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 […]

As the new year approaches, many are reflecting, pondering, musing… which way will you go in 2017? ~SueBee

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ~SueBee

Togetherness…. something our world seems to be lacking these days. Let’s hope the pendulum swings back to peace, joy, and love. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Oak Canyon Nature Center in Orange. ~SueBee

Foto Fix of a leaf was taken at Holcomb Valley, near Big Bear Lake. The leaf was on the ground, directly in my foot path, so I snatched it up and arranged it in the dry bush along the trail, then took this photo. My oldest daughter, Angelika, laughed, wondering how the leaf would have […]

(16 photos in gallery) While in Big Bear over Thanksgiving weekend, my sister-in-law, Jeanne, suggested we explore the area, searching for Letterboxing and Geocaching sites. I’d heard of Geocaching, where people hide tiny items for others to find via GPS coordinates. Letterboxing is somewhat similar, but has more of a treasure hunt element because of the […]

Foto Fix of the day shows the eastern end of Big Bear Lake reflecting mountainside ski slopes Thanksgiving weekend, before the snow storm hit. I was told most of the snow on the mountains is man-made and just two lifts were operating that day. ~SueBee

Today’s dual Foto Fix features as the snow storm rolled in, before and after shots, taken at Big Bear Lake this past Thanksgiving weekend. ~SueBee
