Can’t quite put my finger on the reason, but this scene had me laughing out loud as I took the picture! I lived enough years in northern Germany, and surely ate my share of Currywurst, but the combination of “German Gourmet Sausages” food cart, cotton candy, and dressed-up Chihuaua on a leash doesn’t logically fit […]

Playing with aperture settings oftentimes brings lovely results. This shot results from my hike around the upper pond on the mountain at Oak Glen this past Sunday. It’s the kind of place that draws me back like a magnet. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Wall art is fascinating, time consuming to photograph, and most often, frustrating… frustrating because it’s nearly impossible photographing. Drive by, see it, circle the block, circle the block, honk, honk, circle the block, park, roll down window, wait for cars to pass, wait, wait, or search for a parking spot, search, search~ …. you get […]

In Southern California today, that expression was definitely true. It was far too beautiful to stay inside, so I hopped in the truck and ended up at the mountain town of Oak Glen. Now past apple season, the crowds were gone, the beauty remained. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Kat is the close-up photography specialist, and I’ve tried my best to catch up with her skills. While wandering through the desert section of the Fullerton Arboretum yesterday, I captured a bee photo I’m pleased to share. It’s not as spectacular as some Kat’s taken, but I’m proud of it nonetheless! 🙂 🙂 ~SueBee (photo […]

The ocean beckons us for a little break from Santa Claus, overeating, and non-stop Christmas carols on the radio. Besides, it was warm (82deg, 27c) here in Southern California today and that makes me think ‘beach’! I took this picture during the summer off the pier at Huntington Beach. Surfer girl was so determined, paddling […]

For the child in all of us – may we never lose that! A very Merry Christmas and best of the season to our friends in the blogging world. 🙂 Today’s Foto Fix was taken of a music store window in downtown Fullerton. The store has four very large windows facing along the main street […]

Cam and I made a Gingerbread house last night…so fun! I think it turned out pretty good too! Happy Holidays! 🙂 ~Kat

Here I am, 10 years old again… Approaching quietly, secretively, one foot placed directly in front of the next to such an extreme that my balance is momentarily thrown off. I take a quick glance back over my shoulder to the whispered snickers of “them”… those cowards, my pals. No! They’re not my friends. How […]

How many years has this little box been calling out for donations? Certainly not as long as the walls it’s attached to, but clearly more years than the door and wreath to the left. How many coins or bills have been stashed within? Which hands put them there, which hands removed them? Historical sites always […]

Pomegranates! Papayas! Fresh cut roses! Mops, brooms! Is there anything more fun than wandering through small, neighborhood markets? Particularly ethnic markets… those with items for sale that aren’t on your weekly shopping list; from cultures or countries other than your own; where the packaging is in a language you don’t understand?! Today’s Foto Fix is […]

Holiday decor at Disneyland is amazing, especially in my favorite land, New Orleans Square! This “foto fix” shows one of the many elegant displays featured in N.O.S. ~Kat (photo by Kat)

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with an Instamatic. I don’t know the kids in the picture, photo quality is rather poor, but I like the shot regardless! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

As I wandered along the clifftop pathway, above one of my favorite Pacific Ocean hideaways, I grew fascinated, watching these art students gathered around their teacher. I’d personally taken up the brush just over a year ago, having my first go at painting, using acrylics and an inexpensive, small canvas I’d bought at a local […]

Here’s wishing a most wonderful Happy 24th Birthday to my blogging partner, Kat! Today’s “Foto Fix” was taken from rooftop of The Grove parking structure in Los Angeles. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

“L, is for the way you look at me…O is for the only one I see…V is very, very extraordinary…E is even more than anyone that you adore…and LOVE…” ~Nat King Cole’s ‘L.O.V.E’ song Found this awesome vintage sign in a flee market type shop in Hollywood…had to snap a pic! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

California, nicknamed The Golden State, could have been named for this golden sun, soon to be sliding gracefully into the Pacific Ocean. Today’s “Foto Fix” was taken off the coast of Corona Del Mar, from one of my favorite clifftop outlooks, and just down the street from my favorite tavern. By the way, that’s Catalina […]

SueBee and Kat is three months old. Launched with WordPress on September 1, 2013, we’re simply giddy to have made it this far! We’ve posted 108 times, more than once daily, and are super proud the blog is a complete, 100% reflection of us and our activities… exclusively our photos, and stories of places we’ve […]

Knowing the fondness humans have for birds, particularly towards the end of November, I can hear this Town Squawker loudly calling out a warning to his feathered friends… “Run, HIDE, it’s that time of year again!!!” Poor guy doesn’t understand it’s not Roast Peacock being served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Today’s Foto Fix was […]

As I carefully got into eye-level position on the moist (wet, muddy, cold) Fullerton Arboretum ground, a few thoughts went through my head…. I must be nuts, I look ridiculous, I hope no one walks by, I hope I can get back up. Too late for any of that, I scooted into various angles, hoping […]
