Lens Artists Photo Challenge – Everyday Moments
Newport Beach in southern California is 27 miles or 35 minutes’ drive from our home. We go often to spend half a day there. The Beach offers family activities such as whale watching, harbor cruise, fishing, dining, museum, Ferris wheel, water sports and more. We have done different activities or simply take a leisure walk along the beach.
Balboa Island is an island along the harborside. There are 3,000 residents live on 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2). A lot size on Balboa Island is 30 feet x 85 feet. Residents have private docks for their yachts. It’s delightful to walk through the community to appreciate the different motif of the decorations.

Lovely moments Miriam.

It’s a good place to go whale watching. Not the best, one blogger went to Malibu area and had close up look of the humpback. I would like to do that. 🙂

Muggy and hot but have not really noticed (sniff) cos I have been indoors at a few places (or car w ac) and after this week my schedule changes and so my goal is to get outside more

I try to get outside too early in the morning, so for a little walk or do some gardening. By 9am, I must get back into the house.

Oh that is nice – and glad it works – for the last many many summers I would write outside and usually have a nice tan (not for vain reasons but for the vitamin d and just usually get one in summer but when I lived in Florida in 90s I was never really tan!)
Anyhow – with all the rain this summer – sun time and schedule is messed up-
And first summer we are dogless so I wonder if that matters

Three times a week, I go to the gym with hubby, but just getting in and out of the car and building, not enough time outside to feel the heat.
Oh you don’t need to walk the dog. I wonder if you’d miss that.

Getting some outdoor air is good. Oh, what do do use to get transparent feature?

There are a few ways – in the Apple computer editing there are options and then we have photoshop – but I also use a word document and then make it large and slide the transparency bar- pretty simple

I have Window. The Window Photo has black & While but not transparent. I’m ready to buy Photoshop.
