I’m planning another book for this week’s challenge, Cover Art, and will be using this photo as the cover. It’ll be a collection of my poetry, short stories and photos, with a bit of retrospect, a touch of reminiscing, an abundance of humor. It’s based on my life’s journey, as adapted from my favorite lines of my favorite poem, The Road […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Cover Art
The cover of my new book “It Was Current Just Yesterday- but has since been filed away” is submitted for this week’s photo challenge, Cover Art. This photo was taken today in the University of Southern California’s Doheny Memorial Library while I was visiting the Los Angeles Archives Bizarre being held there. The card catalog is living proof of […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Refraction
This photo, taken of a friend’s daughter at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, demonstrates something very bizarre, and not being a science specialist, I’ll consider it as an entry to last week’s Photo Challenge theme of Refraction. The little girl is walking on the other side of a large fish tank, with a photo on […]
Palm Springs by Foot and Car
My visit to Palm Springs last weekend was, as I mentioned, for charity events. A group of us, including my son and Kat, walked early Saturday morning under clear, sunny skies, raising money to fight AIDS. The Desert AIDS Walk was very successful, raising over $300,000! The 90 degree heat didn’t seem so bad, considering we […]
Palm Springs Riviera By Day
Yesterday’s article captured the magic of the Palm Springs Riviera at night, but I also managed to catch a few shots during daylight hours. Most were taken while waiting for my carpool ride (aka, my son) to pick me up on Sunday. The giant television screen over the lobby bar captured my camera’s attention with its revolving array of vintage, artsy […]
Palm Springs Riviera By Night
I drove out to Palm Springs Friday after work, carpooling with my son, for a Saturday packed with charity events. He dropped me off at the Riviera, where I’d been lucky to get a reservation two months ago. My son was staying with friends who own a weekend home there. Hotel rooms are in demand as the desert’s autumn/winter high season […]
Rise of the Jack O’Lantern
Yesterday, after a long day at work, Kat and I jumped in my little truck and zipped onto the freeway… where we patiently sat in traffic for well over an hour until finally stopping for dinner. We then continued on to our destination in La Canada Flintridge, Descanso Gardens. A few weeks back, I’d purchased tickets for the […]

Hot Afternoon, Cool Garden Paths
Ever hopeful that our Southern California heat-spell, our never-ending summer, will finally turn to autumn, I’m posting these garden photos as inspiration for cooler days. They were taken at the beautiful Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy
Following a fun week of being tour guide to visiting relatives from Germany, I’m feeling rather dreamy. Therefore this week’s photo challenge hits the right note with me! My entry for the challenge was taken from the 16th floor window of a San Diego hotel room during my visit there a few weeks back. The morning haze was thinning, […]
SueBee as Tour Guide
My niece and her 5 year old son are visiting America for the first time, coming from a very small farm village in Northern Germany. They first stayed with friends in Alamogordo, New Mexico, for two weeks, then flew to LAX where my oldest daughter, Angelika, picked them up. They stayed with her for a few days, then […]
Ocean Eye
While visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach this past Sunday with relatives from Germany, I took this picture of some sort of small fish. I didn’t edit the picture at all, other than a tiny bit of color saturation. For the life of me, I can’t figure out the fish’s eye in the photo. To me it looks like […]
Southern California’s Wine Country
Taking a drive to Riverside County’s Temecula is a visit to wine country, Southern California style. It’s not as grown up as the wine regions above San Francisco, or north of Santa Barbara, or the Paso Robles area, but it’s getting there! The vines are maturing, the wineries building and expanding, the brown earth gradually […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs
For this week’s Photo Challenge theme of Signs, we simply had to choose this photo of a world famous sign, HOLLYWOOD! (Photo by Kat)

Guardian Dragon
Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. Lady in the bright red hat, being guarded by her fierce dragon cane, caught my eye! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
I Shrank San Diego
Having a hotel room on the 16th floor, along with the miniature setting on my Nikon d5100, assisted in my shrinking of San Diego! 🙂 ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)
Bolsa Chica Wetlands
Peaceful, cool, Bolsa Chica Wetlands, just a wee bit up the coast from Huntington Beach pier, brings a wonderful place for bird watching, or a bit of quiet time. SueBee (photos by SueBee) From their website, “The Bolsa Chica includes over 1400 acres of undeveloped wetlands, lowlands and lower mesa. This area is rich with history […]
On the West Side, part 2
Continuing from yesterday’s post, the photos in this gallery were taken by Kat, as I drove, and we explored parts of West Los Angeles. ~SueBee (photos by Kat)
