Today’s Foto Fix was taken off the Seal Beach pier a few months ago, using my iPhone. I continue to be in awe of the talent who created this! Happy Friday everyone! ~SueBee

Dressing Downton Exhibit at Muzeo
(5 photos) I visited the Downton Abbey costume exhibit at the Muzeo Museum in Anaheim this past Sunday with my son and his fiance. After watching the British TV series, and being taken away to another time, in part due to the costumes, I was very excited to see the exhibit. It didn’t disappoint, and I […]
Origin of Oranges
A recent visit to the Fullerton Arboretum brought air that was fragrant with orange blossoms. I stood under the trees and inhaled sweetness to my heart’s delight. Talk about real life aromatherapy, ahhhhh!! ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Dense
This week’s Photo Challenge of the word Dense features very dense-set, extremely sharp spikes on a cactus plant in the Fullerton Arboretum. Definitely a source of ouch if you get too close. ~SueBee
Henry the Desert Tortoise
(6 photos) Weekend before last I explored the area near Modjeska Canyon and came upon a tiny nature center where I “met” Henry. Having had a tortoise when I was very young, and turtles having been my very favorite animal in those days, I was drawn to Henry. The space he called home was quite […]
Sunset at CDM
(2 photos) Yesterday, March 26 2017, my three kids, their partners and I met for a drink at a favorite place in Corona Del Mar to mark the one year anniversary since my mom, their grandma, passed away at the age of 98 (and a half). My mom was a special woman, we were all […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: It IS Easy Being Green
(5 photos) This week WordPress Photo Challenge, It IS Easy Being Green, was an easy one for me. I’d taken a drive last weekend through some back canyons here in Southern California, and was surrounded by green hills. All the rain this season turned us into a lush paradise. So, in Southern California, it IS easy […]
Yellow Hibiscus in My Front Yard
Daily Foto Fix taken at the golden hour of a beautiful yellow hibiscus blooming in my front yard. ~SueBee
Modjeska, Off the Beaten Path
(14 photos) It’s often impossible when living and working in the concrete jungle of Southern California to imagine that rustic, rural places do still exist around us… and often within very short driving distances. This past Sunday, I took myself for a drive and a bit of exploring in the region south of where I […]
View from Modjeska Grade Road
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 […]
