Beach Shop at the Beach

During my recent overnight get-away along the coast near Carlsbad, I discovered a goldmine of a beach shop. The shop carried every possible beach decor one could imagine… and imagine I did! I’ve spent the majority of my free time in the past months redecorating the interior, and re-landscaping the exterior, of my home. It’s […]

(14 photos in gallery) During my recent one night get-away to areas further south of home in Southern California, I explored the San Diego Zoo Safari Park until it got too hot, and then headed to the beach.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park

(18 photos in gallery) I visited the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on Sunday, arriving near opening time of 9am. I was glad for that as the day quickly became far to hot for the animals to be active and for me to be walking about! It was a very enjoyable morning, though, and I […]

Any bits left for me?

Today’s Foto Fix was taken from the Huntington Beach Pier and features a curious gull hoping for a bite to eat from a discarded plastic cup. Or perhaps, Mr Gull is being a good citizen and will take that plastic cup to the nearest trash can. ~SueBee

Giddyup

This set of pictures was taken a couple months ago on a particularly hot day when, like a crazy person, I decided to go for a hike. As I was nearing the dam at Carbon Canyon Regional Park, this fellow riding his horse caught my eye. Very wild west! ~SueBee

Tour during wedding set-up, Heritage Square

(18 photos in gallery) I took a long-overdue tour recently of a place that’s fascinated me for years, the Heritage Square Museum near downtown Los Angeles.

A Collection of San Francisco Doors

Cable car doors, short doors, close-together doors, intricate doors, Asian-inspired doors, uphill-slant doors, religious doors, downstairs doors, brightly painted doors, optical illusion tree doors! I took these photos during my recent visit to the city on the bay, San Francisco. On this particular day, while my son, Andreas, was in a board meeting, his boyfriend, Loren, […]

San Francisco, part 2

Continuing my tour of San Francisco, these shots were taken from Fisherman’s Wharf as we made our way toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We were surprised to see people swimming in that very cold water. Wet suits or not it had to be really cold. ~SueBee

San Francisco, part 1

This is the first of several posts I’ll share over upcoming days featuring my recent weekend spent in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Today’s gallery starts off at Fisherman’s Wharf.

UFO

Can you identify the UFO (unknown flying object) in the upper right of this picture I took at San Francisco a few weeks ago? I didn’t notice the object until just now, as I gathered pictures for my next blog post, so I have no clue what it is. Since I was trying to focus on the […]

Descanso Gardens in March, part 1

Descanso Gardens is a photographer’s paradise in any season, but early in the year has always been my favorite. These pictures were taken two weeks ago during my spontaneous visit to the gardens in La Canada Flintridge, right next door to the city of La Crescenta where I spent a delightful childhood. Enjoy your weekend! […]

Descanso’s Camellias

I visited Descanso Gardens yesterday, famous for the extensive collection of camellias. It’s a beautiful place in La Canada Flintridge, a town near where I grew up, and about 50 miles from my current home in Orange. Descanso Gardens had once been the estate of Elias Manchester Boddy and family; the history can be found at this […]
