I’m so impressed by the detail in this iPhone picture of a coneflower in my backyard! ~SueBee

Wishful thinking? We had 7″ of snow fall on Tuesday. Luckily there wasn’t any ice on the ground for the fluffy white stuff to land on. With temperatures at -8 degrees F most the day, I chose to stay inside. Although, I did venture out in the morning to feed the birds and squirrels. It […]

We’ve had several days of snow and ice this past week, with people being homebound for much of that time, schools and many businesses closed. The forecast looks like the snow might be melted within the coming week, though. While the snow is very pretty to look at, I’ll be glad to get out and […]

I took a drive to Wichita a few days ago, just for a change of scenery. I’d been wanting a walk through the Great Plains Nature Center, but hesitated in the heat of summer. Since I’d gotten down there while still morning, though, I decided on walking one of the main trails. It was beautiful. […]

I admire this beautiful tree each time I drive by. Although my son is convinced his backyard tree is the most perfect anywhere, I feel this one could stand well in second place! If ever that big empty lot is developed, I would hope this tree would be spared the wrecking ball. If not, I’d […]

…as far as the eye can see! This field of sunflowers along Highway 50 in Pleasantview, KS, caught my attention as they stood at attention. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in the tiny town of Inman (population in 2020 of 1,341), about 8 miles north of my home in Hutchinson, Kansas, and features a beautiful, recently painted mural. For further information on the process and artist, click here. ~SueBee

Here’s a cheerful bloom from a volunteer sunflower in my backyard, most likely from the bird and squirrel seed I set out each morning. ~SueBee

Here’s wishing all my blog friends and followers all the best, and a very Happy New Year. This picture features my “pup” that I adopted last year. Due to my living alone status, many of my friends often suggested I get a dog or cat. I personally couldn’t take the risk of medical bills which […]

It’s so exciting to wake up to snow falling! After living most of my life in Southern California where the only snow fell in surrounding mountains, it’s so fun to look into my Kansas backyard and see white, fluffy stuff. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken somewhere on a back road as I made my way to Lindsborg, Kansas. I had eyes on me as I drove by! ~SueBee

I don’t know about you, but I was certainly taught not to sit on my plate while eating. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix shows a bit of fluff caught on the little lemon verbena herb plant I recently potted. The fluff, which is actually seed pods from the numerous cottonwood trees in the area, flies through the air here looking like snow flakes. It catches on everything and I’m sure must be quite annoying to […]

Yesterday’s spontaneous adventure involved a drive to Quivera National Wildlife Refuge in central Kansas, about forty miles west from home. While I sort through the pictures I took there, I thought I’d share this idyllic farm scene that caught my eye as I explored dirt roads on my return home. You have no idea how […]

Spring is in the air here in central Kansas… well, maybe it was a few days ago! Today was overcast, somewhat chilly and it rained a bit (not enough). We can do with more rain, no doubt. My vast front lawn has been greening up over the past few weeks. As I gazed out over […]

While driving a backroad several miles north of my home in Hutchinson, I spotted this homestead. It’s clearly in need of some TLC. Anyone up to the challenge?! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken on a very late afternoon walk at the nearby Dillon Nature Center. The weather was brisk, drizzly, brrrrrrr, and I loved every minute of it as I made a quick walk around this gorgeous little lake. ~SueBee

I happened to stop along the way while exploring the central California coast, somewhere near Pismo Beach, and captured this stunning sunset. That trip will be one for my memory books for awhile as I’m in the process of packing for a big move to the middle of the country, far away from any oceans! […]

Returning from a recent visit to the Central California coast area, I drove south on Highway 1 from Pismo Beach and through the quaint town of Guadalupe. While less than ten miles of farmland separates it from the busy 101 Freeway, Guadalupe feels a world away. There were several art installations I noticed as I […]

Today’s Foto Fix is a shot I captured while on the pier at Avila Beach on the central California coast. I took a few days vacation in that area to celebrate circling the sun another year, having hit the 68 mark. More pictures from my trip to come once I’ve gone through them. ~SueBee
