This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge asks us to submit a picture of danger! I chose this picture I took on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation in Palm Springs. While the desert is generally a very arid place, rain in nearby, higher elevations (the mountains directly above where I took the picture) can cause flash flooding that’s extremely […]

Today’s Foto Fix of a rhino strolling along was taken from the tram ride at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park using my zoom lens. Kat’s wedding countdown = 9 days!! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken while on the tram ride last week at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Wedding update: Kat’s wedding is two weeks from today! We’ve been busy, busy, busy…. hence the infrequent blog posts here lately!! ~SueBee

It’s Monday morning, my least favorite time of the week. Today’s Foto Fix reflects a fairly common theme among my co-workers. Weekend’s over, we start work far too early, and could use another few hours sleep. I took this photo Saturday at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. The tigers are brothers from […]

For this week’s photo challenge, Earth, I chose four of my silly selfies taken with my iPhone. They feature me at various stops in California. I’m certain most of us agree, we’re each charged with protecting our Earth, regardless the ignorant people in political power. We must work all the harder to protect the beauty we’re […]

The day before Easter, my family and I went to William R Mason Regional Park in Irvine for a BBQ. What a perfect day to hide Easter eggs, play games, grill hamburgers, eat salads, chips, fruit, cupcakes… completely and utterly wonderful! ~SueBee

Wishing a Happy Easter to those who celebrate, a Happy Sunday to everyone else! The adorable, yummy cupcakes in this photo were made by Kat for our family picnic in the park yesterday. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken near Encinitas,in Southern California. ~SueBee

(10  photos) Aside from the fabulous costumes on display at the Dressing Downton exibit at the Muzeo Museum in Anaheim, California, I was wildly entertained by printed cards featuring the Dowager Countess quotes. Brilliantly played by Dame Maggie Smith, the Dowager was a highlight of the Downton Abbey TV show. I gathered all my photos […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken off the Seal Beach pier a few months ago, using my iPhone. I continue to be in awe of the talent who created this! Happy Friday everyone! ~SueBee

(13 photos) Continuing my post from yesterday with more photos from the Downton Abbey exhibit at Muzeo Museum in Anaheim. ~SueBee

(5 photos) I visited the Downton Abbey costume exhibit at the Muzeo Museum in Anaheim this past Sunday with my son and his fiance. After watching the British TV series, and being taken away to another time, in part due to the costumes, I was very excited to see the exhibit. It didn’t disappoint, and I […]

A recent visit to the Fullerton Arboretum brought air that was fragrant with orange blossoms. I stood under the trees and inhaled sweetness to my heart’s delight. Talk about real life aromatherapy, ahhhhh!! ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge of the word Dense features very dense-set, extremely sharp spikes on a cactus plant in the Fullerton Arboretum. Definitely a source of ouch if you get too close. ~SueBee

(6 photos) Weekend before last I explored the area near Modjeska Canyon and came upon a tiny nature center where I “met” Henry. Having had a tortoise when I was very young, and turtles having been my very favorite animal in those days, I was drawn to Henry. The space he called home was quite […]

(2 photos) Yesterday, March 26 2017, my three kids, their partners and I met for a drink at a favorite place in Corona Del Mar to mark the one year anniversary since my mom, their grandma, passed away at the age of 98 (and a half). My mom was a special woman, we were all […]

(5 photos) This week WordPress Photo Challenge, It IS Easy Being Green, was an easy one for me. I’d taken a drive last weekend through some back canyons here in Southern California, and was surrounded by green hills. All the rain this season turned us into a lush paradise. So, in Southern California, it IS easy […]

Daily Foto Fix taken at the golden hour of a beautiful yellow hibiscus blooming in my front yard. ~SueBee

(14 photos) It’s often impossible when living and working in the concrete jungle of Southern California to imagine that rustic, rural places do still exist around us… and often within very short driving distances. This past Sunday, I took myself for a drive and a bit of exploring in the region south of where I […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken while I explored Modjeska Canyon in southern Orange County yesterday afternoon. Yes, it was a gorgeous day. 🙂 ~SueBee
