Descanso Gardens in March, part 1
Descanso Gardens is a photographer’s paradise in any season, but early in the year has always been my favorite. These pictures were taken two weeks ago during my spontaneous visit to the gardens in La Canada Flintridge, right next door to the city of La Crescenta where I spent a delightful childhood. Enjoy your weekend! […]

Toadstool Village
Today’s Foto Fix was taken ground-level at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge during my visit a week or two ago. ~SueBee
Roadside Farm
Today’s Foto Fix was taken last July when I took a short vacation to California’s Central Coast town of Cambria. The area just south of town is filled with rolling hills, farms and vineyards. It’s a very beautiful, restful place, unless you’re the one having to load all that firewood onto the pickup truck! ~SueBee
Happy Faces
Today’s Foto Fix features sweet pansies showing off at Descanso Gardens this past Saturday. ~SueBee
Descanso’s Camellias
I visited Descanso Gardens yesterday, famous for the extensive collection of camellias. It’s a beautiful place in La Canada Flintridge, a town near where I grew up, and about 50 miles from my current home in Orange. Descanso Gardens had once been the estate of Elias Manchester Boddy and family; the history can be found at this […]
Morning Coffee
Good Morning to you! This photo was taken at the Palm Springs Riviera Hotel last October while on a visit to participate in the Desert AIDS Walk. ~SueBee
Unexpected Pose
How often does it happen to those of us photographers, that we snap a picture of a scene and later find a surprise when we put it up on the computer? I took the first shot looking down the beach at Encinitas two weeks ago, and then as it was enlarged on my monitor at home, […]
Encinitas Sunset
Foto Fix taken at Encinitas in San Diego County of Southern California. No further words necessary! ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: State of Mind
Jumping into this week’s Photo Challege: State of Mind, I can tell you what mine was while taking this picture… hunger… and envy! This picture was taken near the town of Encinitas on the drive home from San Diego, after a long, fun day visiting the Zoo. I find it impossible to remain on the […]
I see it’s Saturday!
This photo was taken at the San Diego Zoo last Saturday, as I spent a wonderful day wandering among the animals. I believe this beautiful bird realizes it to be Saturday, not a work day for me, and therefore a favorite day of the week! ~SueBee
Tri-color Hibiscus
Today’s Foto Fix of a colorful hibiscus was taken on Saturday at the San Diego Zoo. Isn’t it beautiful?! ~SueBee
It’s All Happening at the Zoo
(18 photos in gallery) I was in complete agreement with the Simon & Garfunkle song “It’s All Happening at the Zoo” yesterday, as I visited the San Diego Zoo for the first time in decades. Kat and her boyfriend, Cameron, gave me an annual pass for the Zoo and associated Wild Animal Park at Christmas. I finally […]
Seaside Remnant
I took this picture with my iPhone last Friday evening while wandering along the sand at Newport Beach, before meeting a friend from high school for dinner. I’m not sure what the wooden structure had been when in good condition. It was quite close to the pier, so maybe it had been used to tie up boats. […]
Ferns and Reflection
This picture was taken while I was visiting Portland, Oregon, last September. What a beautiful city it is, lush and green, as this pictures demonstrates! ~SueBee
A Sunday Afternoon in the Garden
I enjoyed last Sunday afternoon, wandering around the Fullerton Arboretum, on what felt like a springtime day. Such are the reasons we live here in Southern California. We may moan and complain about the intense, seemingly endless hot spells, and worry about the drought and damage it’s done, but we still continue to love our blue […]
Red Farm Store
I took today’s Foto Fix this past Sunday outside of Cal Poly Pomona’s Farm Store. In the background, a bit of snow is still to be seen on the mountains. With our current heat wave, though, I expect it will sadly be all melted within days. ~SueBee
Monday Morning Kitty
This kitty shares the same expression I have each Monday morning as I head off to work. I took this picture on Sunday afternoon at the community garden section of nearby Fullerton University’s Arboretum. It was a gorgeous, warm, breezy day and perfect for a walk in the gardens.~SueBee
Wooden Piers in Sand
A quintessential beach scene, this one taken at Crystal Cove State Park in Southern California’s Orange County, provides today’s Foto Fix. ~SueBee
