No, this photo wasn’t rotated. Yes, he’s climbing a rock wall upside down. No, I don’t know how he’s hanging there! Although just after this picture was taken, gravity did finally exert its force beyond this man’s strength and skill. I’m dedicating this photo to Kat who’s just recently taken up this very industrious hobby, […]

Dried Flowers
Took this picture at Stanley Ranch in Garden Grove prior to a tour of the Walt Disney Garage Studio. While waiting for the tour to start, I explored and snapped several pictures in a historic barn house. I loved these dried flowers they had hanging from the ceiling. The bright colors with the wood […]
Photography at the San Diego Zoo
My boyfriend Cam and I visited the San Diego Zoo again recently, and ended up buying an annual membership! What’s awesome about the membership, is we’re given access to both the Zoo and the Safari Park in Escondido anytime, all year round! This time around, we visited specifically to see the Koalas and Pandas that […]

This week’s challenge is fun! Being out ‘n about so often, we’ve captured numerous split second stories, resulting in more than one entry to the challenge. This particular photo, in spite of shooting into the sun and having the photo really washed out, makes me laugh. The guy’s on the right are in rapt attention to […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Split Second Story
Our entry into this week’s challenge, Split Second Story, shows the moment before a new street sign was lifted and bolted into place, making a left or U-turn illegal at 6th Street in downtown Los Angeles. A person driving the area regularly may be caught unaware by this new sign posting, particularly if said person missed […]
Springtime at Oak Glen, part 3
(19 photos) As you may have noticed in Part 1 or Part 2, Oak Glen is a must-visit kind of place during the springtime. Particularly if you’re a Southern California resident who has grown weary of freeway gridlock, tract housing, crowds, and the heat! While the temperature wasn’t really any cooler than at home, being […]

Springtime at Oak Glen, part 1
My visit to Oak Glen, up the mountainside from Yucaipa in Southern California, this past Monday (a national holiday so I had the day off work), was prompted by a desire to see the area in springtime. I headed directly to my favorite place, the Wildland’s Conservancy nature trails at Los Rios Rancho. I shouldn’t […]
Critters in Oak Glen
I spontaneously took a drive to Oak Glen, up the mountainside from Yucaipa today. Having been there for the first time last fall when the trees were red and orange, I was curious what springtime would be like. Well, it was gorgeous! Green, lush, baby apples on the trees, birds and insects in abundance. As […]
HOPE
Today being Memorial Day in the United States, a day to honor our troops from past and present, I chose this photo of “HOPE” taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. Interpretation is personal as well as universal. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Twist
Our entry into this week’s Photo Challenge was taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles just a few weeks ago, and is accompanied by a poem: Love’s twist Young woman at dawn, sunshine peeking at the corner, awakening. hazy, lazy. Stretching off slumber, gradually opening her eyes…. Gazing up, seeing her lover, distinctive, twisted locks, […]
Peacock in Flight
Sunday was a busy out ‘n about day for Kat and me. From a classic car show in Fullerton, to a dim sum restaurant for lunch, followed by the Arboretum in Arcadia, and ending up at our favorite North Woods restaurant for their famous salads and cheesy bread, we covered the town. Today’s Foto Fix is […]
Cooling off at Sherman Gardens, part 2
(13 photos) If you’re in the mood for colorful flowers and cool ocean breezes, then you need to visit Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar! It’s the perfect getaway from hectic daily life. I was there this past Saturday, as I mentioned in a previous article, and felt so relaxed upon leaving. Check out their website […]
By the Tidepools
Today’s Foto Fix was taken Saturday, looking up the beach at one of my favorite spots in Corona del Mar. I first “discovered” this little gem in the mid 1970’s while living on the north side of Los Angeles, near Glendale, and working for a company that had a branch I visited nearby. It was quite […]
Cooling off at Sherman Gardens, part 1
Absolutely worn out from the triple digit temperatures and smoke in the air from numerous recent horrible fires in San Diego County, just south of us, I was drawn to the coast yesterday afternoon, and Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar. It was the perfect decision. I felt the cool ocean breeze as […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art
I took a literal interpretation for this week’s photo challenge with a grouping I’m titling Art of Work. I watched these artists demonstrating their craft during the recent Los Angeles Times Book Fair held at USC (University of Southern California). I was both fascinated and envious. I spent many years as a working artist, designing intricate celtic […]
Reflection Collection, L.A.
(8 photos) Wherever I go, I seek out cool reflections. Light playing on objects and recreating an image is something I find fascinating. While in downtown Los Angeles recently, I captured the ones in this gallery. Personal favorites are the musician playing at USC, wearing those fabulous retro shades (throw-back to my era!), and the bicycle […]
Peaceful Garden
Serenity at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. A very refreshing scene which may help to overcome the unbearable heat wave our area is experiencing. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
“Rusted”
I spotted this bottle cap while exploring some of the artists’ lofts at the L.A. Brewery Art Walk. I love the splatter of paint and the rust, along with the copper color tone in the background. The combination provides for an artsy looking shot that sums up many of the incredible art pieces I saw […]
