Flora / Fauna: Don't they like palm trees?

  • Don't they like pretty palm trees?

  • It seems that they like them a lot. There are more palm trees in Coronado than in San Diego - in private yards, around public buildings and just along streets.
    Usually they look like these ones on my picture.
    I wonder if they must water them in summertime?


    From Linda:
    Palm trees don’t need to be watered. Natural moisture in the air and rainfall is enough for them to grow.
    Thank you Linda!

  • It seems that each public building (city government, public library, school atc.), each hotel including of course famous Hotel Del Coronado has at least one big American flag - usually on the top. I liked it :-)).

    In most countries I visited national flags are put in some governmental buildings, sometimes on other public buildings, sometimes for national holidays only.

  • I noticed the other (not USA) flag on the other top of the Hotel Del Coronado. Hmm... it looks like simple white and red flag. Is it Polish national flag? Hehe, I don't think so.

    Does City of Coronado have its own flag? What does it look like?

    There are a lot of various flowers in Coronado and they all bloom in April - do they bloom all year round?

  • I noticed that there is a little different dress code in Coronado at least inside and around Hotel del Coronado : more elegant, stylish, fashionable I could say.
    Surely there are people just in jeans and T-shirt but... enlarge my picture :-).

  • Older, elegant ladies used to wear fashionable (hmm... what does it mean fashionable?) hats at least in sunny days (= almost everyday in Coronado). Am I wrong?

    Beach: Rocky beach?
  • Tip Rating:

  • Send to a Friend
  • NO, NO, NO - these rocks on my picture just divide Coronado Beach into two parts: eastern and western.

    As I said before I have never seen rocky beaches with people sitting/lying on the rocks (hehe) in the USA, is it exclusively European custom? Are these rocks put for European tourists? Hehe.

  • It seems that many visitors take their dog (or dogs) to Coronado. Nice friends, especially that it's not so difficult to find a place to walk a dog there - hmm... what about restrooms for their dogs?

    Btw they don't have toilets or WC in the USA, they have restrooms = a place to rest? hehe.

    Look at Ursula's new friend on the picture.

    Do they travel with their dogs? I know now why do they love pick-up cars :-).

     A great page on another lovely California beach town. The bird on your page is a Solitary Sandpiper, I believe.

     Returning to your Coronado to enjoy another sunny day at the beach. It's a lovely area.
    JLBG Fri Sep 22, 2006 05:39 UTC
     Sure the bird is neither an albatross nor a sea gull (long beak, tall legs, coat don't fit). Might be either an American Bittern or better a Ruff but I have no book on American birds to be sure. You have extensively visited South Ca, I was more on North!
