south coast metro homes: May The Wind Always Be At Your Back-Speechless Sundays - 05/22/11 04:32 AM

Newport Harbor, CA
I love this picture because the water in the foreground looks as though it was painted by hand. Plus I would love to be a kid again and take one of these little boats out for a spin!
As a kid, I always thought it would be great to have taken a small sail boat like these out on a lake or beautiful harbor like Newport Beach.
