oh say can you see (and hear, touch, and taste)

I’m celebrating Independence Day in Coronado, an “island” south of Downtown San Diego. For 74 years, their annual July 4th parade has made its way for down Orange Avenue, the main drag in town. . Military presence is strong here as North island is the birthplace of naval aviation and the city honors its veterans and those who are actively listed.

A parade of achievements

I love parades; but I’d rather shoot pictures of a parade than watch one. Thankfully this year, the Coronado Independence Day Parade was in full swing after last year’s cancellation.
