Spontaneous adventures usually result in some of the best experiences and photos. While randomly out n’ about at the Santa Monica Pier, I came across a street performer with three magnificent parrots. When I asked permission to take pictures of the birds, the performer was more than happy to show them off, and had them […]

When I took the train to downtown Los Angeles last week, I arrived at Union Station, across from Olvera Street and El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical monument. One of L.A.’s original areas, it’s always fun to visit. The celebration of Dia de Los Muertos was on, so colorful costumes were abundant, music playing, dancers on the […]

Today’s ‘foto fix’ is of Kat and a horse (the sweetest horse ever!) we spotted while exploring Oak Glen near Yucaipa yesterday. Story and pics (hundreds, lol) coming soon of that gorgeous, gorgeous apple wonderland of Oak Glen!! This pic was taken with my iPhone after I’d put the Nikon away, a completely random, cool […]

Today’s “foto fix” is of my boyfriend and me taking a pic of these gorgeous orange flowers at the same time…there he is in the background 🙂 ~Kat (Pic by Kat)

Cable TV and I parted company quite some time ago, but prior to tossing in the cable box, I’d seen enough of the talking heads on TV for the expression to stick in my head. For those not familiar with the term talking heads, it refers to the so-called experts who blab on and on, […]

Courage, guts, and a “you won’t beat me” attitude came to my mind while watching this seagull hold his ground (sand) as a “giant” wave loomed behind him, the first of several that he outsmarted. Yeah, maybe he was clever enough, or had experience enough, to know where the wave would crash and that he’d be safe, […]

I recently took an outdoor photography class with my boyfriend, Cam…learned tons a great tips! As I mentioned in my previous article, Cam now has the same camera as me, so we’ve been testing out our new-found knowledge together. We went to Disneyland a few days ago, and took tons of awesome shots! However, I’m […]

Spontaneous trips are the best, especially when camping and photography are involved! This past weekend, my boyfriend, Cam, and I decided to go camping in Joshua Tree National Park…such a gorgeous place! Cam just bought himself the same camera I have (Nikon d5100) so we turned the trip into a photography journey. We stayed at […]

The 81st annual Chrysanthemum Show was in progress when I visited Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge yesterday. Were you aware of such variety of the flower with the really long name, commonly sold in the fresh flowers section at the grocery store? I wasn’t. They’re really spectacular. It must be difficult being a judge, […]

Isn’t this the perfect place to pause, relax, breathe in the fresh, garden scents?! Today’s Foto Fix was taken today at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, another of our favorite spots. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

We’re lucky! We live in Southern California, which is like having the entire world within one time zone, easy driving distance for an afternoon’s outing. The variety of traditions, cultures, languages, foods (yum!), religions… is incredible. A place I enjoy visiting often for a unique cultural experience (along with their ever-rotating, amazing exhibits), is the […]

Grand ideas for a Los Angeles that never came to fruition,  whether for lack of money, support, or the occasional morbid reason, are numerous. I lucked out in viewing the ‘Never Built Los Angeles‘ exhibit at the A + D Museum on Wilshire (across from LACMA) during its final showing last week. I’d never been […]

When you walk into an antique store, you walk back in time…you experience history through tangible objects. It’s fascinating seeing knick-knacks, toys, clothing, decor, and art from various eras, all in one place…it’s like several history lessons all in one shopping trip! Despite being from the Millennial generation, I’ve always had a passion for old […]

My auntie and I are photography buds…she taught me how to use my Nikon d5100. I went to the LA Arboretum with her to practice, and used her macro lens to catch today’s “Foto Fix.” Aren’t close-ups awesome?! They’re my favorite type of pics to take, especially when I have a macro lens to use […]

Every month on the first Sunday, the Bowers Museum, located in Santa Ana, allows free admission and hosts a cultural festival, sponsored by Target. Each event features arts & crafts, live music, dance performances, and food specific to the celebrated culture of the month. This “Daily Foto Fix” is from their June event, which celebrated […]

We’ve all had the joyful experience of spotting images in the clouds…”Hey, that one looks like a bunny, see the fluffy tail?!” When I’m on a photography outing, I find myself looking for noticeable shapes in different objects. One day, while on a relaxing, post-rain walk at the Fullerton Arboretum, thinking about my wonderful boyfriend, […]

If you ever have an opportunity to visit Disneyland on your own, without the intention of getting on every ride…to just stroll along Main Street, and check out all the design details…do it! Right now, everything is gorgeously decorated for Fall; the park looks magnificent! With hundreds of uniquely hand-carved pumpkins (no two look alike!) […]

Randomly stopped by Old Town Orange with a friend to snap a few shots with the Nikon. I love the Vintage atmosphere of the town! We started off with a traditional hamburger and fries lunch at a 50’s style diner called Watson’s Drug Store, then explored the numerous antique shops and boutiques. Such a fun […]
