Newport Beach
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
I live about 40 minutes from a number California beaches, a shorter distance than what it takes for me to get to work everyday, yet before this weekend I hadn’t seen an ocean since I visited New York over a year ago. I forget how much I like the beach and its tides until I'm there; such calmness in staring at something so grand...
The Ferris wheel at the Balboa Peninsula Pier.
Painted shells, cute California kitsch! Sounds like a poem doesn't it?
We wanted to rent a boat but not everyone felt up to the adventure, I think the sign might've scared them.
My lovely sister Anna, I really liked her hat... ♥
Scary Tsunami sign...
Place for Taffy.
A little pale... :)
♥♥ ¡Besos! ♥♥

I miss the beach! I'm nowhere near the ocean... :( These are lovely photos! I think you're right about the boat sign scaring people. Ha ha!!
Nice pictures. The boat sign was funny :D
such inviting pictures! I have not been to the beach in a while. your pictures make me want to visit Balboa. My last beach trip was to Venice but I do love those OC beaches.

Gorgeous! I want a beach toooo! The first and last time I heard about Newport Beach was when I watched the OC lol.
Lovely pictures. I love the beach.
Brilliant pictures. I love seeing summer through particularly creative and talented bloggers' eyes!
If I had laid eyes on those painted novely seashells, I fear I would have come home with a purse-full of them! I love them so much!
hehe I do love those painted sea shells!!
All of these photos are wonderful individulally and as a set - so evocative! They make me long for summer, for heat and for happy go lucky holidays! Thank you so much Gabbi for the mini vacation!
I feel the same whenever we visit a beach. Even thought there is one a mere 30min drive it escapes our attention because believe it or not thats too far :( To walk anyway. The weather there looks sooo lovely! I'm missing Summer so much :(
Been a while. Hope you've beem well babe
