Today’s “foto fix” is of my boyfriend and me taking a pic of these gorgeous orange flowers at the same time…there he is in the background 🙂 ~Kat (Pic by Kat)

Cable TV and I parted company quite some time ago, but prior to tossing in the cable box, I’d seen enough of the talking heads on TV for the expression to stick in my head. For those not familiar with the term talking heads, it refers to the so-called experts who blab on and on, […]

I recently took an outdoor photography class with my boyfriend, Cam…learned tons a great tips! As I mentioned in my previous article, Cam now has the same camera as me, so we’ve been testing out our new-found knowledge together. We went to Disneyland a few days ago, and took tons of awesome shots! However, I’m […]

Spontaneous trips are the best, especially when camping and photography are involved! This past weekend, my boyfriend, Cam, and I decided to go camping in Joshua Tree National Park…such a gorgeous place! Cam just bought himself the same camera I have (Nikon d5100) so we turned the trip into a photography journey. We stayed at […]

The 81st annual Chrysanthemum Show was in progress when I visited Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge yesterday. Were you aware of such variety of the flower with the really long name, commonly sold in the fresh flowers section at the grocery store? I wasn’t. They’re really spectacular. It must be difficult being a judge, […]

We’re lucky! We live in Southern California, which is like having the entire world within one time zone, easy driving distance for an afternoon’s outing. The variety of traditions, cultures, languages, foods (yum!), religions… is incredible. A place I enjoy visiting often for a unique cultural experience (along with their ever-rotating, amazing exhibits), is the […]

Grand ideas for a Los Angeles that never came to fruition,  whether for lack of money, support, or the occasional morbid reason, are numerous. I lucked out in viewing the ‘Never Built Los Angeles‘ exhibit at the A + D Museum on Wilshire (across from LACMA) during its final showing last week. I’d never been […]

Driving late evening in a light, misty rain that made everything drip and headlights glare off the pavement, it occurred to me that yet again time got away from me. Although, I couldn’t quite wrap my head around how it got late, and dark, so fast. Somewhat new to Orange County, I’d been checking out […]

When you walk into an antique store, you walk back in time…you experience history through tangible objects. It’s fascinating seeing knick-knacks, toys, clothing, decor, and art from various eras, all in one place…it’s like several history lessons all in one shopping trip! Despite being from the Millennial generation, I’ve always had a passion for old […]

This afternoon’s “out and about” adventure included several winding, narrow streets up the Hollywood Hills, ending at this picturesque scene, Lake Hollywood Reservoire. The world-famous Hollywood sign stands guard over multi-million dollar homes and offers quite a contrast to nature’s beauty. More about the lake and its history, along with a few more pictures, in a […]

It seems almost sacrilegious that, despite living most my life in Los Angeles, I’d never been to a Laker’s game… until last night! I finally attended, thanks to my oldest daughter, Angelika, asking me to join her and our friend, Cynthia, at Honda Center in Anaheim for the final pre-season game. Traffic was a nightmare […]

My parents had a small sailboat before my older brother and I were born. In fact, they put off having kids until their mid 30s, choosing to have adventures first. (Ha! Little did they know how much adventure kids can bring to life.) But, their plans were a good thing because sadly dad never made […]

Damp, blustery, overcast all day, in a lingering sort of way… Fall chancing a visit as old friends do, inviting me to pause and chat awhile, and maybe snuggle up for a brief stay, at the roadside inn down by the bay. ~SueBee Photo taken at my favorite pub, the Side Door in Corona del Mar

Vacation cottages from another era, a beautiful secluded beach, and the Pacific Ocean, seem like a great combo for today’s Foto Fix. Venturing out earlier this year with my new Nikon D5100, I used the miniature setting, not having a clue what I was doing, and captured this vintage-feel shot that I love. Luck or […]

Muzeo in downtown Anaheim opened the coolest, and I do mean coolest, exhibit on Saturday, “Worn to be Wild – the Black Leather Jacket“. It continues until January 12, 2014. Per Muzeo’s website, “Harley-Davidson Museum in partnership with EMP Museum present a dynamic exhibit that traces the path of the leather motorcycle jacket from functional […]

Returning home from another lovely get-away weekend in Palm Springs earlier today, I took a detour off the 60 to visit the Mission Inn (more about that gorgeous place in another post). Approaching on Mission Inn Avenue, I saw this skeletal bicyclist out front of the Riverside Art Museum.  Not having enough time for a […]

Today’s Foto Fix was captured this past summer, late in the afternoon, at LACMA. Folks were grooving to the beat of a very popular jazz band, kids playing soccer on the grass, the sun was starting its approach into the Pacific Ocean, and I was wandering about. Then, I noticed this little girl, thoroughly captivated by her […]

My auntie and I are photography buds…she taught me how to use my Nikon d5100. I went to the LA Arboretum with her to practice, and used her macro lens to catch today’s “Foto Fix.” Aren’t close-ups awesome?! They’re my favorite type of pics to take, especially when I have a macro lens to use […]

Africa? No, San Diego Zoo Safari Park! Situated just a bit north of San Diego and inland from Escondido, is our own African paradise. It’s spectacular, especially on a cooler day when the trails are easy to walk, and the animals are full of energy. The young gorilla in today’s Foto Fix was busily snacking away as […]
