The expression and pose in this picture describes my week. Starting on Monday with a repairman who nearly blew up my gas furnace, myself and him included, followed by these past four days without heat in shivering cold weather, combined with a torrential rainstorm that led to a leaking roof and water running down my bedroom wall. Yes, […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken by Kat two years ago and is being recycled for this post while I continue to get my blogging act back together! ~SueBee

A new dawn, a new day, as they say! After what seems an eternity, and yet in reality just over a month, I’m back in blogging action. The Worst Move of All Time is completed!! I’m proud (and exhausted) to state the majority of boxes are unpacked, window treatments and pictures are hung, rooms are […]

A seasonal photo for your viewing pleasure while I spend the day moving to my new home! This picture was taken in Oak Glen a year or two ago. ~SueBee

Daily Foto Fix of buzzing bees up close and in focus, originally posted December, 2013. I’m currently in the process of moving (again), to what I hope will be a permanent home. This has been one heck of an exhausting year for packing and unpacking within my little family. Need I say that I’m sick of […]

Photo taken at Newport Beach Harbor while on a holiday cruise with my co-workers. The building appears to be a restaurant, although some of the homes water-side are equally large! ~SueBee

I captured these shots at and around LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and the Peterson Automotive Museum on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. I switched to B&W to better accentuate the interesting shadows and lines. ~SueBee

Photos taken using my iPhone while on a very chilly, spontaneous visit to the Seal Beach Pier a few evenings ago. I was pleasantly surprised seeing the sand art, impressed by the precision required to create it! ~SueBee

Horses spotted alongside a back road in Temecula, one of Southern California’s wine regions. ~SueBee

(20 photos) I was thrilled to capture such an array of street art during my recent spontaneous trip to Los Angeles. ~SueBee

During my spontaneous journey around Los Angeles last weekend, on Halloween day, I managed to squeeze in a bit of people photography… Los Angeles is a very interesting place! ~SueBee

My random day in Los Angeles on Saturday led me to the Music Center and Grand Park for a beautiful and poignant Dia de los Muertos display. There were many heartfelt sentiments displayed, as evidenced by the photos in this gallery. ~SueBee

(18 photos) I had a very spontaneous visit to Los Angeles yesterday, after dropping my son off there. When he asked if I could do him this favor, naturally my mind went directly to my trusty sidekick, the Nikon! So, camera in hand, I ended up exploring from one end of the city to the other. […]

While visiting South Coast Botanic Garden in Rancho Palos Verdes a few weeks back, I felt lucky to see the great pumpkin! The garden has a multitude of pathways, so it’s well possible that I’d have wandered around for hours and never seen this master of pumpkins. As it was closing time, I didn’t have a chance […]

…continuing from my Part 1 Oak Glen post, please enjoy some additional beautiful scenery, along with the pumpkin patch at Los Rios Ranch. ~SueBee

A glorious day was spent on the mountain at Oak Glen, California, yesterday. The weather wasn’t quite as chilly as I’d hoped for, but in the upper 70s, it was more refreshing than the heat we’ve been having in Orange County. Fall colors hadn’t kicked in entirely yet, but a bit here and there brought […]

While in Portland last month, I was lucky to connect with an old friend from my Irish Dancing dressmaking days. She picked me up from my hotel, and took me on the most fabulous drive up the Columbia River Gorge. The weather was clear and sunny, just perfect for touring. Spectacular scenery was on every […]

Returning from Palm Springs yesterday afternoon, at near 100 degree blistering temperature, I took a quick turn off the freeway at Cabazon to get something cold to drink. I’d never stopped at the touristy dinosaur place previously, although I’ve driven past dozens of times. I decided to snap a couple pictures while I was right […]

(11 photos in gallery) Toward the end of September, I was in the area of South Coast Botanic Garden on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and stopped for a short walk. It was too hot to cover much of the garden, but I enjoyed watching an artist at work, finding numerous benches hidden throughout, and the […]

Kat and I spent this past Sunday together, out n’ about and exploring, just like old times! We took the train from Orange to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, with hopes of getting in the brand new Broad Museum. No luck for us in that regard, though. We hadn’t made advance entry reservations (it’s free […]
