Walking in downtown L.A. last Saturday, I veered off Broadway to Hill, and into Pershing Square where I met this gentleman, a gentle man. I offered him the coffee I’d bought but decided I didn’t want because it’s impossible to walk and take pictures while holding a cup, and the pictures were more important to me. I […]

Taking a Stroll Around the Lake
Nothing like discovering new hiking trails, especially when they’re only 5 miles from home 🙂 Cam and I explored and took pictures at Laguna Lake in Fullerton. The length of the hike was just right, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the scenery was very pretty. And for perfect timing, an Equestrian competition was […]
Smile for the Camera!
Descanso Gardens in the springtime, with camelia’s and azalia’s in full bloom, is a floral paparazzi paradise! I captured the closeups in this gallery during my visit a few weeks back, during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I’d never seen so many cameras pointed at flowers in my life. The flowers must have been exhausted by […]
At the Car Show
Today’s Foto Fix is of Kat at a vintage car show in the city of Orange yesterday. I dare not write anything remotely comparing her hair color to the car on the right, but when I saw her bending down to get a shot of the orange reflecting on the black, and then noticed her […]
On Broadway, part 1 (22 photos)
Met up with a street photography group yesterday morning in downtown Los Angeles. That was a first for me, as majority of my photography expeditions are solo, or occasionally with Kat. There must have been 20 people gathered at the prescribed meeting point, but I branched off with one other woman instead, and we headed out. For […]
The Flower Fields
I took my mom to The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, northern San Diego County, this past weekend. The weather was perfection: clear, sunny, warm. The colors were brilliant in the bright sunshine. Click on any photo to open the gallery. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)
Picked and Packed
Bunches of brilliant orange ranunculus, freshly clipped from the fields, wrapped in cellophane, and ready for the sales booth are the feature of today’s Foto Fix. This shot was captured at The Flower Fields in Carlsbad this past Saturday. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)
It all Started in a Garage…
While visiting the Heritage Museum in Santa Ana, I overheard the tour guide talking about Walt Disney’s original garage studio, located in Garden Grove, being open for tours that day. As quite the Disney fan, I couldn’t resist! And talk about lucky timing…tours are only offered the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month! So, […]
Things I Saw April 5 2014 (14 unique photos)
I took my mom on a drive south along the coast yesterday, ending up in Carlsbad at The Flower Fields. The weather was fantastic, quintessential Southern California all the way! Below are a few sights from the day. Did I ever mention that I love the variety this part of the world has to offer?!! Here […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold
Threshold of a wipeout, at Carlsbad Beach. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) This week’s photo challenge asks: “A threshold is a point of entering; that point just before a new beginning — that split-second moment in time, full of anticipation.”
Nature Inspired Art
Bringing the outdoors in with art is a fabulous idea. The Sturt Haaga Gallery at Descanso Gardens hosted Portraits of the Gardens recently, featuring works inspired by the gardens. I visited Descanso just two weeks ago for the Cherry Blossom Festival, after touring Travel Town, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Such talented artists exhibiting; I’m in awe! The artwork is inspiring, […]
“Contrast”
Springtime photography outing at the Arboretum…love the fuscia and green contrasting colors 🙂 ~Kat (pic by Kat)
Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life (2)
Recycling a few photos from earlier articles showing Southern California’s Street Life. ~SueBee (pics by both Kat and SueBee) “For this challenge, document the movement (or stillness) of a street: tell a story with your snapshot, capture a scene that reveals a bit about a place, or simply show us where you live — or a path […]

Girl with Long Lens
Photography in public gardens brings out every size and form of camera equipment. I was fascinated watching this girl focus on the nearby rose with her mighty zoom lens. I wish I could see the end result! Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge during the Cherry Blossom Festival a week ago. […]
Eat This Sushi?!
Sushi is incredibly popular in Southern California. I personally know few people who won’t try it, or don’t love it. But, after visiting the premier of Huell Howser California’s Gold exhibit at Chapman University in Orange yesterday, I have to admit the sushi pictured in the gallery below is some I won’t try! Because it’s made of dryer lint! […]
Cherry Blossoms
I drove to Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge for the Cherry Blossom Festival last Sunday, after visiting Travel Town in Griffith Park (article 1, article 2). In all my years of Descanso visits (more than I can recall, having grown up in nearby La Crescenta), I’d never seen so many people waiting to get […]
Travel Town, part 2
All Aboard! It’s time to see the trains, tenderly put out to pasture at Travel Town in Griffith Park. Last Sunday, I spent a few hours wandering around there. My previous article showcased the vehicles on display, while this one features many of the trains. It’s a fun place to visit for all ages; entry and […]
