Sea Port Village and Coronado

Earlier this week my friend Jessica suggested that she and I should drive down to San Diego, walk around and explore new locations. I don't do this as often as I would like too but, yesterday we went. As we wandered, of course I snapped several photos.

My favorte pictures were taken from the sand, looking out into the sunset, in front of Hotel Del Coronado. A beautiful historic hotel opened in 1888.

Our short adventure started by parking her car in the parking lot of Horton Plaza. A fabulous place to shop, if you aren't a "starving artist". Since, neither of us have much spending money we kept away from the shops and only ventured there to validate our parking ticket.

Jessica wanted to walk down to Sea Port Village and take some photos of the boats and near surroundings. Unfortunately, neither of us knew or realized ahead of time, that the docks were private. So, I was left feeling less inspired.

We continued to walk back to her car. The more we walked around, the hungrier I became. The Gaslamp area of San Diego is filled with restaurants and little shops. Both too tempting. We still had about an hour left of the sun so, we got back into the car and went across the Coronado bridge. Ending at the beachfront to finish our short, photographic adventure.

Muted tones







I have been going through the pictures that I took yesterday at Balboa Park and Coronado and I like a bunch of them. I am having trouble deciding which are my favorites. So, I may be posting all kinds of different ones from the same day because I like too many. Tons more to come soon:)

All That Glitters Is Gold




Today I went down to Balboa Park, in San Diego. It's such a beautiful place and it's wonderful to take pictures at. I went there with my friend to scout out some cool locations to come back to. While we were looking around for good spots for the next time we go there we shot a few pictures. I was bummed because we got there a little too late in the afternoon and the clouds were blocking most of the sunlight. After we went to Balboa park we cruised over to Coronado Island and took a few pictures on the beach.

For now, here are two pictures. The first is from Coronado Island and the second one, Balboa Park. I will be editing plenty more soon:) I'll keep you posted.

Of course, my styling for this shoot is vintage:) Except the shoes, those are from Reflection. I couldn't resist buying them.
