Please join me on a tour of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach. Part 1 today, part 2 tomorrow. ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge, Afloat, brought several images to mind, but I settled on this one. It’s a fisherman’s rag, left secured to the pier at Seal Beach, afloat on the evening’s brisk wind. ~SueBee

The sky grows dark, the brisk breeze sharp, bikini clad for summer, friends close together, to conquer the surf, on their own turf. ~SueBeePhoto taken from the Seal Beach pier this past Sunday.

Capturing shadows is cool, capturing reflections equally cool, but, both in one shot, well, that’s super COOL!! This shot was taken at Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach this past Sunday. 🙂 ~SueBee

Spotted this lovely red what I think is a lily at Huntington Library and Gardens, and it seems like a great candidate for our Daily Foto Fix. ~SueBee

Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach seemed as crowded with long lenses as birds Sunday, as this gallery can attest! It was a great day to be outdoors, and apparently, bird watching! ~SueBee

A lovely row of spring flowers for a lovely spring day! Photo taken at South Coast Botanical Garden. Happy Easter! ~SueBee

The trouble with being ‘out and about’ taking photos so often, is that general blog maintenance lags. I therefore dedicated some time this evening to building another gallery page, furthering our collection of Daily Foto Fix pictures. The page is not complete, my eyes grew tired and I gave up, but I feel quite accomplished regardless! If interested, you can now visit Gallery 2, as well […]

Entering this week’s photo challenge, Ephemeral, I thought of California’s drought, and how this tiny creek would soon be dried up. The photo was taken in Andreas Canyon, Palm Springs. ~SueBee

I took the original photo in Long Beach this past Sunday, and edited it three ways just for fun. The original was very pale and overexposed, partly due to shooting into the sun, and more likely, from using the wrong setting. But, something about the original shot reminded me of a science fiction or outer space scene, particularly due to the […]

After enjoying lunch at a Long Beach restaurant with my oldest daughter, Angelika, and friends yesterday, I headed over to the coast and walked along toward the color-filled sky. This is what I spotted once close enough for photos, an entire group of parasailers. It was late afternoon by then, and they were just starting to pack up their […]

When necessities of life seem to take over and become all-consuming, I grab a few moments, wander through my photos, and lead my mind to places of relaxation. This morning’s reflection is from my end-of-2014 mini vacation to Palm Springs, and a glorious early morning hike in Andreas Canyon. Happy Sunday! ~SueBee

Some detail photos from the vintage car show held Friday nights in downtown Garden Grove, Orange County. Certainly a great opportunity for some fun shots! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix is of the Lake Hollywood Reservoir in foreground with view of buildings running along Wilshire Boulevard in the background. I took this shot from along the road to the famous Hollywood sign. ~SueBee

Swinging off in a new direction, I’m interpreting this week’s Photo Challenge, Fresh, with the fresh paint I applied during a recent learn-to-paint-while-drinking-wine class! While I’ve managed to create a few acrylic paintings in recent years, this was my first time teaming the process with wine. I liked it! It was fun! ~SueBee

Happy first day of Spring, everyone! The photos in this gallery were taken at the Fullerton Arboretum, and seem the perfect fit for the day. While those of us living in Southern California haven’t been under snow or had many cold days, we do enjoy the colorful flowers and greenery of the new season. Knowing the brilliant green will […]

A few shots from a recent drive up the mountain to Oak Glen in Riverside County, near Yucaipa. The atmosphere is definitely country, and I was particularly excited to get the red barn picture! ~SueBee

Bold Jack Frost’s vibrant camellias, ribboning across the pond surface, tablescape of sky blue reflections, for Miss Springtime’s upcoming luncheon. ~SueBee

Driving around the city is always interesting, with so much to see. The shots in this gallery were taken on the Westside of Los Angeles, near the Carthay Square area. ~SueBee

A few more flowers I had lovely conversations with recently at the Fullerton Arboretum. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day! 🙂 ~SueBee
