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
Succulent Arrangements at Sherman Gardens
These arrangements are lining the walkway to the succulent section at Sherman Gardens in Corona Del Mar. Aren’t they pretty?! ~SueBee
Lily Pond at Sherman Gardens
I visited the beautiful Sherman Gardens in nearby Corona Del Mar earlier this week. It was a lovely, overcast day, perfect for photographing flowers. Just inside the garden entrance off Pacific Coast Highway is the ever-delightful lily pond with the adorable otter holding a hose, filling water into the pond. A visit to these gardens […]
Nearing Our 5 Year Anniversary
Tomorrow, September 1, 2018, will be the five year anniversary of SueBee and Kat’s first blog post being published! Reflecting on the places we’ve gone (both Kat and I at the beginning, and in recent years, me, solo), and things we’ve seen over those years makes me glad we started this journey. While I haven’t […]
A Day at the Lake
It was the perfect day at Lake Gregory in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. My oldest daughter, Angelika, our friend, Cynthia, and I took a picnic and found the perfect little lakeside beach to set up. Even the ducks were envious of our spot! ~SueBee
Lakeside Umbrellas
Our beach umbrellas at Lake Gregory yesterday afternoon, fending off the sun and a nice breeze. ~SueBee
Texture
Today’s Foto Fix features cotton candy (candy floss) as it waits to be twisted onto a paper cone at the Orange County Fair. ~SueBee
Holy Fire
As you may have heard, California is on fire. In Northern California, massive fires burn and burn. Then, just a few days ago, a fire started in Orange County, set by a madman already arrested by the police. This new fire was dubbed the Holy Fire because it started near an area of cabins called […]
Palm Shadows
Today’s Foto Fix was taken along the promenade at Catalina Island as I walked from Descanso Beach Club toward the famous Casino building. ~SueBee
Giant Bubbles
While wandering around the quaint town of Avalon on Catalina Island last week, I became enthralled with this street vendor making gigantic bubbles. The guy was using a contraption made from large sticks and rope. As you can see, he drew a crowd! ~SueBee
