Today is the last day of summer. Thank goodness for nature's air conditioner and that we have some clouds and cooler temperatures. Last week was brutal for most of us and most of us do not have air conditioning. I am looking forward to enjoying fall and all the activities associated with it. These photos were taken in Newport Shores in Newport Beach, and the clouds reflecting on the Canal was so beautiful and peaceful today.

I wanted to share this photo tonight as we have had so many gorgeous sunsets despite our incredibly uncomfortable weather. I took this one about a week ago, and with all the humidity as a result of the hurricanes, the sunsets are amazing. Hope you all have had a great Wednesday. And a fantastic rest of the week. This photo was taken in Newport Shores and there is a Canal which surrounds the area. So nice to see the wild life enjoying it. Search the MLS for Newport Shores homes for sale.

Speechless Sundays - Another Beautiful Day       There are so many days when I realize what a beautiful place I live and how lucky I am to be able to call Orange County home.  Being so close to the beach doesn't hurt anything either.   I remember the first time a friend asked me if I thought it was weird to see palm trees everywhere.  I commented that I thought it would be weird  not to see palm trees everywhere.

Newport Shores in Newport Beach | Homes for Sale in Newport Beach   Tonight I am going to share a photo blog with you, the sunset was absolutely amazing, and it kept on getting better and better. Started taking photos with my iPhone then progressed to my Canon 60D as I really cannot go wrong. The sunset kept changing tonight and only got better and better. The clouds were moving in (and hopefully going to give us some rain), and made for an AMAZING sky. Hope you all have a fantastic week!

The Wedge in Newport Beach This photo was taken the day before the waves got really huge at the Wedge in Newport Beach as a result of Hurricane Marie. The surfer got a great ride on this wave. The waves are expected to be big again this weekend as a result of Tropical Storm Norbert, but they are not expected to be as large as last week! Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

How frustrating is it, when you find a home you like on line, and then you discover it is no longer available. . You have done all your due diligence, met with a lender, obtained a pre-approval letter, selected which Realtor is going to represent you, and now it is time to start looking for property. Times have changed significantly, and home buyers can begin their home search right at home or on their smart phone. Many Real Estate websites have what is called IDX - internet data exchange - which shows the listings right on that website. Newport Beach Real Estate has a home search option. There are several different statuses that are available, and the purpose of this post is to explain the different status that you may encounter when searching for a home for sale. Active: means the pro...

High Surf Advisory in Newport Beach As a result of Hurricane Marie, there is a high surf advisory which began today at noon and will be in effect until Friday evening. The waves were already pretty large today and are expected to be bigger tomorrow. These photos are from the Wedge in Newport Beach and they are expecting to have waves as large as 20'. They were not that big today, however, they were very powerful. Lifeguards were on duty and kept the crowds back. Really with these conditions, they are only for the experienced body boarder, body surfer or surfer. Here are some photos from today, and I will be going back this week to take additional photos to share. Please, if you are an inexperienced swimmer, do not even attempt to swim or go out in this incredible surf. Originally posted...
