Theme Day - Lines

A bit obvious, perhaps? Eh, so sue me. October comes and I think of the spookier things, it just happens! These lines were found in my back yard of all places.

There are other photo blogs taking part in theme day. Check them out here:

I left my heart in San Francisco

Did you think you were looking at a photo of San Francisco? Well, this building is here in downtown San Diego. This is the only Victorian hotel of this era still located on its original site, according to the the Gaslamp Quarter Historic Foundation. Built in 1887 as the Grand Pacific Hotel, it was used at the turn of the century for "community relief services" and also housed the children's hospital until 1920.

Theme Day - Numbers

There are numbers painted on the ground aside the trolley tracks at America Plaza. I don't know officially what they're for, but my guess is that they're for the drivers - this one being, "if you have 3 cars, stop here."

There are other people playing today's Theme Day. Go choeck 'em out!:

Uncommon

My neighbor built this bird house and after a year or more we are still waiting for a family to move in. It is not raining today, but Brent commented that he wanted to see rain photos and this may be the one rain photo for the year! On another note, I got tagged by Jenny of Sharon, Connecticut! I never participate in these things and don't forward emails that tell me if I don't forward to 10 people I'll have bad luck BUT, in the spirit of this community I thought I shouldn't be a party pooper AND I've learned some interesting things about other people that have posted 8 things about themselves, so here goes...

Eight things you probably didn't know about me:
1. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 13 years before I moved here.
2. While doing research for an upcoming trip to the Dordogne region in France, I came across Paris Daily Photo and decided to start this blog.
3. Probably because of #1, I didn't like San Diego very much until I started this blog.
4. I love yoga. It helps me to remember to relax my shoulders and to breathe!
5. I think I'm an "old soul".
6. I played lacrosse in college.
7. My friend and I did a bike/camping tour from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas (approximately 1,000 miles). We rode our bikes about off and on for 500 miles and took the bus through the desert.
8. I have a full sized Ms. Pac Man arcade game in my living room.

Here's the rules that I'm going to break a little bit:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List 8 random facts about yourself.
3. Tag 8 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blog.

I'm going to tag Eric of Paris, Eliane of New York, and Antonia of Sofia. As much of a pain as these things are, they can be fun, right?

Sister Cities - theme day

The goal of the Sister Cities is to "Promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, & cooperation - one individual, one community at a time." This is the view from San Diego (county) of our sister city Tijuana, Mexico which is about 20 minutes from downtown San Diego. You can see the border fences, the Mexican flag, and the landmark Tijuana Arch built in 2000.

Cool globes - theme day

Yesterday was the last day of the "Cool Globes" exhibit in Balboa Park. There were 35 larger-than-life globes each one with a message about how to reduce global warming.
This "trashy" one above was my favorite. The project was first displayed in Chicago and has gone to Washington DC and San Francisco. Next year they will visit Los Angeles and London. See more cool globes, spheres and circles from the Daily Photo group - Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

Ballpark

Tonight is the Major League Baseball All-Star game where the National League plays against the American League and where the players are chosen by fans and baseball managers. San Diego Padres pitcher Jake Peavy will be the starting pitcher for the National League team. The game will be played in San Francisco and I probably won't be watching, but I thought I'd show you a glimpse of our baseball stadium PETCO Park which is located downtown close to the Gaslamp District.

Food for the New Year

Chinese New Year is this Sunday so I thought I'd show a local Chinese restaurant. To be honest, I haven't found a favorite Chinese food place here in San Diego. I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area where there are lots of inexpensive delicious Chinese food places. I haven't tried the Emerald Chinese restaurant that Stu mentioned, but I heard that it is one of the best in San Diego. Any suggestions?

Best of 2007

On the first of every month the Daily Photo group has a theme day and this month's theme is to show our best photograph from 2007. I chose the above photo (originally posted 5/17/07) because I wanted to show you one of the great photos that Alexandra contributed this past year and also to thank her for her many contributions to this blog. Alexandra took this photo of these dolphins at Sea World checking out this oblivious dog. Thank you all for visiting and Happy New Year!

Theme Day - What SD is known for

It is theme day for the Daily Photo blogs and this month's theme is "what your city is known for". I try to do a food theme every Friday as well and San Diego is known for its Mexican food. Don't you just miss it so? Here is the surf and turf burrito from JV's Mexican Food. Yes, those shrimps are as big as a quarter and the carne asada was delicious too. The whole thing weighed about 4 pounds and cost around $7.00. On the plate is about 1/4 of the whole burrito. P.S.: JV's salsa isn't for babies. More cities highlighting what their city is known for:

Theme Day - Water

Built from 1813-1816, the Old Mission Dam in Mission Trails Regional Park is one of the oldest water projects in the western U.S. Using lime and crushed seashells as mortar, Indians and Spanish settlers used ropes, pulleys, and hand labor to build this 250 foot long, 10 foot thick, and about 12 foot high dam. Get into the flow by checking out other Daily Photo cities with water as the theme:
