I took a drive to Wichita a few days ago, just for a change of scenery. I’d been wanting a walk through the Great Plains Nature Center, but hesitated in the heat of summer. Since I’d gotten down there while still morning, though, I decided on walking one of the main trails. It was beautiful. […]

I admire this beautiful tree each time I drive by. Although my son is convinced his backyard tree is the most perfect anywhere, I feel this one could stand well in second place! If ever that big empty lot is developed, I would hope this tree would be spared the wrecking ball. If not, I’d […]

…as far as the eye can see! This field of sunflowers along Highway 50 in Pleasantview, KS, caught my attention as they stood at attention. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in the tiny town of Inman (population in 2020 of 1,341), about 8 miles north of my home in Hutchinson, Kansas, and features a beautiful, recently painted mural. For further information on the process and artist, click here. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken somewhere on a back road as I made my way to Lindsborg, Kansas. I had eyes on me as I drove by! ~SueBee

Yesterday’s spontaneous adventure involved a drive to Quivera National Wildlife Refuge in central Kansas, about forty miles west from home. While I sort through the pictures I took there, I thought I’d share this idyllic farm scene that caught my eye as I explored dirt roads on my return home. You have no idea how […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken on a very late afternoon walk at the nearby Dillon Nature Center. The weather was brisk, drizzly, brrrrrrr, and I loved every minute of it as I made a quick walk around this gorgeous little lake. ~SueBee

I happened to stop along the way while exploring the central California coast, somewhere near Pismo Beach, and captured this stunning sunset. That trip will be one for my memory books for awhile as I’m in the process of packing for a big move to the middle of the country, far away from any oceans! […]

Returning from a recent visit to the Central California coast area, I drove south on Highway 1 from Pismo Beach and through the quaint town of Guadalupe. While less than ten miles of farmland separates it from the busy 101 Freeway, Guadalupe feels a world away. There were several art installations I noticed as I […]

Today’s Foto Fix is a shot I captured while on the pier at Avila Beach on the central California coast. I took a few days vacation in that area to celebrate circling the sun another year, having hit the 68 mark. More pictures from my trip to come once I’ve gone through them. ~SueBee

This photo was taken from inside the car with Aranka and George during our recent Road Trip in Nevada, Utah and Arizona. We didn’t attempt to get a reservation for the shuttle bus as none of us felt like joining crowds of people in a confined space, so we took a drive on the main […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken overlooking the Pacific Ocean somewhere south of Carlsbad, California. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix shows some very expensive homes optimistically clinging to the edge of land at Corona Del Mar in Southern California. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix is from April, 2014, when I took my mom to see the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California. We had a wonderful time, surrounded by endless rows of color, scents of springtime in the air. ~SueBee

I spent the past week visiting my son and son-in-law in Kansas, my first time seeing them since they moved there a year ago, and my first time in Kansas. Being fully vaccinated now, I was finally able to get on an airplane. We had a really nice time together; it felt so normal! I […]

I took this picture with my iPhone a few days ago at Aliso Beach (yes, included in my parking pass) in south Orange County, California. It was quite a sight! ~SueBee

Today I have guest pictures from my friend of many decades, Aranka, who lives in Pahrump, Nevada. The first picture was taken out her breakfast room window, the other two as she and her husband, George, drove to Las Vegas. The pictures are beautiful, but also quite a stand-out when you factor in where they […]

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at the California Botanic Garden in Claremont during my recent visit, and features a pretty, heart-shaped cactus. ~SueBee

I made my annual journey to Newport Beach Peninsula this morning to write digits in the sand, and yes, to get wet, as a wave reminded me who’s boss of the beach. I found that completely appropriate, and it made me laugh! My new grandson was the bright spot of 2020; the rest of it […]

It’s not midnight yet here in Southern California, but I wanted to share a greeting that I believe most of us are glad to shout from the rooftops! Good riddance to 2020 and let’s welcome in a bright, happy, healthy, wonderful 2021!! I took this picture a few years ago at the Riviera Hotel in […]
