Another desert oddity I spotted while visiting my friends in Pahrump, Nevada, this past weekend. A saguaro cactus robbery in action! ~SueBee

Perplexed Squirrel
I witnessed the impact of humans on our wildlife population while visiting the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens a week or two ago. It was so sad to see. I watched a poor squirrel skitter to the end of each branch on a tree that had been recently trimmed back; each branch was freshly cut. […]
Late Afternoon at the Huntington
On the way home from my brother and sister-in-law’s in Burbank yesterday, I stopped for a fairly short visit at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. I arrived at 3pm; the gardens close at 5. I’m glad I arrived so late because it looked to have been a jam-packed day. It was, after all, the […]
2018 Washed Out to Sea
I took my annual “washed out to sea” picture on the beach at El Segundo while waiting for my son and son-in-law’s flight to arrive at LAX. The timing at the beach was perfect. The sun was setting and at the golden hour, the waves allowed me a very quick scratch in the sand, and […]
Ending 2018 in Los Angeles, part 2
Continuing from yesterday’s post with more photos from the visit Kat and I had to downtown Los Angeles. ~SueBee
Ending 2018 in Los Angeles, part 1
Kat and I took the train from the Orange depot to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles two days ago. We wanted to visit the Natural History Museum before her membership and guest passes expired. Getting to the Museum was quite an adventure, though. The train to L.A. was a simple straight shot, no problem. […]
Gamble House at Christmas
This beautiful, Craftsman-era entry door is at the Gamble House in Pasadena. It’s especially beautiful with the Christmas decorations. ~SueBee
An Afternoon at El Dorado Nature Center
A real need to get outdoors hit, prompting a visit to the El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach. Working in an interior office all week can do that to a person. The break was so refreshing as evidenced by these pics, taken with my iPhone. ~SueBee
Enjoying the Sun
El Dorado Nature Park in Long Beach is a great place for an afternoon walk, or to relax and enjoy the sun as these turtles are doing! Picture taken with my iPhone. ~SueBee
A Weekday at Oak Glen
In early October, I had a day off work and decided to drive the hour or so up to Oak Glen. I’d hoped too see some changing leaves for Autumn, and also smaller crowds. Oak Glen has been promoted extensively in the past year or two, making it packed with people and losing some of […]
Pond at Oak Glen
Today’s Foto Fix was taken a few weeks ago at Oak Glen. I’d hoped to see some fall colors, but the weather hadn’t yet allowed that to happen. Maybe I’ll take another drive up there this month… fingers crossed for cooler days! ~SueBee
Metrolink Train to L.A.
It’s already been a few weeks since I took an early train from the city of Orange, where I live, to downtown Los Angeles. We’d had a rare rain the day prior as you’ll notice in the one photo of a storm canal. Other photos are views out the train window along the way; more […]
Frida Kahlo at Olvera Street
This picture was taken at Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles recently. I wandered around there before my train departure home to Orange County. ~SueBee
Changing of the Leaf
I drove up the mountain from Yucaipa to Oak Glen, hoping to find a bit of fall color… I found it, a bit, as evidenced by this picture. I’m guessing our hot weather hasn’t been what the trees need to give us that beautiful splash of color we adore. Maybe next month… ~SueBee
Look Up at Union Station
Happy Friday! I took this picture yesterday while hoping not to get plowed into by people rushing past as I pointed my camera waaaay up at the ceiling. This was in the East Terminal at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Rather dizzying I must say. ~SueBee
Wildfire Control in Action
I decided on a late evening walk yesterday, arriving at my destination (Oak Canyon Nature Trail in Anaheim Hills, California) just before dusk. Getting out of the car I realized I’d gotten there too late; it gets dark very quickly. I therefore figured I’d wander just a wee bit up the trail and turn back. […]
Lookout
Assigned the position of lookout, this little ground squirrel was spotted on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Carlsbad. ~SueBee
Off the Coast of Carlsbad
A few pictures from my recent overnight stay in Carlsbad, just down the coast from my home in Orange, in Southern California. ~SueBee
Sights from Sherman Gardens
I’m sharing a bit of scenery from Sherman Gardens, located a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Corona Del Mar. With a greenhouse, Koi pond, gift shop, cafe, and research library along with pathways wandering through various themed plantings, it’s easy to enjoy a full afternoon there. ~SueBee
