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 […]

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 […]

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

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

Weekly Photo Challenge, Evanescent 2
I’m submitting a second entry for this week’s Photo Challenge, Evanescent, with this photo I took at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada last week. Notice the climber making an attempt up the side of the rock. Well, not a second after taking the picture, the climber slipped off the rock and was […]

This week, the WordPress Photo Challenge asks us for a photo interpreting Evanescent (an adjective defined as soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing). I chose a photo I took last week at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge near Death Valley of a very speedy jackrabbit. He was gone in […]

Opera in Death Valley
(14 photos) My friends, Aranka and her husband George, whom I visited in Pahrump, Nevada, earlier this week took me on a fabulous tour of the local area. On Tuesday, our destination was Death Valley.

Road Trip
After returning home from Kat’s wedding in Julian (a couple hours south from home), I collapsed into bed, and then got up to hit the road again. My destination would be a town called Pahrump in the Nevada desert, about an hour northwest of Las Vegas, new home of a long-time friend. I headed out […]

It was everything the newlyweds dreamed of, and planned for the past 14 months. The pictures in this gallery were […]
