Corona del Mar in Southern California is the setting for my entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge: Serene. I took this photo just a week or two ago after a lovely drive down the coast after work one evening. That was a serene end to the day! ~SueBee

Rocks on the beach make a transformation into art at my hands. Photos of a few of the many dozen I’ve painted are submitted as entry into this week’s Photo Challenge: Transformation. I first took up this hobby about 2 1/2 years ago, during my mini-vacation to Cambria, on California’s central coast. Rocks were in […]

This picture was taken last Friday after work as I wandered along the shoreline at Corona del Mar. The setting sun catching on the tiny river of water running into the ocean caught my eye. With a bit of editing, I think the picture nearly looks like a painting. ~SueBee

(19 photos) As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend, and then zoom on to the reds and greens of Christmas, I thought I’d pull together some pictures from the weekend I spent at GreenValley Lake with my son, his fiance, and their doggie. It’s been over a month since we were there in an adorable, […]

I took a little drive to one of my favorite beaches, Corona Del Mar, after work this evening. It was glorious, especially as the sun crept to the sea and color splashed into the sky. ~SueBee

This picture was taken on the Avila Beach Pier as I made my way up the coast to Solvang during my recent mini vacation. Back to work we go… Happy Monday. ~SueBee

(14 photos) My spontaneous drive to Oak Glen, near Yucaipa, last Sunday resulted in mingling with crowds of people, but as evidenced by these pictures, I found some quiet space, too. It’s so pretty there in the fall, and the various ranches have all sorts of festivals celebrating apple picking season. ~SueBee

My entry into this week’s Word Press Photo Challenge on the word Temporary, was so temporary I nearly didn’t get the picture! I was north of Ventura, on my way to Solvang, and pulled off the 101 to take a side road right along the shore. Noticing really big birds on the overhead wire, I naturally […]

Taking a partial line from an annoying (aren’t they all?) commercial here in the U.S. featuring a lady who fell on the floor but was saved due to the button she wore around her neck…. The signs of a good commercial is if it sticks in your head. Jingles from products sold on TV in […]

After looking at old pictures I’d taken at Oak Glen, I suddenly got the urge for an in-person view. I tossed myself in my little pickup truck and headed onto the freeway. An hour or so later I was on the mountain, with countless others who obviously had the same urge. It seems craft fairs […]

We had a bit of rain here in Southern California this morning, sprinkles if you wish to be exact, but that, combined with cooler temps, makes me reminisce. I therefore dug into my older photos and came up with this rained-upon red rose. I took this picture in front of Hawk’s Head Tavern, Oak Glen, […]

A peek of San Francisco’s famous Golden Gate Bridge, the railing actually, as well as a peek over the side toward Horseshoe Bay. Such is my entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge: Peek.  As instructed, “this week, share a peek of something — a photo that reveals just enough of your subject to get us […]

(18 photos) Continuing from my post about Irvine Regional Park, this gallery features other parts of the park that were saved from the #CanyonFire2 by the firefighters. Hooray for still being able to enjoy this beautiful place! ~SueBee
