Tag Archives: Corona del Mar

Hello 2016!

A new dawn, a new day, as they say! After what seems an eternity, and yet in reality just over a month, I’m back in blogging action. The Worst Move of All Time is completed!! I’m proud (and exhausted) to state the majority of boxes are unpacked, window treatments and pictures are hung, rooms are […]

Midweek Medicine

During stressful times, the remedy I often seek is a quick visit to the shore. When that’s not possible, gazing at a photo is the next best thing. This beautiful outlook onto the Pacific Ocean is from the end of Poppy Street in Corona Del Mar. Happy Wednesday, halfway to the weekend! ~SueBee

Up Close and Personal with the Beach

A gallery of close-ups (or zooms) from Corona Del Mar and Oceanside beaches, taken during my recent visits. I particularly like the first one as it appears the sand was painted. Do you have a favorite among these shots? ~SueBee

Creature from the Black Lagoon?

I often find scenes that amuse me during my photography outings, this one taken at Corona Del Mar being one of them. The “Creature from the Black Lagoon” (reference to a 1954 very low-budget Action/Adventure film), has come ashore, and people on the beach haven’t even noticed! The dog doesn’t seem to sense the danger either! […]

Time to Mow the Lawn

Pigeon Irony

This scene at Corona Del Mar had me laughing. All the spikes and gadgets to keep pigeons off the roof of this very expensive, seaside home, and yet…. ! 😀 ~SueBee

Much Ado at Sea

This photo perplexes me nearly as much as the pond reflection from a few days ago. I took it Sunday afternoon while wandering along the beach at Corona Del Mar, after my family’s wonderful Mother’s Day festivities had concluded, using my Nikon long lens (55/300). I can’t figure how so many things can be going on in one small spot […]

SueBee as Tour Guide

My niece and her 5 year old son are visiting America for the first time, coming from a very small farm village in Northern Germany. They first stayed with friends in Alamogordo, New Mexico, for two weeks, then flew to LAX where my oldest daughter, Angelika, picked them up. They stayed with her for a few days, then […]

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 […]

“Paint this View… the Art Lesson”

As I wandered along the clifftop pathway, above one of my favorite Pacific Ocean hideaways, I grew fascinated, watching these art students gathered around their teacher. I’d personally taken up the brush just over a year ago, having my first go at painting, using acrylics and an inexpensive, small canvas I’d bought at a local […]

“Pacific Ocean Gold”

California, nicknamed The Golden State, could have been named for this golden sun, soon to be sliding gracefully into the Pacific Ocean. Today’s “Foto Fix” was taken off the coast of Corona Del Mar, from one of my favorite clifftop outlooks, and just down the street from my favorite tavern. By the way, that’s Catalina […]

The Roadside Inn

Damp, blustery, overcast all day, in a lingering sort of way… Fall chancing a visit as old friends do, inviting me to pause and chat awhile, and maybe snuggle up for a brief stay, at the roadside inn down by the bay. ~SueBee Photo taken at my favorite pub, the Side Door in Corona del Mar

Floral Paradise in OC

I recently stumbled upon this glorious gem of a garden, SLG on PCH in CDM. If those acronyms are throwing you for a loop, I’ll translate: Sherman Library and Gardens on Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. As described on their website “The Sherman Library & Gardens is a 2.2 acre horticultural retreat. The Gardens […]
