Good Morning from Southern California! It’s Friday, and a crisp autumn day is in store. My mind is rather like this boat at the moment, sailing along, ready for the weekend and new adventures. I hope you enjoy today’s Foto Fix, taken off the coast of Corona del Mar, and have a wonderful day! ~SueBee, […]

We’ve all had the joyful experience of spotting images in the clouds…”Hey, that one looks like a bunny, see the fluffy tail?!” When I’m on a photography outing, I find myself looking for noticeable shapes in different objects. One day, while on a relaxing, post-rain walk at the Fullerton Arboretum, thinking about my wonderful boyfriend, […]

Rain-moistened oranges seem appropriate for today’s foto fix, because…. it rained in SoCal today! Yes, it’s been awhile since water fell from the sky here. Everyone’s glad, particularly traffic reporters on the radio. Their jobs aren’t in jeopardy on days like this. Why? Because many in Southern California don’t know how to drive with wet […]

If you ever have an opportunity to visit Disneyland on your own, without the intention of getting on every ride…to just stroll along Main Street, and check out all the design details…do it! Right now, everything is gorgeously decorated for Fall; the park looks magnificent! With hundreds of uniquely hand-carved pumpkins (no two look alike!) […]

Are you as fascinated by this maze as me? I might as well be 10 years old when I visit, because I spend all my time daydreaming… “that I’m creeping over the fence, my little boat in hand, crawling along, flat to the ground so as not to be spotted, placing my little boat in […]

Always taking a different route when driving around town, I meandered from my son’s apartment near L.A.’s Carthay Square yesterday afternoon, to meet a high school friend for dinner in Montrose. I drove eastbound on Beverly, veered onto Temple from Silver Lake Blvd, until turning left onto Glendale Blvd. That drive was itself totally fascinating, […]

I’ve had a good laugh over the recent kale craze. The curly-edged grayish-green leaves have long been used almost exclusively as decoration, ever since salad bars became all the rage a few decades back.  While I can’t pinpoint on a calendar, kale jumped off the edge of the salad bar to become Southern California’s eat-healthy, […]

Since we’re into October now, it’s time to set the mood… starting with a few creepy shots taken in various Southern California gardens, from Fullerton Arboretum to L.A. County Arboretum, Descanso Gardens to South Coast Botanical Garden. The green gourd monster was photographed at Cal Poly Pomona’s Farm Store, the shadows at the Getty. The […]

Chocoholic?! Here’s the place for you! Eclipse Chocolate, located is South Park – San Diego, doesn’t sell just everyday chocolate…they have some very unusual flavors, including Maple Brown Sugar, Lavendar Sea Salt, Chili Hazelnut, and Blackberry Sage. May sound bizarre, but the taste is incredible! The shop also serves a variety of gourmet hot chocolates […]
