There are tiny, prehistoric fish in the hot, dry desert. How is that possible? Nature never ceases to amaze! While visiting my friends in Pahrump, Nevada, they took me to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Just look at the color of that water! It’s a spectacular, gorgeous turquoise blue… crystal clear, and with tiny, blue […]

Coyote and French Fries
While traveling the lonely back roads of Southern California’s desert on my recent visit to Pahrump, Nevada, I noticed something crossing way up ahead. As I approached, I realized it was a coyote… looking rather scrawny. Having the remainder of a packet of french fries I’d bought in Baker, and feeling rather full, I decided […]
Highway Into the Dunes
For a quick Foto Fix, please enjoy this picture I took while driving on Hwy 127 from Baker, California toward Pahrump, Nevada. It’s a wonderfully lonely drive… much different than the oftentimes bumper-to-bumper traffic I’d been experiencing on Hwy 15 toward Las Vegas. Truly a breath of fresh air. ~SueBee
Is it a Mirage?
I spent the weekend in Pahrump, Nevada, visiting my friends, Aranka and George. Aranka and I have known each other since the early 1970’s. It’s been nice catching up since she and George moved from Northern California to Pahrump, much closer to my home. It’s “only” about 250 miles. While exploring the desert area between […]
Brewery Artwalk, Spring 2018
(28 photos) I made a brief stop at the Brewery Artwalk in downtown Los Angeles this past Sunday. I didn’t have too much time to wander the fascinating artist lofts and studios, but did catch a few. I must admit that while exploring the artistic creativity that’s in abundance there, the historical setting catches my […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Smile
With this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, we’re asked to show something that makes us smile or is a smile. I therefore submit this picture I took during the golden hour on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Corona Del Mar in Southern California. The cute smiling face makes me smile. 🙂 ~SueBee
Easter Afternoon at the Arboretum

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rise/Set
This week’s Photo Challenge is Rise/Set… we’re asked to showcase sunrise or sunset. I chose two sunsets, both taken in Southern California, featuring silhouettes. The beach picture was taken near Newport Beach Pier. The city skyline was taken from the parking structure rooftop at The Grove, a beautiful, outdoors shopping center on the west side […]
Crowded Sea
The giant Pacific Ocean and it’s that crowded in one particular spot near Newport Beach, California. ~SueBee
New Orleans Doors, 2
Finishing up pictures from my New Orleans trip with one additional gallery of front doors on homes in the Garden District. What a wonderful trip I had to a fantastic city. I hope to return again one day. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Favorite Place
My entry into this week’s Photo Challenge of a Favorite Place is a picture I took at Southern California’s Corona Del Mar beach. It truly is a favorite place. When my mom passed away nearly two years ago, her ashes were scattered at sea, as per her wishes, joining my dad. That same day, my […]
Doors of New Orleans, 1
(15 photos) Pulling from the stockpile of photos I took on my recent trip to New Orleans, this gallery features beautiful front doors in the Garden District. I found them intriguing, so very tall; I was fascinated by the gas lighting, they exuded such elegance.~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Story
This week WordPress asks us to tell a story with our pictures so I chose ones I took in downtown Los Angeles. This wonderfully friendly homeless man told me his story… of having been a fighter, a boxer. I must admit to cringing when he insisted on showing me his art form as he boxed […]
Lovely Leaf
Today’s picture features a very pretty leaf that I noticed while visiting the Fullerton Arboretum recently. ~SueBee
Rainy Day at Cal Poly’s Taste of the Farm Store
Yesterday, Kat, her husband, her girlfriend and I visited Kat’s univeristy alma mater, California Polytechnic University, aka Cal Poly Pomona. The Farm Store had an event going featuring fruit and vegetables grown on campus. The university is super cool, because being a polytechnic school, it features hands-on learning. The campus is on the site of […]
Abandoned in Rhyolite
The inside of an old building that had long since been abandoned in Rhyolite, a ghost town in Death Valley National Park. My friends, Aranka and George, toured me through there last year when I visited. It’s a fascinating place. ~SueBee
Taste of New Orleans, part 5, Garden District
The gallery of photos in this post features those I took in the New Orleans’ Garden District. I rode the trolley from my downtown hotel, then walked through this area of beautiful, old homes. Such classic architecture, stately and grand. Seeing someone walking basset hounds added to the atmosphere for me! ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: A Face In The Crowd
My entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge, A Face In The Crowd, was taken as people started lining up for the next show of the jazz band playing at Preservation Hall in New Orleans’ French Quarter. I later joined the line and was treated to the highlight of my trip. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band […]
