La Jolla is a wealthy seaside resort community, occupying seven miles of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean. La Jolla in Spanish means "The Jewel". It is the Jewel of San Diego. La Jolla is located 15 minutes from downtown and is pronounced /ləˈhɔjə/ "luh-HOY-uh". Although officially a part of San Diego, California, La Jolla retains its own small-town atmosphere and its own civic pride.

Love that beach shot!
The right age to be happy is NOW!
"...There is only an age for us to be happy,
only one season in the life of each person
where we can dream and make plans
and have enough energy to perform them
in spite of all difficulties and obstacles.
One is old enough to enchant us with life and live passionately...
So think about now...Now is your opportunity to create, to open doors, to learn something new, to help others, to help yourself...Now is the right time , the right age to be happy!
Sorry dear friend, sometimes I lost control to philosophy thoughts...But you see what this wonderful post can do with me!
Many thanks for sharing!

You are good at what you do.. you can bet i'm always going to come around checking out your pics..
Thanks for your 'sweet' comment, Nancy. I'm glad to come and dip into your great blog.
Hi Nancy, thank you for visiting my site and leaving such nice comments.
Wow, you live in such a fantastic place! I live about as far inland as you can get from the coast in the UK and really miss the sea - I'm overdue a visit, I can tell!
I love the photos, so I'll certainly be calling in again.
In all the time I lived in San Diego and used to visit La Jolla, never knew it was Spanish for The Jewell. That name fits perfectly. Love your photo.
Beautiful! As I kid I always loved going to La Jolla Cove and going down all those steps!
You have to show us more photos from this coastline. And it's right on your door step, you lucky....

This is a wonderful site! Also like the lifegard tower perspective a lot!
Your photos are wonderful. We enjoyed our trip to Califorina. It offers so much... sea, mountains, desert. It is a very unique state. I would love to go again.
There is just no place like La Jolla!
I love those pictures, La Jolla is one of my favorite places of SD !!
Ahhhh... my favorite place! Thanks again for all your wonderful comments... You always make me smile.
I've always heard of this place but never seen it. I understand why it is called "The Jewel." A beautiful gem indeed!
La Jolla has some of the best beaches for surfing which include Black's beach for advanced surfers and Tourmaline for beginners. San Diego overall has some fantastic beaches.UCSD was recently ranked the top university in the United States for surfing. www.sdsurfspots.com
