Bye Bye January – Hello February | I Call The Shot

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures in this post.

Just like that, January is all wrapped up and put away for another year. Speaking of January, I did something for the first time the month of January. Count them; there are 31 posts for the month. That has never happened in the life of this blog. It makes me happy and I feel like I’m finally back!

My New Year goal did not include a blog every single day of the year. My New Year goal did include taking at least one picture a day. I managed to accomplish all the above and then some.

Note: The pictures from this post were all taken yesterday.

I started off with an appointment downtown and polished it off with a visit to several places.

First

It was nice to just pause here a moment…

…take in the surroundings…

…and watch others play.

Then I got in the car and headed over to Coronado Island.

A perfect row of busses

Along the way

While I don’t appreciate the antenna and window glare, I do appreciate this work of art.

A view of the bay from Coronado bridge.

Cruising on into Coronado. In this picture we can see the bay, Coronado Island, the Pacific Ocean and that point in the distance is Point Loma.

There in the distance is a snippet of the 2.1 mile Coronado bridge that I just crossed to get over to the island. The highest point tops off at 200 feet. It was built (open to the public in 1969) high enough for the Navy Ships to get in and out of the harbor AKA home base.

Looking at the San Diego skyline from Coronado.

I watched big boats and little boats do their thing. I wonder if this is some sort of boat for dredging. Ya think?

I strolled, relaxed and enjoyed the day.

I love that deep blue sky. Depending on the direction the camera was pointed, the color really popped.

How fun would it be to tour the island on one of these bikes?

Along my merry way.

Next stop – The Beach!

Zoomed in a bit

I nearly sat on the ground for this shot. Well not quite as you’ll notice another shot on down the line where I stooped lower than this.

Looking straight out is a ship and a couple islands offshore. The ship is located almost in the center of the islands. See them? You can click on the picture to enlarge.
