This week’s Photo Challenge asks us for a photo that includes a name. I chose a name recognized the world over, Mickey, of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse fame. I took this picture while on a tour at the historical museum in Garden Grove, and it seems suitable for the challenge. ~SueBee

Newport Beach, Last Day 2016
(15 photos) December 31 2016 was a rainy day in Southern California, a nice end to a mostly miserable year. Personally, I enjoy overcast, chilly days at the beach, so when the rain took a pause, I hopped in my little truck and headed to Balboa Island. I parked and walked onto the ferry for a […]
2016 Bye Bye
I quickly wrote in the sand at Newport Beach this afternoon, and then, as with the year, it was gone. Wishing a Happy New Year and Everything Good for 2017! ~SueBee
Oak Glen with Snow, part 2
(9 photos) Continuing from my previous post, this gallery includes more photos taken at Oak Glen when Kat and I made a spontaneous visit earlier this week.

Oak Glen with Snow, part 1
(10 photos) Kat and I both have days off work this week (yippee!) and took a spontaneous drive to Oak Glen yesterday. While we noticed plenty of snow on the high mountains the next range over from Oak Glen, we didn’t expect to see snow on the ground in Oak Glen. It was a wonderful […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Path
This week’s WordPress photo challenge is Path… what it means to us, literally or figuratively. My photo was taken while walking the paths at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in July 2015 during a short vacation in Cambria, on California’s gorgeous central coast.

Golden Leaf
Foto Fix of a leaf was taken at Holcomb Valley, near Big Bear Lake. The leaf was on the ground, directly in my foot path, so I snatched it up and arranged it in the dry bush along the trail, then took this photo. My oldest daughter, Angelika, laughed, wondering how the leaf would have […]

Letterboxing and Geocaching
(16 photos in gallery) While in Big Bear over Thanksgiving weekend, my sister-in-law, Jeanne, suggested we explore the area, searching for Letterboxing and Geocaching sites. I’d heard of Geocaching, where people hide tiny items for others to find via GPS coordinates. Letterboxing is somewhat similar, but has more of a treasure hunt element because of the […]
Reflection of the Slopes
Foto Fix of the day shows the eastern end of Big Bear Lake reflecting mountainside ski slopes Thanksgiving weekend, before the snow storm hit. I was told most of the snow on the mountains is man-made and just two lifts were operating that day. ~SueBee

WordPress Weekly Photo challenge, relax, is the perfect topic for this time of year. Life for my family becomes hectic with holidays and birthdays, so taking time to relax is crucial.

Big Bear Lake at Thanksgiving
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the east end of Big Bear Lake before the snow storm arrived. The lake’s water level was really low due to years of drought. More pictures coming soon! ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: it’s not this time of year without…
This week’s Photo Challenge asks us for a photo portraying “it’s not this time of year without“… For my family this year, due to the loss of several loved ones these past twelve months, we chose to start a new tradition. We rented a cabin in the woods at Big Bear Lake, on the mountains […]
