Pirate Ship Kite
The Foto Fix I’ve chosen for today was taken up California’s central coast, near Santa Cruz, during a trip I made up there in 2013. It features a really cool pirate ship kite being flown by the little boy’s daddy. It appeared to be a rather tricky kite to fly. ~SueBee
Any bits left for me?
Today’s Foto Fix was taken from the Huntington Beach Pier and features a curious gull hoping for a bite to eat from a discarded plastic cup. Or perhaps, Mr Gull is being a good citizen and will take that plastic cup to the nearest trash can. ~SueBee
Giddyup
This set of pictures was taken a couple months ago on a particularly hot day when, like a crazy person, I decided to go for a hike. As I was nearing the dam at Carbon Canyon Regional Park, this fellow riding his horse caught my eye. Very wild west! ~SueBee

A Very Photogenic Ice Cream Cone
Today’s Foto Fix was taken on the Redondo Beach Pier this past Friday evening, as my oldest daughter, Angelika, and I enjoyed a short get-away vacation. While it seems everyone owning a smart phone has become a prolific photographer these days, taking pictures of anything and everything, this shot caught my attention. I never knew an […]
Tour during wedding set-up, Heritage Square
(18 photos in gallery) I took a long-overdue tour recently of a place that’s fascinated me for years, the Heritage Square Museum near downtown Los Angeles. I arrived late afternoon on a very hot day, and discovered a wedding being set up. Our tour guide ignored all the wedding hustle and bustle; I guessed it […]

This week’s WordPress photo challenge asks us to post a photo of the Cherry on Top, the icing on the cake, something adding a finishing touch to that which is already very good.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Details
For this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, we’re asked to share a photo showing Details. I decided to take a picture of my new zen sand garden, zoomed in to show details, and also let you know that details of my life in recent months have taken me away from the more frequent blog posting I […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Look Up
WorkPress Photo Challenge this week is Look Up so I’ve entered with “look, there’s people up there!” This is a close up view of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge as I looked up and tried to figure out how those people got up there… finding no stairs and no elevator door, it was very perplexing!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Curve

Zen Art
Today’s Foto Fix was taken while walking along San Francisco Bay in the quaint town of Sausalito. The artist was performing a balancing act! Certainly reminded me of all the small, flat rocks I collected on the beach at Cambria, and have balancing in stacks of threes at my home. ~SueBee
