Our entry into this week’s challenge, Split Second Story, shows the moment before a new street sign was lifted and bolted into place, making a left or U-turn illegal at 6th Street in downtown Los Angeles. A person driving the area regularly may be caught unaware by this new sign posting, particularly if said person missed […]

Today being Memorial Day in the United States, a day to honor our troops from past and present, I chose this photo of “HOPE” taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. Interpretation is personal as well as universal. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Our entry into this week’s Photo Challenge was taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles just a few weeks ago, and is accompanied by a poem: Love’s twist Young woman at dawn, sunshine peeking at the corner, awakening. hazy, lazy. Stretching off slumber, gradually opening her eyes…. Gazing up, seeing her lover, distinctive, twisted locks, […]

Sunday was a busy out ‘n about day for Kat and me. From a classic car show in Fullerton, to a dim sum restaurant for lunch, followed by the Arboretum in Arcadia, and ending up at our favorite North Woods restaurant for their famous salads and cheesy bread, we covered the town. Today’s Foto Fix is […]

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 […]

I took a literal interpretation for this week’s photo challenge with a grouping I’m titling Art of Work. I watched these artists demonstrating their craft during the recent Los Angeles Times Book Fair held at USC (University of Southern California). I was both fascinated and envious. I spent many years as a working artist, designing intricate celtic […]

Serenity at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. A very refreshing scene which may help to overcome the unbearable heat wave our area is experiencing. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

I spotted this bottle cap while exploring some of the artists’ lofts at the L.A. Brewery Art Walk. I love the splatter of paint and the rust, along with the copper color tone in the background. The combination provides for an artsy looking shot that sums up many of the incredible art pieces I saw […]

Happy Mother’s Day! This photo shows a wayward baby goat who’d somehow managed to get out of the fenced-in petting zoo at Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen, and was receiving advice from his mother on how to get back in. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

This grouping of photos is titled Kids on the Move, reflecting the joy of childhood, and is our entry into this week’s photo challenge, On the Move. These kids were having a blast pushing each other in their wagon at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia while waiting for the Pasadena Pops concert of MGM […]

Talent abounds everywhere. This shot of an artist at work was taken on Santa Monica Pier. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

While touring the L.A. Brewery Art Walk for the first time, I came across an exhibit that completely left me in awe. The artist loft was filled with giant glowing creatures made of fiber optics, lightbulbs, fabric, and wire. Was definitely inspiring, and I am very much tempted to try and create something similar. Yay […]

Hoping to make our blog more informative, we’ve added a new page called Places. It’s a work in progress of Places We’ve Been and Recommend, taken directly from our blog posts, by month. We hope you’ll find it a useful reference whether you’re a Southern California visitor, or resident. September 2013 is up, and all other months will be added […]

It’s been in the 90’s here in Southern California this past week, ridiculously hot for April/May, which prompts me to search for pictures of the ocean. This shot of Calafia Beach, taken in early April, seems perfect for cooling down. It also brought back memories of a favorite song, beautifully performed by Peter, Paul, and […]

A simple display of defiance is the subject of today’s Foto Fix, with a seagull demonstrating that keep off spikes attached to the sculpture were not intended for him! That he’s perched on the flying fish adds just a bit of irony as well. This photo was taken on the pier at Santa Monica Beach, near […]

Chic, with her upswept braids, print ribbons complimenting the painting on the wall. Its eyes upon her, captivated by her. Furtive glances from the doorway… nearly go unnoticed, art encapsulated. A fleeting moment now dedicated, and elegantly punctuated by the diamond on her ear. ~SueBee Photo captured in a split-second as I was exiting an artist loft at the […]

In this pic, I’m capturing the reflection of the pink oldie car, in the window of another oldie car. The people are sitting on the other side of the car with the pink car reflection. Yeah, just a tad bit of a brain-twister…but a fun picture to capture! I explored the City of Orange Old […]

Today’s Daily Foto Fix was taken this weekend at the Brewery during their wonderful Artwalk. The whimsical area featured is just outside the front door of an artist’s loft/studio. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Today’s Foto Fix is of a photography lesson in progress, the teacher sharing important information on framing the photo, shot across the pond at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. I flipped the image to give a more interesting perspective. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

Gathering at the designated meeting point for a recent photography walking tour of Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, we waited for others to arrive. I started scanning the surrounding area, anxious to get started, and noticed window washers high up the side of a building.I was a bit perplexed they were working on a Saturday, so I switched […]
