I can’t seem to run out of shots I took in Cambria during my recent vacation. I hope you don’t mind a running theme! ~SueBee

Continuing my series on Cambria, with photos taken during my recent visit to that gorgeous Central California village, and area. ~SueBee

Providing a colorful entry to this Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up, is a brilliant red poison oak (don’t touch!), joined by some sort of moss and lichen that covered many of the trees at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria. I enjoyed walking the forest trail on my way to the ocean side bluffs during my recent […]

I spent a most delightful day at the little town of Avalon on Catalina Island this past Tuesday, July 21st. It was my birthday, and I therefore enjoyed the benefit of free round-trip passage on the Catalina Express out of Long Beach, California. Kat joined me on the 8:30am trip, with my oldest daughter, Angelika, […]

(10 photos in gallery) More randomly-chosen photos from my recent vacation in Cambria, up the coast to Central California, an area less populated and with great natural beauty. Cambria, where the pines meet the sea… ~SueBee

I hope you don’t mind that I spare the words while I share my Cambria State of Mind photos. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves! ~SueBee

(8 photos in gallery) As I mentioned in a post a few days ago, I was up the coast in the quaint village of Cambria, and surrounding area, for a very much needed vacation last week. I took many pictures (understatement). I’ve decided rather than trying to share them in order or by category, I’m […]

Daily Foto Fix of a pelican landing was taken at Cambria during my recent vacation. ~SueBee

During my (longest in ages!) 4 day vacation at Cambria on California’s central coast, I took nearly 1000 pictures. My fellow photographers can relate, I’m sure. The natural beauty of the area was staggering, hence the continual click click click of my camera. I enjoyed my solo get-away, without internet or television, with much time […]

A second entry to Weekly Photo Challenge: Door, is the Door to Eternal Happiness (as per a local resident’s explanation). I took this picture while hiking this week near Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria, on California’s central coast, just a bit outside of my usual Southern California. I realize another week has gone by and […]

Continuing from my previous post, the photos in this gallery further explore the grounds and a few more statues at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. ~SueBee

For this Weekly Photo Challenge, Door, I chose a favorite door photo, taken at the Brewery in Downtown Los Angeles. The doors that lead to nowhere but a drop off two and three flights down. Even knowing this building had been a beer brewery back in the day (the building now houses artist lofts and […]

The grounds of the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino in Southern California are extensive, with many different garden areas, from desert plants to Chinese to Japanese to lush rain forest and roses.  The views I’m sharing in post #1 feature some of the vast lawn areas, the lushness of the shaded sections, […]

Photo taken along one of Southern California’s beautiful, sandy beaches. Quintessential summertime. ~SueBee

Newport Beach Pier at sunset is the setting for our Daily Foto Fix. I blurred the edges a bit, after testing out various effects. I rather like the result, do you? ~SueBee
