Perky pink petunias to brighten a gloomy, rainy morning in Southern California. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix is of Waving Grammy…. well, the chair that Waving Grammy should be sitting in actually. I saw this rather unusual scene while exploring the area in and around Cambria, up central California’s coast, a year or two ago. Since I’m Grammy to both Daisy Mae and Kansas, pups belonging to my kiddos […]

Today’s Foto Fix is a wish for peace and love to my fellow citizens of planet Earth. It’s been a rough few weeks since the elections in the USA and many of us are disgusted with events that have taken place, disgusted with those who are in the highest levels of our government, disgusted with those […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the beautiful Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. ~SueBee

A visit to Palm Springs this past Saturday meant a bit of hiking at Andreas Canyon, on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. The day offered perfect weather, clear blue sky, snow-capped mountains surrounding the area. The creek running through the canyon was rushing, full with water from our recent bout of storms. All in all, […]

While on a short vacation last fall, I drove down Southern California’s coast toward San Diego. Somewhere along the way, I saw a small community of mobile homes (manufactured homes) and drove through. This particular home caught my eye! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken on Highway 111, just off the 10, on the way to Palm Springs, California. The tires, part of a racing area for kids, are being swallowed by shifting sand. ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge asks us to interpret Graceful, so I chose this spider web that I spotted at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. While I’m not keen on spiders, I think their webs are quite beautiful and generally very graceful. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in the bar at Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs, California… I love the colors and energy! ~SueBee

This rotated reflection of a fabulous palm was taken at El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach. Happy Tuesday! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Big Bear last November when my family and I stayed at a cabin in the snow. It was fun for a day or two, but we all agreed we live in Southern California for a reason… the generally pleasant weather. 🙂 ~SueBee

With all the storms we’ve had this past week or two in California, and what seems like endless rain, snow storms, blizzards, and ice, I thought this an inviting picture for today’s Foto Fix. Now if only my roof wasn’t leaking so I could enjoy that nice cup of coffee ~SueBee

Foto Fix of spectators watching yet another storm approaching off Southern California’s coast. We’ve had an abundance of rain, rain, rain here lately. ~SueBee

Monday morning Foto Fix of a poppy pod with shadowing that caught my eye. ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge asks us for a photo that includes a name. I chose a name recognized the world over, Mickey, of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse fame. I took this picture while on a tour at the historical museum in Garden Grove, and it seems suitable for the challenge. ~SueBee

(15 photos) December 31 2016 was a rainy day in Southern California, a nice end to a mostly miserable year. Personally, I enjoy overcast, chilly days at the beach, so when the rain took a pause, I hopped in my little truck and headed to Balboa Island. I parked and walked onto the ferry for a […]

I quickly wrote in the sand at Newport Beach this afternoon, and then, as with the year, it was gone. Wishing a Happy New Year and Everything Good for 2017! ~SueBee

(9 photos) Continuing from my previous post, this gallery includes more photos taken at Oak Glen when Kat and I made a spontaneous visit earlier this week. Oak Glen is my “go to” relaxation place for those times I need to get away for a few hours, breathe fresh mountain air, listen to the soothing sounds of […]

(10 photos) Kat and I both have days off work this week (yippee!) and took a spontaneous drive to Oak Glen yesterday. While we noticed plenty of snow on the high mountains the next range over from Oak Glen, we didn’t expect to see snow on the ground in Oak Glen. It was a wonderful […]

This week’s WordPress photo challenge is Path… what it means to us, literally or figuratively. My photo was taken while walking the paths at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in July 2015 during a short vacation in Cambria, on California’s gorgeous central coast. I traveled solo, as I do for many of my adventures, and spent lots of […]
