SueBee and Kat

I quickly wrote in the sand at Newport Beach this afternoon, and then, as with the year, it was gone. Wishing a Happy New Year and Everything Good for 2017! ~SueBee

(9 photos) Continuing from my previous post, this gallery includes more photos taken at Oak Glen when Kat and I made a spontaneous visit earlier this week. Oak Glen is my “go to” relaxation place for those times I need to get away for a few hours, breathe fresh mountain air, listen to the soothing sounds of […]

(10 photos) Kat and I both have days off work this week (yippee!) and took a spontaneous drive to Oak Glen yesterday. While we noticed plenty of snow on the high mountains the next range over from Oak Glen, we didn’t expect to see snow on the ground in Oak Glen. It was a wonderful […]

This week’s WordPress photo challenge is Path… what it means to us, literally or figuratively. My photo was taken while walking the paths at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in July 2015 during a short vacation in Cambria, on California’s gorgeous central coast. I traveled solo, as I do for many of my adventures, and spent lots of […]

As the new year approaches, many are reflecting, pondering, musing… which way will you go in 2017? ~SueBee

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ~SueBee

Togetherness…. something our world seems to be lacking these days. Let’s hope the pendulum swings back to peace, joy, and love. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Oak Canyon Nature Center in Orange. ~SueBee

Foto Fix of a leaf was taken at Holcomb Valley, near Big Bear Lake. The leaf was on the ground, directly in my foot path, so I snatched it up and arranged it in the dry bush along the trail, then took this photo. My oldest daughter, Angelika, laughed, wondering how the leaf would have […]

Lots of new items in SueBee’s shop…. perfect gifts for the holidays! Visit SueBee’s shop at Vintage California, 305 E. Grove, Orange, CA. ~SueBee

(16 photos in gallery) While in Big Bear over Thanksgiving weekend, my sister-in-law, Jeanne, suggested we explore the area, searching for Letterboxing and Geocaching sites. I’d heard of Geocaching, where people hide tiny items for others to find via GPS coordinates. Letterboxing is somewhat similar, but has more of a treasure hunt element because of the […]

Foto Fix of the day shows the eastern end of Big Bear Lake reflecting mountainside ski slopes Thanksgiving weekend, before the snow storm hit. I was told most of the snow on the mountains is man-made and just two lifts were operating that day. ~SueBee

Today’s dual Foto Fix features as the snow storm rolled in, before and after shots, taken at Big Bear Lake this past Thanksgiving weekend. ~SueBee

WordPress Weekly Photo challenge, relax, is the perfect topic for this time of year. Life for my family becomes hectic with holidays and birthdays, so taking time to relax is crucial. During our Thanksgiving weekend in a cabin at Big Bear Lake, Kat relaxed playing the piano, and I relaxed by listening! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the east end of Big Bear Lake before the snow storm arrived. The lake’s water level was really low due to years of drought. More pictures coming soon! ~SueBee
