Fishing in the late afternoon, with an eye on the little boat floating off shore at Crystal Cove in Orange County. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

As I mentioned yesterday, it finally rained in Southern California! It was a real, solid downpour, enough to cause mudslides in some areas. We don’t do things in a half-baked way here, you know. At any rate, I had to get outside, breathe in the clean, fresh air. I took gobs of photos that I need to finish sorting through, so I’ve decided […]

Titling this picture Checkered Stairway somewhat nagged at me; would have been more appropriate to title it Checkered Mind based on the journey it triggered in mine. I reasoned that the stairs aren’t checkered, it’s the floor in front of the stairs that are, which led to images of hopscotch, chess, and naturally, the game of checkers. And, to dancing […]

Continuing with my hopeful thoughts of cooler days and my favorite season, Autumn! This photo was taken last November on the mountain in Oak Glen, California. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

While visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach this past Sunday with relatives from Germany, I took this picture of some sort of small fish. I didn’t edit the picture at all, other than a tiny bit of color saturation. For the life of me, I can’t figure out the fish’s eye in the photo. To me it looks like […]

Spotted this beauty at South Coast Botanic Garden’s recent orchid show. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. Lady in the bright red hat, being guarded by her fierce dragon cane, caught my eye! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in the lower garden area at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino. I do enjoy reflections, but found this one particularly confusing/intriguing when flipped upside down. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Friends are often surprised by some of our photos, mistaking the settings for somewhere in Europe. As our blog has hopefully proven, beauty and adventure are abundant in our own Southern California backyard. While traveling is awesome, and we’ve done much travel in Europe and throughout North America, there is more to see and do locally than we can even keep […]

Photo taken in a West Hollywood back alley, north of Melrose, vines adding a bit of whimsy to the artwork. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Unexpectedly beautiful is how I’d describe Lake Perris, a man-made lake in the Southern California desert, where our family camped and went boating this past weekend. More to come later….! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

A simple, lovely rosebud for today’s Foto Fix as Kat and I are heading off on a weekend of adventures, including wine tasting, camping, and boating, with family and friends, celebrating my son’s 31st birthday. Where did the years go?! Seems he was just a toddler. This rosebud showed its pretty face at the Huntington Library and Gardens while I […]

Was cruising through Hollywood with SueBee, snapping pics of the most unusual looking wall art. Thought this one was really neat! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Butterfly in flight, adroitly demonstrating the “solo V formation”. Photographed at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino this past Sunday. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Daily Foto Fix of a beautiful bright red tugboat was taken in Los Angeles Harbor, San Pedro, shortly after sighting of a giant yellow rubber ducky. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Explored the El Dorado Nature Center with Cam. Since there are so many gorgeous lakes there, it was fun capturing reflection pics! I really like how this pic turned out, especially sideways! Can you tell where the lake is and where the sky is?! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Let’s start the workweek with a touch of sunshine, via this happy, yellow flower I saw on the mountain yesterday, at Oak Glen, in Southern California. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Happy Hump Day! Captured a pic these two camels while wandering through the Santa Ana Zoo. Great place! ~SueBee (pic by SueBee)

It’s been several years since I’ve been to the summer fair, so I was really excited to find out from a friend that she’d received free tickets to go this year! The Orange County fair, with all the delicious fried food, colorful rides and carnival games, and exhibits, was so much fun! My boyfriend Cam […]

While wandering through the City of Brea mall, I noticed they put in a new water feature. It was so cool looking, especially with the unusual shaped glass ceiling above it reflecting into all of the silver balls at the same time. ~Kat (pic by Kat)
