Beautiful Sunset in Newport Beach
Beautiful Sunset in Newport Beach
We finally have sunshine here in Newport Beach after a very gloomy June and into July. The temperatures have been warm the past few days and there has been an increase in moisture. There were even some showers yesterday. However, all that moisture makes for very beautiful sunsets. Last night, I took some photos from in the Newport Shores in Newport Beach of the beautiful sunset.
The humidity is supposed be around through tomorrow, so the Newport Beach area feels a bit tropical right now.
Early this morning, there were several rainbows. 
Hope you are enjoying the weather, and take some photos!

Farmer’s Market Debuts in Newport Beach
Farmer’s Market Debuts in Newport Beach
The Farmer’s Market opened yesterday in Lido Marina Village on the brick lined street of Via Oporto in Newport Beach. We arrived yesterday morning at around 10:15 and there was a good crowd, and most of the vendors had already sold out of many of their goods.
There was organic fruit and vegetables, flowers and orchids. Some of the vendors had samples and I must say the oranges and the berries were delicious – there were yellow rasperries, red rasperries, and blueberries.
The Farmer’s Market in Newport Beach was a great opportunity to meet and greet your friends and neighbors as well.
Next weekend, we will plan on arriving earlier so that the vendors are not sold out.
I really enjoyed the Farmer’s Market and hope to see you next Sunday morning.

Fourth of July in Newport Beach, 2010
Fourth of July in Newport Beach, 2010
The Fourth of July in Newport Beach is a pretty big event and this year was no different. There were celebrations going on through out the city of Newport Beach and the city of Huntington Beach. People were out on bicycles, at the beach, playing volleyball, swimming in the ocean. And the weather cooperated and we actually had sunshine.
This year in Newport Beach, the city blocked off an entrance to not only vehicles, but to bicycles and pedestrians at Balboa Boulevard and Coast Highway. The idea was to control the crowd and number of people that swarm to the beach. People were still able to get to the Balboa Peninsula from Prospect Street or Newport Boulevard.
Rudy’s in Newport Beach had a burger – slider eating contest, and the man in the red shirt won. I believe he ate 13 sliders in 8 minutes. Not only did he have the honor of winning, he won $250.00! I bet he was pretty full, and didn’t want any more burgers on the 4th!
On the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, the police were out in force to keep the activity to a minimum, and the crowds controlled.
People were still out partying and enjoying the day. We rode around the Peninsula on bikes, and just people watched, and went to the beach.
Hope you all had a safe and sane fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July from Newport Beach, CA
Happy Fourth of July from Newport Beach, CA
Happy Fourth of July! July 4th is the 185th day of the year and today is a federal holiday (holiday to actually be observed on July 5, 2010) and this is the 234 year which celebrates the United States independence from Great Britain. The 4th of July Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776.
On the 4th of July in Newport Beach, families get together for parades, barbecues, and get togethers. There are some changes this year if you have intentions of visiting the beach. Make sure you arrive early. There are activities all over town including the Huntington Beach Parade in Huntington Beach, and a Fireworks Extravaganza at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. Additionally, there is the 53rd Old Glory Boat Parade which begins today at 1 pm. Keep in mind that fireworks are illegal in the city of Newport Beach.
One of the biggest changes from last year is that a main entrance to the Balboa Peninsula at West Balboa Boulevard and West Coast Highway will be closed not only to vehicles (as in the past years) but this year to bikes and pedestrians as well. That means all traffic going onto the Balboa Peninsula will be from Newport Boulevard.
Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
