(9 photos) “Watch your step” were the key words when wandering along the sand at Long Beach after one of our recent storms. I’m not sure where all the bamboo came from, but it was obvious where all the trash did…. humans. With all the work groups have done trying educating people to properly dispose of […]

This orange at the water’s edge was spotted as I walked along at Long Beach a week or two ago. An artist’s still-life arrangement in the sand, and someone’s snack gone missing. ~SueBee

For my Foto Fix of the day I chose one I took in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and converted to black and white. The laundry hanging on the fire escape behind the tea house sign created an interesting, very urban, scene to my eye. ~SueBee 

(14 photos) I joined my son, Andreas, and his partner (soon to be son-in-law!), Loren, on a trip to San Francisco, April, 2016. While my son was in a board meeting, Loren and I did a self-guided walking tour of San Francisco. We covered the city, one end to the other, logging numerous miles onto our […]

I took a short vacation a few months back and explored the area along Southern California’s coast. Driving south from my hometown of Orange, there remain a few places that aren’t lined with housing tracts bumper to bumper. So refreshing! While keeping an eye out for art in public places as I drove along, I found […]

Today’s foto fix was taken looking toward the pier at Hearst Castle Ranch, just north of Cambria on California’s central coast. ~SueBee

(2 photos) This week’s photo challenge asks us for an image of a shadow. Taking shadow pictures was a great hobby when Kat and I used to go out ‘n about, exploring Southern California. We took dozens of selfie shadow pictures over the years. These days we spend our free time planning her upcoming wedding! […]

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
