From The Harbor To The Sea

Yesterday was a full day with my friend Beth. We met at 10am and we made our way to Point Loma, just about 5 miles from her place. I had no idea what to expect, all I knew is that I was going to get to enjoy the ocean.

We arrived at Point Loma where we made our first stop at the harbor


And watched Navy ships


Cruise from the harbor out to sea


We were the audience and enjoyed lots of commotion in the sky and observed lots of touch and go at the base across the way.


And watched sailors pass by

Again ~ zoomed in


Another Navy ship heading out


I think this was the refuel ship – zoomed in


After a nice long visit at the harbor, we made our way up to the lighthouse.


Point Loma Light House (1855 – 1891) – The lighthouse stands over 400 feet above sea level. In January 2004 the National Park Service completed restoration of the grounds of Point Loma.

After spending time at the lighthouse we then made our way downward to the other side to enjoy views of the cliffs along the sea.

The path we trod


Huge boulders


A sign I’m here


I stand amazed


Me


Amazing views


And we climbed along the coast


It was worth the effort


Our descent


We timed the coast side for low tide, so happy we did. Can you see the water line along the cliffs?


A little closer to show the high tide line better


The sounds of waves crashing and views of birds passing was so relaxing


I wanted to take in each and every step along the way. What a peaceful day.


Ever changing landscape along the coast


The path down


Looking back from whence we came


What a treasure at the end of the stairs. It felt crazy standing where waves were crashing at high tide. So happy Beth thought to find out when it was going to be low tide.


This is the spot where we decided to park it for a while. We stopped to just take it all in.


From the same area


I’m still here but not for long as we needed to head back to the condo to get ready for dinner.


So we picked up late afternoon


And went back to Beth’s

Back over to Fred’s in Old Town for dinner. We’re finally enjoying great Mexican food again!


Love the ambiance there – Rolling out homemade tortillas


Cooking them on the grill


Cheers to great friendships, amazing ambiance and delightful dining outside. Shot taken as we were leaving.


Love our friendship and these days spent together. I still feel like I’m back in yesterday, thanks my friend.
