I live in the city of Orange, in Orange County, California, and it rained last night for the first time in what seems like ages. Therefore, my photo of just-rained-on local oranges seems perfect for the Word Press Weekly Photo Challenge: Local. ~SueBee

Words for today: Watch Your Step. While it’s not great for anyone to take a fall, it can be particularly bad for someone entering, or smack dab amongst the golden years. Bones are more brittle, in spite of calcium tablets and yogurts daily. Bones break. Falling hard onto a cement sidewalk and not breaking anything […]

With the far too much work that changing blog identity entails, I’ve decided to reboot SueBee and Kat and just change the tagline. SueBee and Kat, SueBee’s photography, handcrafts, and musings of the golden years. I’ll complete this post with two photos I took at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, and a haiku as accompaniment. ~SueBee […]

My contribution to WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O was taken while on a cruise touring Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. Water, endless water, the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. ~SueBee

I’ve been making handcrafts, photo note cards, framed art, and refurbishing furniture for quite a few years. My oldest daughter, Angelika, and I were selling it on the internet via our Artisan Unique website. We determined selling online is far too time consuming, though, so we transitioned. I decided to go solo and test the retail […]

Hi, I mentioned in a recent post that I would soon be redefining my blog. I started the process this evening and invite you to visit my updated About page. Today’s Foto Fix to accompany this post features a few rocks I collected along the shore at Cambria on California’s central coast, and painted. The […]

Announcing upcoming changes to the SueBee and Kat blog! Please watch for a more in-depth article in the next few days. While my out ‘n about photos will continue, I’m going to add photos and posts reflecting additional interests, things that have taken over time in my life! I hope you’ll enjoy new adventures with me!! ~SueBee […]

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 […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken near Leucadia, in Southern California. ~SueBee

Daily Foto Fix taken during a tour of Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors. ~SueBee

(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. I stayed overnight in a hotel at the quaint town of Carlsbad and drove further south the next day. […]

(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 […]

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

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

(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. I arrived late afternoon on a very hot day, and discovered a wedding being set up. Our tour guide ignored all the wedding hustle and bustle; I guessed it […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Los Angeles County Arboretum and features a dry streambed, not unusual for our drought-ridden area, with brightly painted stones throughout. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken above San Simeon, on California’s central coast. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix is a much-needed respite from the crazy world we live in. This photo was taken just a few weeks ago at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California. Peace and serenity to all. ~SueBee

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, […]

A delicious gathering of fresh, Southern California produce, with photos taken at the Long Beach Farmer’s Market recently. Hungry?! ~SueBee
