I love that picture…

My My wife and I walked down the beach as the sky began to lighten.

The world was coming alive around us.

That big cruise ship was still making its way into the port of San Diego.

I actually took a few pictures of the waves crashing on the rocks…

You know… trying to get that one perfect shot…

I guess, after the picture I started the post with, the one I like the most, I didn’t really need to share all the rest…

But I hate to waste a perfectly good photograph.

Now, usually, when you are right on a beach on the Pacific Ocean, you have to walk quite a ways in order to see the sun rise over water… but we were on Coronado Island… which is, technically, an isthmus…

So we just had to walk back past the Hotel Del Coronado…

And across the strand to get to the harbor in San Diego bay…

There really is nothing quite like the reflection of boats on still water when the light is just right…

I love boats… have I mentioned that?

And there it is… the money shot… the sun peaking up over the mountains in Tijuana, Mexico.

And there is the famous Coronado bridge.

There was a cool statue of a guy doing a handstand on the roof of a building…

I do love me some whimsical art.

And then my wife and I went back over to the beach… on our way to the awesome breakfast buffet at the Hotel Del…

And we sat on a rock and watched the sunlight dance on the waves…
