Vacation cottages from another era, a beautiful secluded beach, and the Pacific Ocean, seem like a great combo for today’s Foto Fix. Venturing out earlier this year with my new Nikon D5100, I used the miniature setting, not having a clue what I was doing, and captured this vintage-feel shot that I love. Luck or […]

Wild, like a Black Leather Jacket!
Muzeo in downtown Anaheim opened the coolest, and I do mean coolest, exhibit on Saturday, “Worn to be Wild – the Black Leather Jacket“. It continues until January 12, 2014. Per Muzeo’s website, “Harley-Davidson Museum in partnership with EMP Museum present a dynamic exhibit that traces the path of the leather motorcycle jacket from functional […]
“Dia de Los Muertos Bicyclist”
Returning home from another lovely get-away weekend in Palm Springs earlier today, I took a detour off the 60 to visit the Mission Inn (more about that gorgeous place in another post). Approaching on Mission Inn Avenue, I saw this skeletal bicyclist out front of the Riverside Art Museum. Not having enough time for a […]
“Look, Mommy, Look!”
Today’s Foto Fix was captured this past summer, late in the afternoon, at LACMA. Folks were grooving to the beat of a very popular jazz band, kids playing soccer on the grass, the sun was starting its approach into the Pacific Ocean, and I was wandering about. Then, I noticed this little girl, thoroughly captivated by her […]
“Buzzzzzzz….”
My auntie and I are photography buds…she taught me how to use my Nikon d5100. I went to the LA Arboretum with her to practice, and used her macro lens to catch today’s “Foto Fix.” Aren’t close-ups awesome?! They’re my favorite type of pics to take, especially when I have a macro lens to use […]
“What? You talkin’ to me??”
Africa? No, San Diego Zoo Safari Park! Situated just a bit north of San Diego and inland from Escondido, is our own African paradise. It’s spectacular, especially on a cooler day when the trails are easy to walk, and the animals are full of energy. The young gorilla in today’s Foto Fix was busily snacking away as […]
A Spectacular Taste of Art
As described in my previous post, I spent this past Sunday afternoon at the Brewery Art Walk in Lincoln Heights, just east of downtown Los Angeles. While exploring the buildings and lofts, I became overwhelmed by the sheer volume of art on display, and the passion that accompanied it. The expressive artists, sharing their home and […]
Brewery Art Walk – Exploring the Buildings
What could be more enticing than an art walk held in an old brewery? Historical buildings fascinate me, make my imagination run wild. It would be hyperbole (Kat’s favorite word) to call myself a history buff, but I do love old things. I grew up with old things. My parents collected antiques; my dad had […]
“Russian Dancer”
Every month on the first Sunday, the Bowers Museum, located in Santa Ana, allows free admission and hosts a cultural festival, sponsored by Target. Each event features arts & crafts, live music, dance performances, and food specific to the celebrated culture of the month. This “Daily Foto Fix” is from their June event, which celebrated […]
Eat Here?? Magic Restroom Cafe
While driving along the 60 towards L.A., I noticed an outdoor shopping center to my right (in the City of Industry). Craving a Thai Iced Tea and an Egg Custard Bun, I decided to explore the shopping center and see if my sweet cravings could be satisfied. I did find a delicious tea house and […]
“A Quiet Moment”
The gardens were nearly empty, the weather brisk, leaves having fallen off trees, but not yet swept away nor turned brown. Silence surrounded me, other than the occasional crunch crunch as I sought out leaves to step on. Approaching a small bridge leading over the creek, I paused. There sat this closely-nestled couple, the elderly […]
Crazy Rock Love Petroglyph
Really? Rock obsession, crazy love, yeah. Los Angeles was captivated last year by the journey of a 340 ton granite boulder, set to become the permanent (no doubt) exhibit Levitated Mass at LACMA. I wasn’t lucky enough to experience the journey, and rather guffawed at all the hype, until… I saw it in person, on […]
See You Again, Trabuco Canyon!
Map perusing, curiousity, insight from a friend, and a dinner date with mom led to a quick peek at Trabuco Canyon after work today. Facing an early sunset, there wasn’t much time to explore. I picked up mom, and made our first stop at Rancho Santa Margarita Lake, a man-made lake surrounded by large tract homes. We […]
“Sailing, Sailing, Sailing the Ocean Blue”
Good Morning from Southern California! It’s Friday, and a crisp autumn day is in store. My mind is rather like this boat at the moment, sailing along, ready for the weekend and new adventures. I hope you enjoy today’s Foto Fix, taken off the coast of Corona del Mar, and have a wonderful day! ~SueBee, […]
“Hidden Heart”
We’ve all had the joyful experience of spotting images in the clouds…”Hey, that one looks like a bunny, see the fluffy tail?!” When I’m on a photography outing, I find myself looking for noticeable shapes in different objects. One day, while on a relaxing, post-rain walk at the Fullerton Arboretum, thinking about my wonderful boyfriend, […]
“Oranges After the Rain”
Rain-moistened oranges seem appropriate for today’s foto fix, because…. it rained in SoCal today! Yes, it’s been awhile since water fell from the sky here. Everyone’s glad, particularly traffic reporters on the radio. Their jobs aren’t in jeopardy on days like this. Why? Because many in Southern California don’t know how to drive with wet […]
A Stroll Down Main Street on an October Afternoon
If you ever have an opportunity to visit Disneyland on your own, without the intention of getting on every ride…to just stroll along Main Street, and check out all the design details…do it! Right now, everything is gorgeously decorated for Fall; the park looks magnificent! With hundreds of uniquely hand-carved pumpkins (no two look alike!) […]
“A-maze-ing”
Are you as fascinated by this maze as me? I might as well be 10 years old when I visit, because I spend all my time daydreaming… “that I’m creeping over the fence, my little boat in hand, crawling along, flat to the ground so as not to be spotted, placing my little boat in […]
Lakeside at Echo Park, Fabulous!
Always taking a different route when driving around town, I meandered from my son’s apartment near L.A.’s Carthay Square yesterday afternoon, to meet a high school friend for dinner in Montrose. I drove eastbound on Beverly, veered onto Temple from Silver Lake Blvd, until turning left onto Glendale Blvd. That drive was itself totally fascinating, […]
“Broken Arm and Balloons”
This large wall art adorns a building in downtown Los Angeles. I was totally fascinated by it and wish I knew artist’s name. Pic by SueBee.
