I took a harbor cruise of Long Beach and Los Angeles Harbors this past Saturday with a dear friend of mine. The cruise was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the harbor from the water’s side. While I sort through dozens of photos and pull together a few blog posts, I thought I’d use this picture […]

San Diego Zoo Safari Park
(18 photos in gallery) I visited the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on Sunday, arriving near opening time of 9am. I was glad for that as the day quickly became far to hot for the animals to be active and for me to be walking about! It was a very enjoyable morning, though, and I […]

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

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.

(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.
