Today’s Foto Fix was taken while I explored Modjeska Canyon in southern Orange County yesterday afternoon. Yes, it was a gorgeous day. 🙂 ~SueBee

Turquoise Rowboat
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Dana Point Harbor in Southern California, using my iPhone. The boat, as well as the matching posts, caught my eye as they’re painted in my favorite color. I took myself on a really nice Sunday afternoon drive, that included an inland canyon I’d never visited previously, followed by the harbor. […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Atop
My interpretation of this week’s Photo Challenge of the word Atop is of an artist, holding the water color painting I ended up purchasing, as he stood atop Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. My son’s fiance, Loren, and I had walked a great distance up a steep hill, and climbed many steps to reach this […]
Lady on a Bench
Your eye is directed to the brilliantly colored flowers on the right, while there sits a lady on a bench, swinging her feet as they don’t quite touch the ground… over on the left! I shot towards the sun, needed to add a bit of contrast, but I rather like the look of the lighting. […]
Poppies at Fullerton Arboretum
The newspapers have reported here lately about the carpets of wild flowers in the desert due to our rains this year. Saturday, driving out toward the desert with my family for wine tasting in Temecula, we were stuck in traffic and dragging along for miles. Turns out, the hills along the freeway were covered with patches […]
Back to Back Camellias
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Descanso Gardens, in the city of La Canada Flintridge, home to dozens upon dozens of gorgeous camellia bushes. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wish
My entry into this week’s Photo Challenge topic of Wish was taken in downtown Los Angeles. My wish is the same millions of others wish for, that we’re not sorted and classified into categories. We’re one, simply human. ~SueBee
Swim Area
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Long Beach, California, and features the swim area being diligently monitored, the boundary line not being crossed. ~SueBee
Good Morning!
It’s Monday, early morning, and I’m about to head out the door to work. What better way to cheer myself up than a burst of color? Enjoy your day as I’ll try to do with mine! ~SueBee
Storm Remnants in Long Beach
(9 photos) “Watch your step” were the key words when wandering along the sand at Long Beach after one of our recent storms. I’m not sure where all the bamboo came from, but it was obvious where all the trash did…. humans. With all the work groups have done trying educating people to properly dispose of […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: The Road Taken
This week’s photo challenge asks for something that surprised us on The Road Taken. I chose this photo I took with my iPhone while kayaking at Catalina Island, off Southern California’s coast. Paddling on a watery “road” through the boat docks, trying my best not to drop my phone in the water, nor crash into a boat, […]
Orange on the Sand
This orange at the water’s edge was spotted as I walked along at Long Beach a week or two ago. An artist’s still-life arrangement in the sand, and someone’s snack gone missing. ~SueBee
1+ tea house
For my Foto Fix of the day I chose one I took in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and converted to black and white. The laundry hanging on the fire escape behind the tea house sign created an interesting, very urban, scene to my eye. ~SueBeeÂ
Weekly Photo Challenge: A Good Match
For this week’s Photo Challenge, A Good Match, what better than a black leather jacket and a Harley? They’re from 1960 era, and owned by Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. Both items were included in a display at Muzeo in Anaheim, California, a few years back. Kat and I were fortunate to […]
Balcony View
Today’s Foto Fix was taken in San Francisco’s Chinatown. I imagine this elderly woman has seen her share of goings on from this balcony… ~SueBee
Beach Fashion
Photo taken at Long Beach as I surveyed the variety of trash washed up since our recent storms. Missing your other high heel, anyone? ~SueBee
Telescope to the Sea
Today’s Foto Fix was taken yesterday along the Long Beach boardwalk. Pay a quarter (I didn’t check, maybe it’s a dollar by now), get a better view… of the container ships waiting to pull in and unload, sailboats enjoying a nice afternoon, little islands dressed up with palms hiding oil rigs pumping non-stop, people walking and […]
Focusing on Red in San Francisco
(14 photos) I joined my son, Andreas, and his partner (soon to be son-in-law!), Loren, on a trip to San Francisco, April, 2016. While my son was in a board meeting, Loren and I did a self-guided walking tour of San Francisco. We covered the city, one end to the other, logging numerous miles onto our […]
Art Along the Coast
I took a short vacation a few months back and explored the area along Southern California’s coast. Driving south from my hometown of Orange, there remain a few places that aren’t lined with housing tracts bumper to bumper. So refreshing! While keeping an eye out for art in public places as I drove along, I found […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Against the Odds
I’m entering this week’s photo challenge, Against the Odds, with an action picture that was against all odds for my photography skill level. It’s a picture I took awhile back, but it stuck in mind as perfect for this challenge. I never seem to be ready at just the right moment, but this time I […]
