(8 photos in gallery) As I mentioned in a post a few days ago, I was up the coast in the quaint village of Cambria, and surrounding area, for a very much needed vacation last week. I took many pictures (understatement). I’ve decided rather than trying to share them in order or by category, I’m […]

Sunset at Cambria
During my (longest in ages!) 4 day vacation at Cambria on California’s central coast, I took nearly 1000 pictures. My fellow photographers can relate, I’m sure. The natural beauty of the area was staggering, hence the continual click click click of my camera. I enjoyed my solo get-away, without internet or television, with much time […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Door, 2
A second entry to Weekly Photo Challenge: Door, is the Door to Eternal Happiness (as per a local resident’s explanation). I took this picture while hiking this week near Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria, on California’s central coast, just a bit outside of my usual Southern California. I realize another week has gone by and […]
At the Huntington, 2
Continuing from my previous post, the photos in this gallery further explore the grounds and a few more statues at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Door, 1
For this Weekly Photo Challenge, Door, I chose a favorite door photo, taken at the Brewery in Downtown Los Angeles. The doors that lead to nowhere but a drop off two and three flights down. Even knowing this building had been a beer brewery back in the day (the building now houses artist lofts and […]
At the Huntington, 1
The grounds of the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino in Southern California are extensive, with many different garden areas, from desert plants to Chinese to Japanese to lush rain forest and roses. The views I’m sharing in post #1 feature some of the vast lawn areas, the lushness of the shaded sections, […]

Under the Pier
Newport Beach Pier at sunset is the setting for our Daily Foto Fix. I blurred the edges a bit, after testing out various effects. I rather like the result, do you? ~SueBee
Dry Seed Pod
A broken-open, dry seed pod I found interesting, along the path while hiking at Santiago Oaks Regional Park in Orange, ~SueBee
Yellow Footed White Bird
During my recent train trip to Oceanside, I took a walk on the pier and became quite smitten with the varioius birds. They each had such personality, and seemed so friendly. This yellow footed white bird I found especially adorable, and photographed his walk up and down the pier railing. It’s nice seeing the birds aren’t […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Roy G. Biv
Our entry into this week’s Photo Challenge, Roy G. Biv, was taken at Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles. While I’d never before heard of the Roy G. Biv expression, the rainbow is what we’re presenting with these colorful costumes worn by lovely dancers. ~SueBee
Stepping Stones
Daily Foto Fix of stepping stones over a small creek was taken at Santiago Oaks Regional Park, here in Southern California. Note to our followers who may have noticed the diminished number of posts and photos recently… all due to “life gets in the way” syndrome. My elderly mom (97, nearing 98) has had some […]
On the Path Up Ahead

Ducks in a Row
Do you have your ducks in a row? If you’re not sure how, take a lesson from these three! (photos taken at the Huntington Library and Botanic Gardens in San Marino, California.) ~SueBee
Stairs or Path
This Daily Foto Fix was taken at Santiago Oaks Regional Park in Orange during a late afternoon hike recently, and as with several other photos I’ve taken, reminds me to my favorite poem by Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken. ~SueBee “…Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled […]
San Gabriel Mission District, 2
(20 photos in gallery) Continuing from my previous post featuring the San Gabriel Mission District, the photos in this gallery further explore the exterior of the Mission. It was evening and visiting hours were over, so I was only able to see the grounds through the gates. It was interesting enough that I look forward […]
Prickly Seedpod
This dried seedpod, covered in sharp thorns, is ready to launch a seed on feathered wings. I took this shot during a recent walk at Santiago Oaks Regional Park in northern Orange County, Southern California. ~SueBee
