PS, I Love Your Art!
As I mentioned in my previous post, Kat and I visited the Palm Springs Art Museum during a recent trip to PS. It was a fabulous find, a really gorgeous art museum. Below is just a sampling of photos taken there.
PS, I Love You!
Palm Springs is fabulous in the summer, and honestly, I can’t wait to go back again… in the fall, winter, spring! It was just a tad HOT when Kat and I took a one night getaway to PS recently. We heard the temp reached 117 during our visit. I’m guessing, though, once you get past 100, […]

SoCo, trendy in The OC
So, while the westside of Los Angeles is famous most everywhere, if not the world, for just about everything — from fashionistas flocking, stars clamoring for attention, moguls moguling, interior designers a la extraordinaire shopping, eateries indulging, luxury automobiles parading, paparazzi hovering — the OC is also famous, and for far more than its Laguna […]
Fall Season at Descanso Gardens
The wonderful season of Fall is officially (and finally) here! Pumpkin Spice Lattes, scarves & boots, leaves changing colors, and of course, Harvest decorations! Descanso Gardens (located in La Canada Flintridge) is my all time favorite botanical garden, especially during this time of year when pumpkins and haystacks are scattered throughout…perfect place for some Fall-themed […]

Quirky Buildings
Trying to imagine the architect’s sense of humor when designing some of the odd buildings throughout our area makes me laugh. I visualize his or her facial expression while showing off the drafts to their customers. Is the customer smiling, choking, rolling on the floor laughing? Is it a joke? Promotion gag? Marketing ploy? How […]

Korean Friendship Bell
A drive along the coast, all the way from Newport Beach to Marina del Rey awhile back, led me to the Korean Friendship Bell. If you haven’t driven the Palos Verdes Peninsula or through the harbor area at Long Beach over to San Pedro, you’ve missed a fascinating area. While the Queen Mary may be […]
Art of the Huntington Library
The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, is not only a botanical garden, but also home to a very large and prestigious art collection. The collection resides in two buildings on the estate: The Huntington Art Gallery, and the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art. With pieces ranging from Andy Warhol contemporary, to Charles […]
Eat Here! Chao Krung Thai Restaurant
Located on Fairfax Ave. right near The Grove in Los Angeles, this hidden treasure is absolutely delicious! If you’re a fan of Thai food, Chao Krung honestly has some of the best I’ve had yet! Shrimp pad thai…green and red curry…snappy green beans with tofu…the flavor is fantastic and the spice is just right! They […]
Noguchi in SoCal
Obscure to most, myself included, and nestled among random office towers in The OC, is an interesting little sculpture garden. Kat and I veered off an after-the-rain trip to the beach earlier this year to check this place out. I’d read about it somewhere online; I’m not sure where or I’d offer up the credit. […]
“Wide Eyed Statue”
I liked the light reflections on the wall which I felt really connected with his wide-eyed gaze. Taken at LACMA. Pic by SueBee

The Fullerton Arboretum, located near Cal State Fullerton, is a donation-only garden with a collection of over 4,000 different plants, lakes, and a Heritage House (tours are available Saturdays and […]
