Fall Season in the Newport Beach Area - Club Chaos OctECP10

Fall Season in the Newport Beach Area

In Newport Beach, while there are not many trees which have the changing of the colors, you can definitely notice the change in seasons in many ways. One way is that the sun is in a different position in the sky, and therefore the sunsets are different. In this picture, the sun is setting right over Catalina Island, and this photograph was taken from a home in Cameo Shores in Corona del Mar.

Also, in certain areas, such as Newport Shores in Newport Beach, the wild life is different. During spring and summer months, Newport Shores has blue and white Herons, ducks, seagulls and sand pipers just to name a few. During the fall, not only are those birds evident, but a beautiful white swan Swancomes for a visit. In prior years there have been two swans, but now only one comes back. Occasionally, I have seen swans in Newport Harbor. Also, during the fall and winter months in Newport Shores, the Pelicans will come and visit as well.

 

In Newport Beach, the temperature is of course cooler, but not cold as in other parts of the country.

  

Fall in Southern California has typically clear weather, however off shore winds also call the Santa Ana windscan be prevalent. This is view from a home in Crystal Cove with a view of Palos Verdes in the distance.  crystal coveCrystal Cove is has panoramic sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and as far north as Long Beach and Palos Verdes.  

One downside of the Santa Ana winds is that the humidity drops very low, and the weather is very dry. This creates incredible fire danger in Southern California which has been going on here for the past several days.

 

Corona del Mar (which literally means Crown of the Sea) is a community of Newport Beach. Some of the areas include Cameo Shores beaches, and these photos were taken on a cool Fall morning while exploring the beach at Cameo Shores. The sea life is so beautiful.

The beaches at Cameo Shores are stunning with incredible sea life. It is a beautiful place to explore. This photo looks cameo shores beachlike a window on the world - a climb through. Here is another one in the distance the waves crash through.

This photo is a view of Newport Harbor looking out towards the jetty - it is very quiet with few boats out that day.

This is a view in Corona del Mar, and the water is incredibly clear as you can see the kelp in the water. There are a few boats anchored in the distance, but overall it is a pretty quiet boating day.corona del mar
