The Hotel Del Coronado is always a great place to visit around Christmas time. We go to see the huge Christmas tree that they have in their lobby. One year it was decorated all with teddy bears; another year it was a wizard of oz theme and once it was all band instruments. This year's tree was nothing to write home about, but we enjoyed the trip anyway and loved walking by the ocean in front of the hotel, where I got this shot with my D70. It's Christmas time but everything seems faster now and we're all too busy.
