Spring isn’t Spring without a visit to the ever-beautiful Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge! ~SueBee

I’m sharing additional pictures from my recent morning at the ever-beautiful Descanso Gardens. I’ve found over the past endless months of Covid seclusion that my mental health has been best served by visits to the various gardens in Southern California. There’s nothing quite like being outdoors. ~SueBee

A spontaneous visit to Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge resulted in the beautiful scenes included in this post. The number of visitors are being limited, advance reservations must be made by all non-members, and face masks are required. I was lucky to get a same-day, early morning spot, took a surprisingly pleasant drive up […]

With all that’s going on in the world, I felt these pictures, taken awhile back while visiting Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, would be appropriate.  I did a bit of editing while sitting on Hope Rock, adding “in spite of” with bits of twigs. Take care, stay healthy. ~SueBee

Photos feature the ever-beautiful Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge on an overcast day this past month. Growing up in the next town over, well before the separate cities of La Canada and Flintridge joined and incorporated, my mom took my brother and me there often. It looked and felt very much like our own […]

Monday morning is again upon us. By afternoon I’ll be ready to try Mr Duck’s napping abilities. I took this picture at Descanso Gardens yesterday. ~SueBee

(12 photos) I visited Descanso Gardens today, a beautiful spot near my home town of La Crescenta, about a dozen miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The weather couldn’t have been better, with visitors at a minimum. The plants looked tired and dusty but the camellias showed off their beauty regardless. I think they’re truly […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Descanso Gardens, in the city of La Canada Flintridge, home to dozens upon dozens of gorgeous camellia bushes. ~SueBee

It’s Monday, early morning, and I’m about to head out the door to work. What better way to cheer myself up than a burst of color? Enjoy your day as I’ll try to do with mine! ~SueBee

This week’s Photo Challenge asks us to interpret Graceful, so I chose this spider web that I spotted at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. While I’m not keen on spiders, I think their webs are quite beautiful and generally very graceful. ~SueBee

I’m restraining myself as much as humanly possible, withholding all matter of cuss words and other adjectives from this post, after our country made a fool of itself in yesterday’s presidential election. I feel this photo is appropriate for the situation many of us find ourselves in, pondering how this could have happened, fearful for the future. Might […]

With the far too much work that changing blog identity entails, I’ve decided to reboot SueBee and Kat and just change the tagline. SueBee and Kat, SueBee’s photography, handcrafts, and musings of the golden years. I’ll complete this post with two photos I took at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, and a haiku as accompaniment. ~SueBee […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Descanso Gardens and features fallen camellia blossoms someone laid out in a spiral. This photo seemed a good one for 2016 Earth Day! ~SueBee

Descanso Gardens is a photographer’s paradise in any season, but early in the year has always been my favorite. These pictures were taken two weeks ago during my spontaneous visit to the gardens in La Canada Flintridge, right next door to the city of La Crescenta where I spent a delightful childhood. Enjoy your weekend! […]

My favorite day of the workweek is here. Happy Friday! This picture was taken at Descanso Gardens. ~SueBee
