SueBee and Kat

Tomorrow, September 1, 2018, will be the five year anniversary of SueBee and Kat’s first blog post being published! Reflecting on the places we’ve gone (both Kat and I at the beginning, and in recent years, me, solo), and things we’ve seen over those years makes me glad we started this journey. While I haven’t […]

Sadly, this is the final Weekly Photo Challenge from WordPress, and with it, SueBee and Kat’s 130th entry. WordPress asked us to post a few of our All-Time Favorites. It would take me hours trying to determine which of thousands are my favorites, but I stumbled on the ones here. They were taken June 9, […]

This week WordPress asks us to tell a story with our pictures so I chose ones I took in downtown Los Angeles. This wonderfully friendly homeless man told me his story… of having been a fighter, a boxer. I must admit to cringing when he insisted on showing me his art form as he boxed […]

My entry into the Weekly Photo Challenge, A Face In The Crowd, was taken as people started lining up for the next show of the jazz band playing at Preservation Hall in New Orleans’ French Quarter. I later joined the line and was treated to the highlight of my trip. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band […]

Talk about taking the dog for a walk! Another eye-catching moment in New Orleans. Happy Fat Tuesday! ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in San Francisco’s Chinatown. I imagine this elderly woman has seen her share of goings on from this balcony… ~SueBee

My interpretation of this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge on the word Ambience has purposely veered off norm due to upcoming events in America this Friday, January 20, bringing fear, dismay, and anxiety. I took this photo while walking in downtown Los Angeles, the contrast a stark reminder of my fortune in life. ~SueBee Lonely Man Shall […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken on the Redondo Beach Pier this past Friday evening, as my oldest daughter, Angelika, and I enjoyed a short get-away vacation. While it seems everyone owning a smart phone has become a prolific photographer these days, taking pictures of anything and everything, this shot caught my attention. I never knew an […]

For this week’s Photo Challenge: Face, I chose a picture of my oldest daughter, Angelika, that I took in 2013 at Santa Cruz’s Beach Boardwalk. We had so much fun visiting that gorgeous area, several hours up California’s coast, and this picture brings it all back. Angelika’s playful personality shining through as she’s imitating “Laughing Sal” makes me smile. […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken by Kat two years ago and is being recycled for this post while I continue to get my blogging act back together! ~SueBee

From my home to yours, and from the gentleman in this photo, “wishing you Peace” for the Thanksgiving holidays… and on. Photo taken of a very friendly man in downtown Los Angeles, near Philippe’s the Original (French Dip sandwich restaurant, since 1908). Notice his vintage transistor radio!. ~SueBee

During my spontaneous journey around Los Angeles last weekend, on Halloween day, I managed to squeeze in a bit of people photography… Los Angeles is a very interesting place! ~SueBee

I tend to be a spontaneous person; I love the excitement and sense of adventure it brings. This past Friday night, I had dinner with Kat and her boyfriend, Cameron, at a favorite restaurant, Ruby’s, at the Orange train depot. Naturally, the next morning my mind was on trains. So, I looked up the Metrolink […]

Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach seemed as crowded with long lenses as birds Sunday, as this gallery can attest! It was a great day to be outdoors, and apparently, bird watching! ~SueBee

Kat and I were lucky to grab some time to explore together this past Saturday. Our schedules don’t match up that often anymore, so this was particularly special time. We headed to downtown Los Angeles, planning on first having breakfast at Grand Central Market and then visiting a museum or two. We ended up finding so much to see […]

Kids in costume, adults in costume, everyone parading, riding the horse-drawn hay wagon, trick or treating at the shops… lots of fun for participants and on-lookers alike yesterday afternoon, and on into the evening hours in our town of Orange, in Southern California. Happy Halloween to all, and that’s the end of October! ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Candid people-watching photos taken during my semi-annual visit to the Brewery Art Walk in downtown Los Angeles this past Saturday. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. Lady in the bright red hat, being guarded by her fierce dragon cane, caught my eye! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

(16 photos in gallery) This week’s Photo Challenge theme of Humanity, interpreted to mean selflessly caring for others, is one dear to the hearts of most of us, and yet truly acted upon by just some. And by those in varying degrees. While many go about their lives living for themselves, simply passing through each day, others spend those same days in […]

(18 photos in gallery) The city of Orange hosts an International Street Fair every Labor Day weekend, this past one being their 41st. I drove toward the town square Friday evening, and smartly chose to park a mile or so away and walk in, avoiding all the people endlessly circling for spots. The Street Fair goes on the […]
