Dolphins in the Mission Bay channel (San Diego)

This is the reason I love the location we stay at when in San Diego. Got to see these two dolphins swimming by in the Channel today. Along with loons, kayakers, sailboats and fishing boats.

Meanwhile, back home....

Our neighborhood digs out from Friday & Saturday's monster storm. Here's our street (photos courtesy of our neighbors as we're clearly NOT there to take them):

Our house in the snow....

Those lumps in the driveway ARE cars. Two are ours, two are the neighbors'. You can see the construction NOT happening on the nieghbor's house....

I'm dreaming of a white Valentine's Day....more snow to come.
This stuff is going to be around awhile...

Hanging out in Mission Beach

It really was cloudy on Thursday; rains are expected today. We just hung around the condo. A regatta finished right outside in the Bay channel!

We took our first hot tub of the season last night! Come on in, the water's fine!

Balboa Park on a "Cloudy" Day

We had to go up the valley today to run errands, so we decided to bop over to Balboa Park for lunch and strolling. I love the bell tower of the California Building (built in 1914) there. Note that this was a cloudy day in San Diego.

The Lawn Bowling green in Balboa Park.

Yet another view of the California Building in Balboa Park, on a typical cloudy day in San Diego.

Balboa Park is one of my favorite places on earth. It was established in 1868. It includes, among other things, the San Diego Zoo. We will be heading over to the zoo soon--they have a new baby panda!

A bad day in San Diego....

Is still a very very good day!

Cloudy today in San Diego. Which means occasionally the sun is obscured by clouds. It was cloudy in the morning, but we had a lot of bright sunshine all day long.

Some pics from my morning walk.

The moon hadn't set yet....

I had a good morning birding, including this :California Quail.
