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

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

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

Flowers for your Friday! This wildflower bouquet was alongside the trail I hiked in Oak Glen a few weeks ago. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix is of a gnarly, old tree spotted at Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen. I wonder how many winters it’s seen. ~SueBee

Here’s wishing a Happy Valentine’s Day to those with sweeties, and a wonderful regular day to the rest of us! This photo of a discarded heart in the sand was taken at Newport Beach near the pier. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken from the Newport Beach Pier a few evenings ago as the setting sun cast it’s final golden rays of the day. ~SueBee

Photo taken at the end of Newport Beach Pier this past Friday after work. I loved the expression of the little girl, looking up at her father as he fixed his fishing line.~SueBee

As I left the office today, worn out from a long workweek, I decided on a drive to Balboa Island, the opposite direction of my home in Orange. I crossed the bridge to the island, parked my little truck, walked to the ferry, hopped on, paid the $1.00 fee, rode over to Newport Beach Peninsula, and meandered down to the beach. The air […]

Sleepy, rolled up, in denial, not ready to face the day, morning came far too soon, turn off that alarm, I’m going back to bed. (wishful thinking) ~SueBee

Photo taken at the Arboretum in Arcadia. ~SueBee

See? Even cowboys were rushing off and nearly forgetting their mobile phones. 😉 Photo taken at the Gene Autry Museum in Griffith Park. ~SueBee

A grand, furry tree from a recent visit to the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia.~SueBee

Hiking up Tahquitz Canyon in Palm Springs, surrounded by cliffs, trail climbing at a pretty stiff pace, water gurgling in the stream down below, brisk, fresh air, and then I see the red hat on this gal sitting on the large boulder (photo opp!)…. it’s not until I view on the computer that I notice she’s texting. Perhaps she’s sharing the beauty of this […]

Another beautiful scene from Palm Springs, just west of downtown! A day or two after I left, a really cold storm blew into Southern California and put a lot more snow on the mountains. While I missed that photo opportunity, I’m glad my hikes weren’t interrupted with freezing weather! ~SueBee

One of countless charming, mid-century modern homes in Palm Springs. I took this photo on my recent visit, while driving through residential neighborhoods, admiring the architecture, dreaming. ~SueBee

A llama in need of orthodonture work for an acute overbite was spotted sunning himself at Rancho Los Rios in Oak Glen. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Algae floating on the surface of this pond in Oak Glen makes for a colorful photo. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

A Christmas cactus catching this morning’s sun on my kitchen bookshelf, blooming in full seasonal color. Merry Christmas to those of our readers and fellow bloggers who celebrate Christmas, and seasonal greetings to everyone else!! ~SueBee and Kat
