Summertime = County Fair Time. Today’s Foto Fix was taken three years ago while at the Orange County Fair. It’s Friday everyone, enjoy your day. I surely will because after work, I’m going to the Fair! ~SueBee

(9 photos) If you’ve been following my last couple blog posts, you’ll notice I spent a fabulous birthday on Catalina this past Friday. The photos in this gallery give a taste of the spectacular weather and vibrant island life Kat and I experienced. We hiked, kayaked, ate, and drank so that by the time our […]

(12 Photos) When Kat and I arrived at Catalina Island this past Friday, our first order of business was breakfast. Directly thereafter, we caught the city bus for a ride up the hill to the Wrigley Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum. We were pleasantly surprised to discover a birthday freebie, my admission was comped. We wandered […]

(14 photos) For the past four years I’ve made a tradition of visiting Southern California’s Catalina Island on my birthday. The reason behind this is a special deal from Catalina Express, one of the boat companies running trips between the mainland and the island, offering free passage to folks on their birthday when accompanied by […]

(5 photos) I have a second entry into this week’s Photo Challenge of something Unusual. While visiting Southern California’s seaside town of Carlsbad with my mom, I was fascinated by this guy paddling a surfboard with a fishing pole on his back and what looked like regular clothing. As he paddled into shore and got […]

This week’s Photo Challenge is Unusual, or at least we’re to show a picture of something we find unusual. I’m submitting a picture I took while out with my mom on a Sunday afternoon drive through the seaside town of Carlsbad a couple years ago. We both did double-takes when seeing this man leading his […]

Happy Friday, everyone! Today’s Foto Fix features a wall mural I spotted while wandering down Seal Beach’s Main Street the other evening. ~SueBee

This wine glass, or the work week, half done or not? I’ll look to the bright side of the work week and say it’s nearly half done. For the wine, well, the glass is still half full and at the time I was relaxed, enjoying myself. This photo was taken at Oak Glen outside of […]

I’m submitting the photo I took of one of the world’s most famous bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge. My son, his fiance and I visited San Francisco in late 2015 and walked over the bridge. Let me tell you, that was a long walk! ~SueBee 

Two beautiful blooms smiling for my camera at San Juan Capistrano during my recent visit. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken from the train while riding to Oceanside a while back. It was fairly early morning, chilly, breezy… the perfect time at the beach! ~SueBee

(25 photos) Exiting the train this past Sunday from my spontaneous ride to San Juan Capistrano, I was surprised to find a tiny row of shops and restaurants running directly along the train tracks. Turns out the area holds many of the town’s original buildings from the days before California was part of the United […]

(8 photos) The pictures in this gallery were taken at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve , in Huntington Beach, during a recent drive up Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach to Seal Beach, where I stopped for dinner. The noise level was intense from all the birds, circling off in the distance. It was so cool […]

I realized yesterday while starting a few projects in my craft room that I hadn’t been to Oak Glen for some time, so I put aside the projects and hopped in my little truck. The 1 and a 1/4 hour drive was pleasant. I went straight away to a favorite spot, Snow Line, for coffee […]

(8 photos) Some beautiful garden color thanks to the Huntington Library and Gardens! Enjoy your Sunday. ~SueBee

(8 photos) Rock climbing Red Rock is very popular. I found it fascinating to watch, thanks to my zoom lens, as my friends gave me a tour of the area recently. It’s a sport requiring skill, endurance, patience, determination, and I would imagine finger strength (?!). ~SueBee

(16 photos) During my recent visit to Nevada, my friends toured us through Death Valley, on to the ghost town of Rhyolite, the town of Beatty, and then to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was absolutely fascinating. Crystal clear, turquoise water in the middle of the desert, with wee, tiny fish that flourish […]

I’m sharing a couple pictures taken with my iPhone camera of a gorgeous monarch butterfly resting on the butterfly bush in my back yard, and beautiful orange roses clipped from my front garden. ~SueBee

This large metal sculpture was a very bizarre scene to stumble across in Death Valley’s ghost town of Rhyolite. Therefore, a good choice for my occasional Daily Foto Fix category. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix features a shot taken as sunlight slipped through a crack in the cloud cover and highlighted a slice of Red Rock Canyon. ~SueBee
