As the gull makes his elegant descent from the lamppost, I was at the ready with my lens pointed directly at him… and then shifted quickly to one side so as not to obstruct his forward movement! Our entry into this week’s photo challenge was taken at the Seal Beach Pier this past Saturday, after the […]

I’m planning another book for this week’s challenge, Cover Art, and will be using this photo as the cover. It’ll be a collection of my poetry, short stories and photos, with a bit of retrospect, a touch of reminiscing, an abundance of humor. It’s based on my life’s journey, as adapted from my favorite lines of my favorite poem, The Road […]

The cover of my new book “It Was Current Just Yesterday- but has since been filed away” is submitted for this week’s photo challenge, Cover Art. This photo was taken today in the University of Southern California’s Doheny Memorial Library while I was visiting the Los Angeles Archives Bizarre being held there. The card catalog is living proof of […]

This photo, taken of a friend’s daughter at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, demonstrates something very bizarre, and not being a science specialist, I’ll consider it as an entry to last week’s Photo Challenge theme of Refraction. The little girl is walking on the other side of a large fish tank, with a photo on […]

Following a fun week of being tour guide to visiting relatives from Germany, I’m feeling rather dreamy. Therefore this week’s photo challenge hits the right note with me! My entry for the challenge was taken from the 16th floor window of a San Diego hotel room during my visit there a few weeks back. The morning haze was thinning, […]

For this week’s Photo Challenge theme of Signs, we simply had to choose this photo of a world famous sign, HOLLYWOOD! (Photo by Kat)

unyielding stone beneath worn down bone protective cape, a ragged drape shoulders stooped and sagging reflective eyes, wherein memory lies of many tries, of failed ties self-made walls, treasured halls the daily shift, that load to lift cannot stay, don’t care to pray must get through another day endurance, her insurance. This week’s Photo Challenge theme is Endurance, which I’ve interpreted as the plight of the […]

(16 photos in gallery) This week’s Photo Challenge theme of Humanity, interpreted to mean selflessly caring for others, is one dear to the hearts of most of us, and yet truly acted upon by just some. And by those in varying degrees. While many go about their lives living for themselves, simply passing through each day, others spend those same days in […]

This week’s Photo Challenge theme of Adventure is demonstrated by a statue I admired at Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula this past weekend. Children heading off on an adventure… what could be better?!! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) (photo edited in Picasa3)

Gazing into the fray…. our entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge. This picture was captured last Friday evening at Los Angeles Harbor in San Pedro, during the Tall Boats Festival. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

I couldn’t resist another entry into this week’s photo challenge, Silhouette. This shot was taken in the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles during my recent photography walking tour, and features an unmistakable character, Charlie Chaplin as the Tramp. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Our entry may require glasses or magnifier to see the helicopter silhouette in the clouds! This shot was taken from the rooftop of The Grove shopping center parking garage, in West Los Angeles. I used the sunset setting on my Nikon 5100, which added the red color, although the sunset was spectacular to begin with. […]

Spotted this zigzag fence in Oak Glen this past weekend, and immediately the photo challenge from a week or two ago came to mind! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)More zigzags can be found here.

Cotton Candy, aka Fairy Floss, is in the making at the Orange County Fair, and represents our entry into this week’s photo challenge, Texture. This photo offers up various textures, from the sugar granules scattered alongside the machine, to the soft, light, airy, fluffy stuff being spun to perfection. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) This week, share a texture found in an unexpected place. […]

Teens lovin’ that summer is a comin’… Rejoicing in the sunset of school work, the sunrise of carefree beach days, joy spreading as colors in the sky. ~SueBee Living in a land of nearly eternal summer, Southern California, I took a twist on this week’s theme and jumped outside of myself to include the Summer Lovin’ exuberance of these […]

My entry for this week’s photo challenge is that of three containers, one within the next. First, the little mussel shell, a container itself, contained within a sea anemone, which is contained within a tide pool at Crystal Cove Beach in Orange County. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)“For this Week’s Photo Challenge, show us something that contains something else. Share your own […]

My dear, sweet mom. Born September 20, 1917, middle child with seven brothers bookending her. Gazing through the window, gazing through time. Lost in her memories. Where have the years gone? The typewriter. So familiar… Just like the one she used at her job in downtown Los Angeles. She rode the streetcar to get there. And wonders where is the […]

I couldn’t resist another entry into this intriguing theme. From my perspective, this photo taken on a main highway in Carlsbad, California, is a study in contrast if ever there was one… the old days versus nowadays. Traversing our country on foot, leading a mule, zipping across town in a speedy motor vehicle. Old-time, modern-time. Viewing […]

Heads held higher than the rest Fending off society’s test Struggling still with more to gain Often different and yet the same ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) Enjoy further studies in Contrast.  

A whispered secret between friends is our entry into this week’s photo challenge. I took this picture at The Muckenthaler, a cultural center in Fullerton, California, during a concert and classic car show a few weeks ago. The ladies, members of the Red Hat Society, were thoroughly enjoying the concert, between shared moments. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) More between photos here http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/between/
