SueBee Arts

This large wall art appears to be a serpent, or something snake-like, with exposed skeleton in parts, organs and scales in others. I don’t see the head anywhere, but it could have been further down the wall. I had just a moment to catch the picture before the signal changed and my son accelerated. The […]

During a trip to Palm Springs, I came across a vintage hotel, surrounded by palms, with rainbow colors painted on the building. I absolutely love the style of vintage architecture, tons of color, and unique designs, so I just had to snap a pic of this quirky building! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Today’s Foto Fix was taken from inside the car yesterday on Glendale Boulevard, driving towards the Angelino Heights section of Los Angeles. I’d had lunch with my son at an old favorite, the Red Lion Inn, a German pub/restaurant in Silver Lake, then was lucky to have him driving while we toured a bit of […]

Today’s Foto Fix features brilliantly colored blooms on a tree at the L.A. County Arboretum. I neglected to check the tag for tree variety, so please chime in if you know! It appears slightly similar to an orchard, but is there such a thing as an orchid tree? ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

This scene reminded me of the western movies I loved as a kid…. brave warriors, lined up, spears proudly held upright, each ready for battle, awaiting the command to attack…the spears then lowered and horses nudged into action. Today’s Foto Fix and story were created at the Los Angeles County Arboretum a week or so […]

Today’s Foto Fix is of a duck floating in the clouds… a reflection on one of the lakes at El Dorado Nature Center, featured in my other articles here and here. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Downtown Garden Grove each Friday late afternoon, the classic cars roll into town, Main Street’s closed off, the band entertains until dark and folks start to head for home. That’s a good way to end the work week! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

I’m filing this picture under “only in Southern California”. I’ve seen plenty of limousines being driven around the Southland, taking high school kids to the prom, famous people to events, bridal parties to and fro… but I’ve never seen a limo this crazy long before! While walking around the L.A. County Arboretum in Arcadia this past […]

While driving home from Anza Borrego, the sky looked like it was on fire! Had to capture a pic! Amazing how gorgeous sunsets look with rain clouds in the sky. ~Kat (pic by Kat)          

Birds flying in formation is a fascinating thing to watch. I’ve been hearing quite a bit on the radio recently about scientists researching reasons for the V formation. It’s interesting! This particular group was lined up over Anaheim in Orange County and I was lucky enough to catch a few shots before they went by. […]

Today’s Foto Fix showcases the most unique and beautiful cauliflower I’d ever seen! I’ve since learned the proper name is romanesco cauliflower. These particular ones were being kept fresh with ice cubes at the Cal Poly Pomona University Farm Store. Art in all places, even the vegetable bin! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Awaiting their Captain and First Mate, these deck chairs undoubtedly have adventures of the high seas they could share, and…. wait! Hush…shhhh… if you listen carefully once the ships have docked, the sun set, a pink-tinged sky has settled into a deeper hue, the crew has hoisted their last “cheers” and retired, you just might catch […]

I spotted this dapper gentleman riding along past Ports O’Call Village in San Pedro. Actually, it would have been impossible to miss him. Notice the loudspeaker in the box behind his seat. Those speakers were blasting patriotic music so loud I’m sure he was heard miles away! By the time I caught up with him […]

Spotted this gorgeous blue jay standing among the bamboo, while I was wandering through the Huntington Library gardens. I just love the vibrant color of these birds…guess it also helps that blue’s my favorite color. 🙂 To see more pics from this amazing place, please view my other articles: “Desert at the Huntington Library,” and […]

Enjoying an afternoon stroll across an Anaheim park’s empty parking lot, this gaggle of geese (haha, love the way that sounds… gaggle of geese!) caught my eye. Impressed by the discipline of the youngsters in keeping such an orderly walk, I recalled a time when my son, Andreas, was a youngster and an adult goose […]

A campfire under the stars in the desert = pure bliss. 🙂 Cam and I went camping at the Mojave National Preserve (please refer to my article Hole-in-the-Wall Camping for more pictures from this wonderful trip), and couldn’t resist the opportunity to make s’mores under the stars with the rolling desert hills surrounding us. 🙂 Recommendation […]

Growing in the greenhouse at South Coast Botanic Garden in Rancho Palos Verdes, this little plumeria caught my eye. It reminded me to a time in elementary school (just a few years ago) when the “in” thing with the very artistic crayon crowd was to carefully outline each shape in our pictures. This particular pretty, […]

Visited MacArthur Park, located just outside of Downtown L.A., with my Auntie Jeanne for a street photography expedition. I’ve always found it difficult to snap candid photos of strangers, but used this opportunity to break out of my comfort zone. While wandering the grounds, I spotted this character entertaining the kids. Wasn’t too difficult to […]

Stunning view of the San Gabriel Mountains from Hope Rock (photo below), on a trail above Descanso Garden‘s Boddy House in La Canada Flintridge, starting point of the Angeles Crest Highway. Having grown up in La Crescenta (next town to the west), this area is my childhood stomping grounds…. and what stomping grounds they were! ~SueBee (photos […]

Today’s Foto Fix consists of three pictures… combined they tell the story of a lively jam session along the promenade, next to the wharf, at Huntington Beach. ~SueBee (photos by Sue Bee)
