Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach seemed as crowded with long lenses as birds Sunday, as this gallery can attest! It was a great day to be outdoors, and apparently, bird watching! ~SueBee

Gallery 2 Added!
The trouble with being ‘out and about’ taking photos so often, is that general blog maintenance lags. I therefore dedicated some time this evening to building another gallery page, furthering our collection of Daily Foto Fix pictures. The page is not complete, my eyes grew tired and I gave up, but I feel quite accomplished regardless! If interested, you can now visit Gallery 2, as well […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Ephemeral
Entering this week’s photo challenge, Ephemeral, I thought of California’s drought, and how this tiny creek would soon be dried up. The photo was taken in Andreas Canyon, Palm Springs. ~SueBee
Moonscape
I took the original photo in Long Beach this past Sunday, and edited it three ways just for fun. The original was very pale and overexposed, partly due to shooting into the sun, and more likely, from using the wrong setting. But, something about the original shot reminded me of a science fiction or outer space scene, particularly due to the […]
Yesterday at Long Beach
After enjoying lunch at a Long Beach restaurant with my oldest daughter, Angelika, and friends yesterday, I headed over to the coast and walked along toward the color-filled sky. This is what I spotted once close enough for photos, an entire group of parasailers. It was late afternoon by then, and they were just starting to pack up their […]
Andreas Canyon Reminisce
When necessities of life seem to take over and become all-consuming, I grab a few moments, wander through my photos, and lead my mind to places of relaxation. This morning’s reflection is from my end-of-2014 mini vacation to Palm Springs, and a glorious early morning hike in Andreas Canyon. Happy Sunday! ~SueBee
Oldies Car Show
Some detail photos from the vintage car show held Friday nights in downtown Garden Grove, Orange County. Certainly a great opportunity for some fun shots! ~SueBee
Lovely Vantage Point
Today’s Foto Fix is of the Lake Hollywood Reservoir in foreground with view of buildings running along Wilshire Boulevard in the background. I took this shot from along the road to the famous Hollywood sign. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh
Swinging off in a new direction, I’m interpreting this week’s Photo Challenge, Fresh, with the fresh paint I applied during a recent learn-to-paint-while-drinking-wine class! While I’ve managed to create a few acrylic paintings in recent years, this was my first time teaming the process with wine. I liked it! It was fun! ~SueBee
Spring is Sprung
Happy first day of Spring, everyone! The photos in this gallery were taken at the Fullerton Arboretum, and seem the perfect fit for the day. While those of us living in Southern California haven’t been under snow or had many cold days, we do enjoy the colorful flowers and greenery of the new season. Knowing the brilliant green will […]
In the Country
A few shots from a recent drive up the mountain to Oak Glen in Riverside County, near Yucaipa. The atmosphere is definitely country, and I was particularly excited to get the red barn picture! ~SueBee
Camellias and Reflection

Near Carthay Square, 2
Driving around the city is always interesting, with so much to see. The shots in this gallery were taken on the Westside of Los Angeles, near the Carthay Square area. ~SueBee
Conversing with the Flowers, part 2
A few more flowers I had lovely conversations with recently at the Fullerton Arboretum. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day! 🙂 ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall
For this week’s photo challenge, Wall, my thoughts drifted through a vast inventory of appropriate photos. From graffiti covered walls in Los Angeles and Hollywood, to the walls of fabric in downtown LA’s Fabric District. I ended up choosing these living walls. The first photo is of a plant covered wall at Olvera Street’s Old Plaza Church in Los Angeles. […]
Old Man Fig of Orange
Ever since moving to the city of Orange last year, I found myself fascinated by this enormous tree whenever I’d drive past. While out with Kat this past Sunday, we stopped so I could take some pictures. Kat’s posing near the roots so you can get an idea of the size.I was thrilled to see the […]
It’s Nearly Springtime
Wandering around at the Fullerton Arboretum this past Sunday afternoon, it seemed like spring was already here. While we don’t get the shocking contrast of cold winters, we do get the brown, dried-out land that comes with years of drought. Seeing spring’s green is so refreshing. It’s great having a place like the Arboretum within 20 minutes […]
Conversing with the Flowers, part 1
It was too nice of a day to stay inside, so I took a quick drive to the Fullerton Arboretum on Sunday. It might as well be springtime! The flowers and I had lovely conversations. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Orange
This week’s challenge “Orange you glad it’s photo challenge time” is too easy! Heck, I live in the city of Orange, in Orange County, California!! While the orchards of orange trees have given way to “progress”, there are still a few remaining here and there. At this time of year, they smell heavenly… there’s nothing quite […]
