I’m submitting the photo I took of one of the world’s most famous bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge. My son, his fiance and I visited San Francisco in late 2015 and walked over the bridge. Let me tell you, that was a long walk! ~SueBee

Wish Upon a Stone Mushroom
Leave a coin, make a wish… today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino, California. My previous visits, I never noticed the coins left at this statue. I’m not sure the history or reason, but hey, if we can wish upon a star, why not a stone mushroom!?! ~SueBee
Pink and White

Under the Seaside Umbrella

Los Rios Historic District, SJC
(25 photos) Exiting the train this past Sunday from my spontaneous ride to San Juan Capistrano, I was surprised to find a tiny row of shops and restaurants running directly along the train tracks. Turns out the area holds many of the town’s original buildings from the days before California was part of the United […]
Weekly Photo Challenge, Transient
I’m interpreting the Weekly Photo Challenge of Transient as “here today, gone tomorrow”, and showing a couple pics I took from the train yesterday. I hopped on in Orange, where I live, and off at San Juan Capistrano, south of me. Seeing the field of crops surrounded by new buildings and construction equipment, well, it […]
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
(8 photos) The pictures in this gallery were taken at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve , in Huntington Beach, during a recent drive up Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach to Seal Beach, where I stopped for dinner. The noise level was intense from all the birds, circling off in the distance. It was so cool […]
Coolness for a Hot Day
With weather temps predicted in the hot range here in Southern California today, I felt a big of coolness would be welcome. This picture was taken at a favorite spot, the quaint town of Cambria on California’s central coast. ~SueBee
Afternoon on the Mountain, Oak Glen
I realized yesterday while starting a few projects in my craft room that I hadn’t been to Oak Glen for some time, so I put aside the projects and hopped in my little truck. The 1 and a 1/4 hour drive was pleasant. I went straight away to a favorite spot, Snow Line, for coffee […]
Garden Color for a Sunday

Scaling Red Rock
(8 photos) Rock climbing Red Rock is very popular. I found it fascinating to watch, thanks to my zoom lens, as my friends gave me a tour of the area recently. It’s a sport requiring skill, endurance, patience, determination, and I would imagine finger strength (?!). ~SueBee
Ash Meadows
(16 photos) During my recent visit to Nevada, my friends toured us through Death Valley, on to the ghost town of Rhyolite, the town of Beatty, and then to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was absolutely fascinating. Crystal clear, turquoise water in the middle of the desert, with wee, tiny fish that flourish […]
Pretty Orange in my Garden
I’m sharing a couple pictures taken with my iPhone camera of a gorgeous monarch butterfly resting on the butterfly bush in my back yard, and beautiful orange roses clipped from my front garden. ~SueBee
Fishing from the Pier
Taking an evening walk along the Seal Beach Pier yesterday, I stopped to watch this fisherman getting his line ready and noticed a boat speeding right toward us. It managed a nice sideways maneuver and unloaded a worker from the oil platform visible in the distance. ~SueBee

Mr penguin, thar’s gold in them thar hills
This large metal sculpture was a very bizarre scene to stumble across in Death Valley’s ghost town of Rhyolite. Therefore, a good choice for my occasional Daily Foto Fix category. ~SueBee
Breaking Through the Clouds
Today’s Foto Fix features a shot taken as sunlight slipped through a crack in the cloud cover and highlighted a slice of Red Rock Canyon. ~SueBee
Desert Shack
Today’s Foto Fix was taken near the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada. I try to imagine who built this shack, who spent time within its walls, what dreams they had… ~SueBee Four Walls Four walls are all I need to roll out my bed at night, hold off the critters from my grub store my […]
Spectacular Red Rock Canyon
During my visit to Pahrump, Nevada, last week, my friends toured me through the Red Rock Canyon area. To say it’s spectacularly beautiful is an understatement. I hope to return one day for some hiking as I’m sure the views from the top must be even more incredible. ~SueBee
