Southwestern Spring Drive
We are out early again -- to avoid the crowds of aggressive exercise walkers and to catch the sunrise over the harbor. We are near the southwestern-most corner of the US. 
It's very quiet, still, and peaceful. I could almost have a nap on the bench, but no, we are here to walk about
"Lamb's Ear" my wife says, with conviction.
I'm immediately transported back in time and space to an afternoon walk in England, where she faced off with a some sheep in an English churchyard.
But the spell breaks and we continue our walk along the water.
We see a flock of "birds of paradise" who are much quieter than the noisy gulls that have begun to circle the cove.
Perhaps this tiny fisherman has lost some of his catch to the birds ...
We walked through the Southwestern Yacht Club. We'd never strolled through here before, although we've been to the San Diego Yacht Club many times.
I actually forgot to put my big camera in the car today, so this escaping heron can only be seen at a distance.
The sun cracks through the clouds for about 90 seconds, then gives up and fades again.
We've walked a quarter mile back along the beach before the sun shows again.
Which photo do you prefer? Above 1 or below 2. Please let me know.
Passing under a huge Torrey Pine, I happen to look up and see this heron perched above us. I didn't know they perched in trees - I wonder if it's common?
Back to the car, back to the house, breakfast!
Just a note about the watch - this is a very early hand-wound Spring Drive in Credor clothing. The 7R88A2 movement looks like this:

Love it, double love it, triple love it
Love I love the photos. Some of them are really “breathing” the atmosphere you’ve described. Photos march the words Double love it But I loved the story you were telling even more. It has something poetic something romantic. With a nice twitch at the end ...
Thank you, my friend
I'm glad you like the pictures, and thanks for the kind words about my wife. Our recent 45 year anniversary (under lockdown; t'was the best I could do for her) ...
TLC is what it’s all about.
We are approaching our 40th anniversary (2 years from now) and she’s still the woman of my dreams. We met when I was 20 she was 18. Three years later we got married and am still in love with her
Photo from Presidio Park (see my post about walking there)
Roughly 1972 or so, before she became Mrs C ...
Wow
She could have done so much better haha Attached my love before she became Mrs D ...
Thanks for taking us along.
Picture 2 is my choice out of the photos you've asked about. I like the little bit of foreground along with the ducks. Also the greater exposure brightens up the scenery and it seems more lively.
Wait, there's more -- I added a movie
Southwestern Sunrise, the Video! Especially for those who liked the duck sunrise best. Mike
Fantastic! The view and sounds are very relaxing.
It would be a pleasure to spend the morning there.
As long as it's not 4th of July things are usually quite calm
I have no idea where the ducks go on our holidays ...
Amazing pictures! The water is dead calm which must be rare!
And this is one of the nicest spring drive manual wound I have seen. Really love the blue hands on this one! Superb!
