The day started extra early around here.  Hubby was out the door long before the crack of dawn.  So I had the bright idea to watch the sunrise.

I drove up to Mount Soledad, but had my concerns as I was on my way up.  There were twists and turns through fog and I took note of the cloudy conditions.

I’m so happy I stuck to the plan.

While I waited, I decided to snap some shots of the chain link fence/dew combo.

I thought it was an interesting subject.

But when I saw this dew drenched flowering tree, I was in awe.  I love how the tiny flower is laced with dew.  I also like how the dew beads on the tiny strand of spider web.

Then I got caught up with the sunrise.

I really like the cloud and sunrise combo.

Here comes the sun…

It was such a beautiful place to be.

Then I jumped in the car and drove over to Mission Beach. It felt like the thing to do…

The lifeguards arrive…

Ah, I remember this moment when the sun touched down. I love the way the palm trees cast their nice long shadows over the sand.

It was fun to chill and people watch…

The pounding waves are something I could listen to all day long.

Playing his heart out.  With all the commotion of the sea, I couldn’t hear a thing.

I wasn’t prepared to have a breakfast date all alone, but I did.  The aroma of breakfast cooking while taking a stroll on the boardwalk did me in.  So I walked through this door of calories.  I didn’t regret the move…

Next thing I know, I’m looking at this menu…

Soon, piping hot coffee was placed in front of me…

After cleaning half the plate, I was more than satisfied and on my way.  This little guy wanted to be friends so I took his picture.

After breakfast, I tried on a few hats.  This one just doesn’t cut it.  But you want to know something?  I had a lot of fun getting acquainted with this beautiful day, that’s what really matters.
