I couldn’t resist another entry into this week’s photo challenge, Silhouette. This shot was taken in the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles during my recent photography walking tour, and features an unmistakable character, Charlie Chaplin as the Tramp. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Explored the El Dorado Nature Center with Cam. Since there are so many gorgeous lakes there, it was fun capturing reflection pics! I really like how this pic turned out, especially sideways! Can you tell where the lake is and where the sky is?! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Oak Glen is my point of refuge from office life and the concrete jungle, and is my go-to place when I need to see green, breathe in mountain air, pretend I live in the country. I took these photos at Riley’s Farm when Kat and I went berry pickin’ last weekend. While it’s common knowledge that farming […]

Our entry may require glasses or magnifier to see the helicopter silhouette in the clouds! This shot was taken from the rooftop of The Grove shopping center parking garage, in West Los Angeles. I used the sunset setting on my Nikon 5100, which added the red color, although the sunset was spectacular to begin with. […]

Spotted this zigzag fence in Oak Glen this past weekend, and immediately the photo challenge from a week or two ago came to mind! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)More zigzags can be found here.

I joined my brother, his wife, and my two oldest kids, at the Starlight Bowl (outdoors venue) in Burbank last week to see two tribute bands: The Petty Breakers (covering Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and DSB Band (Don’t Stop Believing, the world’s #1 Journey tribute band). My brother is a musician (but not as his profession). He writes […]

Kat and I took a spontaneous drive up the mountainside to Oak Glen this past Sunday, for berry pickin’! What a grand idea that was, and just an hour’s drive from home. We spotted wild berries along our favorite nature trail, but ended up at Snow Line Orchard  for the actual picking. The charge was $13 for three empty plastic baskets, row upon […]

Let’s start the workweek with a touch of sunshine, via this happy, yellow flower I saw on the mountain yesterday, at Oak Glen, in Southern California. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

This is the final installment of photos from my visit to the Orange County Fair this past week. I didn’t take very many pics in this section of the fairgrounds, having overdosed on Food and People Watching, but here are a few so you can see the atmosphere. A co-worker of mine said she can’t take her kids […]

Disclaimer: SueBee and Kat are not responsible for weight-gain or heart problems caused by viewing these photos. My last article featured photos of People Watching at the Orange County Fair, while this one will focus on the vast array of Food offerings. Not having been to a county fair in years, I’d forgotten about this part of the experience. I felt overwhelmed while taking […]

Cotton Candy, aka Fairy Floss, is in the making at the Orange County Fair, and represents our entry into this week’s photo challenge, Texture. This photo offers up various textures, from the sugar granules scattered alongside the machine, to the soft, light, airy, fluffy stuff being spun to perfection. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) This week, share a texture found in an unexpected place. […]

Yesterday after work was my turn to visit the Orange County Fair, my first time at this particular county fair. Lined up with countless other cars, and directed to parking in what I’m sure was the next county, I enjoyed a pleasant hike before arriving at the ticket booth. I still had some time to kill before my […]

Happy Hump Day! Captured a pic these two camels while wandering through the Santa Ana Zoo. Great place! ~SueBee (pic by SueBee)

It’s been several years since I’ve been to the summer fair, so I was really excited to find out from a friend that she’d received free tickets to go this year! The Orange County fair, with all the delicious fried food, colorful rides and carnival games, and exhibits, was so much fun! My boyfriend Cam […]

…or, Learn Something New Each Day… or, Did He Teach That in Class? Those are a selection of titles appropriate for this article. I visited a small, local zoo recently, the Santa Ana Zoo; my first ever visit there. Kat had been earlier this year and shared some of her shots in an article titled Monkeying Around. While the zoo has a […]

This final installment of my visit to Catalina Island features photos I took while wandering around Avalon, the main town. I walked from one end of the main drag to the other, and even covered some of the nearby residential area. It was a hot day, but I still managed to put many miles on […]

During my recent visit to Catalina Island, I took a little red trolley car (the Avalon city bus) and rode it through town and up the hill to the Botanical Gardens. I had no idea until I reached the top, walking an uphill, dirt roadway on a very hot day, that I was at the place where […]

While wandering through the City of Brea mall, I noticed they put in a new water feature. It was so cool looking, especially with the unusual shaped glass ceiling above it reflecting into all of the silver balls at the same time. ~Kat (pic by Kat)

The City of Brea mall is one of the nicest malls I’ve ever been to! While there, I visited the Nordstrom shoe section to find any unusual shoes to take pictures of. Designer shoes have always fascinated me…intricate designs, very unusual looking heels…a perfect picture subject 🙂 ~Kat (pics by Kat)

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Work’s been keeping me very busy! I’m very happy to be taking pics and posting again! So, after work a couple days ago, I decided to challenge myself to find unusual textures or patterns to take pictures of in everyday places. I went to the City […]
