Summertime = County Fair Time. Today’s Foto Fix was taken three years ago while at the Orange County Fair. It’s Friday everyone, enjoy your day. I surely will because after work, I’m going to the Fair! ~SueBee

(9 photos) If you’ve been following my last couple blog posts, you’ll notice I spent a fabulous birthday on Catalina this past Friday. The photos in this gallery give a taste of the spectacular weather and vibrant island life Kat and I experienced. We hiked, kayaked, ate, and drank so that by the time our […]

(12 Photos) When Kat and I arrived at Catalina Island this past Friday, our first order of business was breakfast. Directly thereafter, we caught the city bus for a ride up the hill to the Wrigley Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum. We were pleasantly surprised to discover a birthday freebie, my admission was comped. We wandered […]

(14 photos) For the past four years I’ve made a tradition of visiting Southern California’s Catalina Island on my birthday. The reason behind this is a special deal from Catalina Express, one of the boat companies running trips between the mainland and the island, offering free passage to folks on their birthday when accompanied by […]

(5 photos) I have a second entry into this week’s Photo Challenge of something Unusual. While visiting Southern California’s seaside town of Carlsbad with my mom, I was fascinated by this guy paddling a surfboard with a fishing pole on his back and what looked like regular clothing. As he paddled into shore and got […]

This week’s Photo Challenge is Unusual, or at least we’re to show a picture of something we find unusual. I’m submitting a picture I took while out with my mom on a Sunday afternoon drive through the seaside town of Carlsbad a couple years ago. We both did double-takes when seeing this man leading his […]

Happy Friday, everyone! Today’s Foto Fix features a wall mural I spotted while wandering down Seal Beach’s Main Street the other evening. ~SueBee

I’m entering the Weekly Photo Challenge, Collage, with a picture I took at the Brewery Artwalk in downtown Los Angeles. The numbered sock draped over the top really sets it off, don’t you think? ~SueBee

This wine glass, or the work week, half done or not? I’ll look to the bright side of the work week and say it’s nearly half done. For the wine, well, the glass is still half full and at the time I was relaxed, enjoying myself. This photo was taken at Oak Glen outside of […]

I’m submitting the photo I took of one of the world’s most famous bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge. My son, his fiance and I visited San Francisco in late 2015 and walked over the bridge. Let me tell you, that was a long walk! ~SueBee 

Leave a coin, make a wish… today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino, California. My previous visits, I never noticed the coins left at this statue. I’m not sure the history or reason, but hey, if we can wish upon a star, why not a stone mushroom!?! ~SueBee

Two beautiful blooms smiling for my camera at San Juan Capistrano during my recent visit. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken from the train while riding to Oceanside a while back. It was fairly early morning, chilly, breezy… the perfect time at the beach! ~SueBee

(25 photos) Exiting the train this past Sunday from my spontaneous ride to San Juan Capistrano, I was surprised to find a tiny row of shops and restaurants running directly along the train tracks. Turns out the area holds many of the town’s original buildings from the days before California was part of the United […]

I’m interpreting the Weekly Photo Challenge of Transient as “here today, gone tomorrow”, and showing a couple pics I took from the train yesterday. I hopped on in Orange, where I live, and off at San Juan Capistrano, south of me. Seeing the field of crops surrounded by new buildings and construction equipment, well, it […]

(8 photos) The pictures in this gallery were taken at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve , in Huntington Beach, during a recent drive up Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach to Seal Beach, where I stopped for dinner. The noise level was intense from all the birds, circling off in the distance. It was so cool […]

Foto Fix taken at Huntington Library of a curious squirrel come to say Hello! ~SueBee

With weather temps predicted in the hot range here in Southern California today, I felt a big of coolness would be welcome. This picture was taken at a favorite spot, the quaint town of Cambria on California’s central coast. ~SueBee

I realized yesterday while starting a few projects in my craft room that I hadn’t been to Oak Glen for some time, so I put aside the projects and hopped in my little truck. The 1 and a 1/4 hour drive was pleasant. I went straight away to a favorite spot, Snow Line, for coffee […]

(8 photos) Some beautiful garden color thanks to the Huntington Library and Gardens! Enjoy your Sunday. ~SueBee
