Weekly Photo Challenge: Early Bird
A very large bird making an early morning approach to San Diego (California) International Airport is our entry into this week’s Photo Challenge, Early Bird. I wonder if the waiting passengers qualify as worms?! ~SueBee
Happy Friday!
Some (all) workweeks, you just really need it to be Friday (after which starts weekend). This picture is how I feel today. Happy, Happy Friday to you!! Photo taken at Korean Friendship Bell on the hill overlooking the harbor in San Pedro. ~SueBee
Touring the Wetlands, part 2
Continuing my tour of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach, this set of photos is less about the great variety of birds there, and more about other things that caught my eye. ~SueBee
Pier at Dusk
Today’s Foto Fix was taken on the Seal Beach Pier at dusk. I like the style of the lamps, color of the sky, and the sun reflecting on the windows of the oil platform to the left and ship to the right. ~SueBee
Touring the Wetlands, part 1
Please join me on a tour of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach. Part 1 today, part 2 tomorrow. ~SueBee
Weekly Photo Challenge: Afloat
This week’s Photo Challenge, Afloat, brought several images to mind, but I settled on this one. It’s a fisherman’s rag, left secured to the pier at Seal Beach, afloat on the evening’s brisk wind. ~SueBee
Into the Surf
The sky grows dark, the brisk breeze sharp, bikini clad for summer, friends close together, to conquer the surf, on their own turf. ~SueBeePhoto taken from the Seal Beach pier this past Sunday.
Shadow and Reflection
Capturing shadows is cool, capturing reflections equally cool, but, both in one shot, well, that’s super COOL!! This shot was taken at Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach this past Sunday. 🙂 ~SueBee
Red Lily
Spotted this lovely red what I think is a lily at Huntington Library and Gardens, and it seems like a great candidate for our Daily Foto Fix. ~SueBee
Long Lens Day
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
Happy Easter!
A lovely row of spring flowers for a lovely spring day! Photo taken at South Coast Botanical Garden. Happy Easter! ~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
