National Pina Colada Day

Good Morning San Diego, Did you see the moonrise last night? It came up huge and glowing right over the coronado bridge.

Well , if I had known today was a national fo-fo drink day we might have changed the menu last night to include coconut in more than just the shrimp. We celebrated my Brother and his wife coming to visit. From L to R: brother Mike, Capt. Capt. Capt. Pete (long story), sister in law Nonna,

Jimmy Kennedy, Laurie Kennedy, Magic Chef John, and John Jr.

Sunrise, bright and shiny this morning.

Good Morning San Diego

Top O' The Thursday to Ye,

This flower brings out the Irish in me, obviously. I think it should be used in a bridal bouquet for someone, dont you?

This is another of americas finest off to work protecting all that we hold near and dear. Good job, now get back to work.

Good Evening San Diego

Hey Better Late Than Never, Right?

A Little late today, but busy, busy, no time to stop and get rusty, as my Mom used to say. This little bit of steel never sees any rust, you think? This shot is of what I think is the Reagan heading out. (thanks to Jimmy for grabing this shot on my camera while I was galavanting). So keep busy and dont rust or all these cute sailor boys will be ordered to sand you down and brighten you up.... I always did like bellbottoms.

Happy Macaroni Day

Good Morning San Diego,

Today is National Macaroni Day, John is celebrating today of course. I am ecstatic because it is national Tennis month. We both can honor our favorite vices....

San Diego is soft again this morning, no golden sunrise to show you yet, but I'm waiting impatiently, patiently....


This pic is of some of our Finest leaving Americas Finest this morning.

Last night Coronado Island looked like a Russian princess' open jewelry box with a single pearl glowing over it.

Hey, This is supposed to be a workday !!!

Well, someone else was out having the best Monday funday. These were taken about 6pm this evening and they were STILL having a great time. So I decided to join them and have a great time capturing their great time. Now, you can have a great time looking at us all having a great time. Are we having fun yet????

Monday Morning

Good Monday Morning San Diego,

Wakey, wakey, time to go down and pick up all those out-a-towners that love to cruise into San Diego and fill up your guest room for 2 weeks. I saw them arrive at 6am. Are they still waiting for you to pick them up at the dock?

Good Morning Sunshine

Good Morning San Diego,



Well, did we wake up this after 4th of July morning with all our fingers and toes? Good for us. We finally learned that playing with matches actually does cause bodily harm. I hate it when Mom is always right. Even more when she said "I told you so.... now go get the Mercurochrome. Ooowchhhhhh!



After such a spectacularly colorful evening you would think that we would have an equally colorful sunrise. This shot is not black and white. This is what our city looked like at 6:00am today.





This is what it looked like last night. Star Spangled Patriots screaming and flares and gunshots and all. For more fireworks shots I took last night go to

Just click on the link above and you will be sent to my fireworks set on Flickr.

This shot was on the "other side of the hill" (not tracks) last night before we came home to see the "works" on our side of the hill.

Thanks to Gayle and Duncan for a great evening on Sunset Cliffs....

4th of July

A fourth of July Record

1 was a wide-awake little boy who rose with the break of day;

2 were the minutes he took to dress- then he was offf and away.

3 were his leaps when he cleared the stairs, although they were steep and high;

4 was the number which caused his haste, because it was Fourth of July!

5 were his pennies which went to buy a package of crackers red;

6 were the matches which touched them off and then - he was back in bed.

7 big plasters he had to wear to cure his fractures sore;

8 were the visits the doctor made, before he was whole one more.

9 were the dolorus days he spent in sorrow and pain; but then,

0 are the seconds he'll stop to think before he does it again.

Friday

Good Morning San Diego,

Ready for friends, frankfurters, and fireworks? You still have one day to find those illegal sparklers that you tucked away last year, leftover from that trip to an open firework county. Grab the kidletts, and grandma and come to San Diego bay for the best light show you will see anywhere. Ill see you there tomorrow.....

Can you believe it?

Good Morning San Diego,
Can you believe it? I don't want to complain about it, or jinx it, but the very first day of July, and we have our golden sunrise back. I told you so........
