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 […]
Necktie Lady
A re-use, re-purpose artist from the recent Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles, shows one can never have too many neckties! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
Mama!
Happy Mother’s Day! This photo shows a wayward baby goat who’d somehow managed to get out of the fenced-in petting zoo at Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen, and was receiving advice from his mother on how to get back in. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move
This grouping of photos is titled Kids on the Move, reflecting the joy of childhood, and is our entry into this week’s photo challenge, On the Move. These kids were having a blast pushing each other in their wagon at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia while waiting for the Pasadena Pops concert of MGM […]
Pier Artist
Talent abounds everywhere. This shot of an artist at work was taken on Santa Monica Pier. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
Abstract Glow
While touring the L.A. Brewery Art Walk for the first time, I came across an exhibit that completely left me in awe. The artist loft was filled with giant glowing creatures made of fiber optics, lightbulbs, fabric, and wire. Was definitely inspiring, and I am very much tempted to try and create something similar. Yay […]
Introducing our new page: Places
Hoping to make our blog more informative, we’ve added a new page called Places. It’s a work in progress of Places We’ve Been and Recommend, taken directly from our blog posts, by month. We hope you’ll find it a useful reference whether you’re a Southern California visitor, or resident. September 2013 is up, and all other months will be added […]
Cooling off at Balboa Island
I made the traffic-free 25 minute drive to Balboa Island late yesterday afternoon; the beach was calling me! I parked at a shopping center on Bayside Drive at Jamboree, and walked over the bridge onto the island. I always find that’s the best solution to the crowds and lack of parking spots on the island […]
Seaside Tracks
It’s been in the 90’s here in Southern California this past week, ridiculously hot for April/May, which prompts me to search for pictures of the ocean. This shot of Calafia Beach, taken in early April, seems perfect for cooling down. It also brought back memories of a favorite song, beautifully performed by Peter, Paul, and […]
Defiant Gull
A simple display of defiance is the subject of today’s Foto Fix, with a seagull demonstrating that keep off spikes attached to the sculpture were not intended for him! That he’s perched on the flying fish adds just a bit of irony as well. This photo was taken on the pier at Santa Monica Beach, near […]
Upswept Braids
Chic, with her upswept braids, print ribbons complimenting the painting on the wall. Its eyes upon her, captivated by her. Furtive glances from the doorway… nearly go unnoticed, art encapsulated. A fleeting moment now dedicated, and elegantly punctuated by the diamond on her ear. ~SueBee Photo captured in a split-second as I was exiting an artist loft at the […]
Eat Here! San Antonio Winery
(11 photos) It seems a dining recommendation is long overdue. While downtown Los Angeles at the Brewery Artwalk this past weekend, Kat and I visited the San Antonio Winery, two streets over from the Brewery. Not only do they offer free wine tastings (I’m certain they’re the ONLY winery still offering that wonderful service), but […]
