Weekly Photo Challenge: Spare
…and she escaped with not a moment to spare! This is my entry into the current week’s Photo Challenge: Spare. I managed to capture this photo yesterday at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. The male peacocks were vying for attention of the females, showing off their gorgeous finery. The females were disinterested, and trying their […]
Sailboat at San Simeon
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at San Simeon last year, during my vacation up California’s central coast. San Simeon is well-known as the home of Hearst Castle, a gorgeous estate high on the hill above the coast. This photo always seemed magical to me, and brings reminisces of stories mom and dad shared about the sailboat […]
Laurel and Hardy at the Seashore
The expression on their faces, and their interaction after this picture was taken, reminded me of the famous comedy duo. This picture was taken on one of Southern California’s piers. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Face
For this week’s Photo Challenge: Face, I chose a picture of my oldest daughter, Angelika, that I took in 2013 at Santa Cruz’s Beach Boardwalk. We had so much fun visiting that gorgeous area, several hours up California’s coast, and this picture brings it all back. Angelika’s playful personality shining through as she’s imitating “Laughing Sal” makes me smile. […]

White Crane in the Woods
Today’s Foto Fix was taken yesterday at Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim Hills, the next town over from where I live in Orange.

San Francisco, part 2
Continuing my tour of San Francisco, these shots were taken from Fisherman’s Wharf as we made our way toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We were surprised to see people swimming in that very cold water. Wet suits or not it had to be really cold. ~SueBee
San Francisco, part 1
This is the first of several posts I’ll share over upcoming days featuring my recent weekend spent in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Today’s gallery starts off at Fisherman’s Wharf. The early morning was a bit overcast, but it quickly cleared and became the prettiest day I’ve ever seen up there! I definitely left […]
UFO
Can you identify the UFO (unknown flying object) in the upper right of this picture I took at San Francisco a few weeks ago? I didn’t notice the object until just now, as I gathered pictures for my next blog post, so I have no clue what it is. Since I was trying to focus on the […]
Danger, Keep Out
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at San Francisco while I was walking along Fisherman’s Wharf earlier this month. The sign seemed a bit of an understatement, considering there’s a battleship in the background. ~SueBee
Ahoy to Alcatraz
Today’s Foto Fix was taken a week ago in San Francisco during a wonderful weekend visiting there with my son and his boyfriend. We explored the city top to bottom by foot, and with camera.

In Memory
This photo is dedicated to my dear, sweet mom who passed away this past Saturday afternoon at the age of 98. Her passing was peaceful and without pain. My family and I are heartbroken. She was the anchor of our small family, she was always there, we were extremely close. I chose this picture because […]
Walking Down a Country Road
A haiku for this Thursday, featuring a photo taken at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria, a quaint village on California’s Central Coast. ~SueBee Small yellow flower in the middle of the road beckons me forward.
