Today was not a good day for the Leland Report as the server has been down all day and I’m just able to post. NEWPORT HONORS ALEXANDER JANKO The 2016 Newport Beach Film Festival has awarded writer/director/composer Alexander Janko its OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN FILMMAKING: SCREENWRITING honor for YEAR BY THE SEA. With four sold out screenings and a wonderful… Read more »
One of my favorite indicators of spring is the forsythia that blooms, and heading north into Leland is an amazing row, just popping now. It’s a clear, cool spring day up north!
A cloudy, breezy beginning to what has become a beautiful April day. Still on the chilly side, but the weekend promises to be better. Leland shops that were closed for the winter are beginning to open for the season. Biscuit and I stopped by Blue Boat Coffee to say hello to Joe and Greta Campo. Joe is co-owner along with Nels… Read more »
A busy day that left me scrambling for pictures to take for this report. Van’s Beach and South Beach were easy because Biscuit and I are there every morning. On Reynolds Street, the snow is collected from all over town and dumped there until it melts.
The Joy’s fishing season is officially underway: the watermen set the first trap net over the weekend. And, if “April showers bring May flowers,” we should be expecting beautiful flowers in this area!

Another nice beginning to a late April day, but on the cool side. Not a ripple on Carp River, providing a mirror image of the Library and Museum. South Beach was host to the Saturday Rockers. The afternoon became clouded over and rain is promised for tomorrow.
The transition from fair skies to cloudy was very visual. Looking north at blue sky with wispy white clouds and looking south at dark and dense. The above picture shows you what was in between.
After a couple of warm wake-ups, this am’s chilly air wasn’t the best, but that’s one of the problems with this time of year, you get a couple of Summer days and then it’s back to Spring. The wispy white clouds and the color of Big Blue highlighted this days beauty. We have exited from a relatively easy Winter and are enjoying how 2016… Read more »
On Sunday afternoon, Joel Petersen took the Joy out for the first time since its compete overhaul, and said he was more than satisfied with how it handles now with the higher rails and resulting added weight in the stern. We are looking forward to the season’s whitefish catch… especially since spring has arrived, and with it, eagerness to… Read more »
