(14 photos in gallery) I’m continuing from my previous post showcasing sights of Portland, Oregon, as I toured the city earlier this month. The most memorable shot on this particular day is the one below, of the older couple sitting on chairs placed right next to the street. As I was walking along, taking pictures, […]

Today’s set of pictures are the final from my visit to Portland, Oregon’s breathtaking International Test Rose Garden. Enjoy! ~SueBee

This photo, taken with my iPhone 6 during my recent visit to Portland, Oregon, was one of those lucky shots. A group of us were walking to dinner, I glanced up (naturally, always on the lookout), stopped walking, took a few shots, ran to catch up with the others. The reflection on the glass facade, along […]

(14 photos in gallery) Please join me as I continue my walking tour of the beautiful Portland (Oregon) International Test Rose Garden. We had a downpour of rain in Southern California last night, and I’m hoping if it continues, we might start to see some green here again, like in Portland!~SueBee

(14 photos in gallery) During my visit last weekend to Portland, Oregon, I bought a day pass on the Max Light Rail Service, and headed to Washington Park, home to the Zoo, International Test Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, and more. Portland is known as the city of roses (information below gallery). Please enjoy a tour through […]

These photos of downtown Portland, Oregon, were taken during my visit there this past weekend, as mentioned in my previous post. I created my own walking tour and ended up completely smitten by this very beautiful city. ~SueBee

(29 photos in gallery) I was fortunate this past weekend to join in the wedding celebration of very dear friends, in Portland, Oregon. I’d booked my flight months ago, prior to my health issues, and worried I’d not be able to attend. But, luckily, I made the trip. Not only were all of the wedding […]

(16 photos in gallery) Kat took an afternoon off work last week to join me in a spontaneous visit to Oak Glen, with its clear mountain air offering some of the best medicine for any ailment! We first had lunch at a favorite spot, (Riley’s Farm) Hawk’s Head Publick House, with its Revolutionary War era […]

This gorgeous bird, which may be some sort of duck (?), was resting in the Japanese garden pond at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. I cropped the photo in very closely so you could see that his eyes nearly look like jewels! If anyone knows what sort of bird this is, please let me […]

Imagine walking through this gorgeous archway at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino… what a refreshing journey you’ll take! ~SueBee

Today’s set of photos were taken at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino and show a very attentive guard of the bamboo. But, at times of napping, please refer to the sign. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix of sailboat clouds on the horizon was taken off the coast of Cambria. ~SueBee

This is where my mind is today. I think it’s a great place to have one’s mind!! 🙂 ~SueBee

I can’t seem to run out of shots I took in Cambria during my recent vacation. I hope you don’t mind a running theme! ~SueBee

Continuing my series on Cambria, with photos taken during my recent visit to that gorgeous Central California village, and area. ~SueBee

I spent a most delightful day at the little town of Avalon on Catalina Island this past Tuesday, July 21st. It was my birthday, and I therefore enjoyed the benefit of free round-trip passage on the Catalina Express out of Long Beach, California. Kat joined me on the 8:30am trip, with my oldest daughter, Angelika, […]

(10 photos in gallery) More randomly-chosen photos from my recent vacation in Cambria, up the coast to Central California, an area less populated and with great natural beauty. Cambria, where the pines meet the sea… ~SueBee

I hope you don’t mind that I spare the words while I share my Cambria State of Mind photos. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves! ~SueBee

(8 photos in gallery) As I mentioned in a post a few days ago, I was up the coast in the quaint village of Cambria, and surrounding area, for a very much needed vacation last week. I took many pictures (understatement). I’ve decided rather than trying to share them in order or by category, I’m […]

During my (longest in ages!) 4 day vacation at Cambria on California’s central coast, I took nearly 1000 pictures. My fellow photographers can relate, I’m sure. The natural beauty of the area was staggering, hence the continual click click click of my camera. I enjoyed my solo get-away, without internet or television, with much time […]
