These photos were taken on a recent visit to a favorite, very beautiful place, the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia. Naturally, our Southern California weather was in fine form that day! My apologies to our friends in the areas loaded with more snow than they know what to do with. ~SueBee

Evening at Segerstrom Theatre
I treated my oldest daughter, Angelika, to a stage show at the gorgeous Segerstrom Theatre in Costa Mesa last Thursday evening, for a performance of Dirty Dancing. That had always been one of her favorite movies. Before she arrived from work, I wandered around, using my iPhone to take the pictures in this gallery. The theatre is in […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry
Our entry into this week’s photo challenge theme of symmetry was taken this past Saturday when I took a spontaneous drive to Oak Glen in Riverside County. The cabin is part of the historical village at Riley’s Farm, a place visited by school children to learn about America’s past. ~SueBee
Eat Here! Orange Cafe
Nothing like breakfast out! Tried an adorable hole-in-the-wall cafe this morning called Orange Cafe in the city of Orange. Had the most delicious crab cake benedicts, home style potatoes, and fruit. Definitely recommend! ~Kat
Discarded Heart in the Sand
Here’s wishing a Happy Valentine’s Day to those with sweeties, and a wonderful regular day to the rest of us! This photo of a discarded heart in the sand was taken at Newport Beach near the pier. ~SueBee
Rat Pack Tribute at Lido
Last Friday after work, and after dinner at the Crab Cooker, I attended a concert at the Lido Theatre in Newport Beach. When it opened in 1938, the Lido was a movie theater. These days, it’s used for live concerts and occasional special showing movies. I arrived early and felt lucky to get a front row seat! On stage was a […]
Eat Here! The Crab Cooker
Our blog hasn’t featured a restaurant recommendation in ages, so it’s high time we do one again. This past Friday after work, and before the concert I would be attending, I treated myself to dinner at the Crab Cooker seafood restaurant in Newport Beach. My dad used to take our family there when I was a teenager, and I hadn’t been in […]

West Fork Trail and Palm Canyon
My inventory of photos from my two night get-away in Palm Springs at the end of December is nearly endless! The photos in this gallery were taken after I hiked Andreas Canyon and then headed toward the Reservation Trading Post, where I had hoped to explore West Fork Trail and Palm Canyon. I ended up venturing onto just the very […]
Family Fishing
Photo taken at the end of Newport Beach Pier this past Friday after work. I loved the expression of the little girl, looking up at her father as he fixed his fishing line.~SueBee
Newport Beach Pier as Subject
On the sand at sunset, photographing a rugged old pier jutting into a silky, pearlescent ocean… there were several of us with the same idea! These photos were taken at Newport Beach this past Friday after I was off work. ~SueBee
Today’s Sunset at Newport Beach
As I left the office today, worn out from a long workweek, I decided on a drive to Balboa Island, the opposite direction of my home in Orange. I crossed the bridge to the island, parked my little truck, walked to the ferry, hopped on, paid the $1.00 fee, rode over to Newport Beach Peninsula, and meandered down to the beach. The air […]
Near Olvera Street
I was downtown Los Angeles this past weekend for the swearing-in ceremony of California’s new Controller, Betty Yee, and snapped these photos in the area of Olvera Street, the oldest street in Los Angeles. ~SueBee
Lotus Line
Sleepy, rolled up, in denial, not ready to face the day, morning came far too soon, turn off that alarm, I’m going back to bed. (wishful thinking) ~SueBee
Visiting the World’s First Cactarium
An after-lunchtime visit to Moorten Botanical Garden was a nice break between hikes during my recent Palm Springs visit. Established in 1938, it’s a desert lover’s cactus feast. I found their World’s First Cactarium, pictured in this gallery, to be most fascinating, and I’m pleased to know I visited a world’s first! ~SueBee
Room to Express Myself
This week’s photo challenge theme of Express Yourself prompted me to write this post, and upload these photos. As I mentioned in an update to our “About Us” page, Kat moved into her own apartment with her boyfriend, Cam, just a little while back. She’d been gone during her four years of college, and most […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself
People express themselves by wearing pins, waving flags, displaying car bumper stickers and banners, chanting slogans. I gathered my things together for this photo challenge, and was surprised at how much stuff I have! More photos of this week’s challenge are here. ~SueBee
