Beautiful Julian

(11 photos) I’m back from Kat and Cam’s wedding in Julian this past weekend, and also from a short visit to friends in the state of Nevada. Let me start by saying the wedding was perfect! It was everything the newlyweds dreamed of, and planned for the past 14 months. The pictures in this gallery were […]

Beautiful Day in the Park

The day before Easter, my family and I went to William R Mason Regional Park in Irvine for a BBQ. What a perfect day to hide Easter eggs, play games, grill hamburgers, eat salads, chips, fruit, cupcakes… completely and utterly wonderful! ~SueBee

Henry the Desert Tortoise

(6 photos) Weekend before last I explored the area near Modjeska Canyon and came upon a tiny nature center where I “met” Henry. Having had a tortoise when I was very young, and turtles having been my very favorite animal in those days, I was drawn to Henry. The space he called home was quite […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: It IS Easy Being Green

(5 photos) This week WordPress Photo Challenge, It IS Easy Being Green, was an easy one for me. I’d taken a drive last weekend through some back canyons here in Southern California, and was surrounded by green hills. All the rain this season turned us into a lush paradise. So, in Southern California, it IS easy […]

Modjeska, Off the Beaten Path

(14 photos) It’s often impossible when living and working in the concrete jungle of Southern California to imagine that rustic, rural places do still exist around us… and often within very short driving distances. This past Sunday, I took myself for a drive and a bit of exploring in the region south of where I […]

Turquoise Rowboat

Today’s Foto Fix was taken at Dana Point Harbor in Southern California, using my iPhone. The boat, as well as the matching posts, caught my eye as they’re painted in my favorite color. I took myself on a really nice Sunday afternoon drive, that included an inland canyon I’d never visited previously, followed by the harbor. […]

Poppies at Fullerton Arboretum

The newspapers have reported here lately about the carpets of wild flowers in the desert due to our rains this year. Saturday, driving out toward the desert with my family for wine tasting in Temecula, we were stuck in traffic and dragging along for miles. Turns out, the hills along the freeway were covered with patches […]

Art Along the Coast

I took a short vacation a few months back and explored the area along Southern California’s coast. Driving south from my hometown of Orange, there remain a few places that aren’t lined with housing tracts bumper to bumper. So refreshing! While keeping an eye out for art in public places as I drove along, I found […]

Desert Palms

A visit to Palm Springs this past Saturday meant a bit of hiking at Andreas Canyon, on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. The day offered perfect weather, clear blue sky, snow-capped mountains surrounding the area. The creek running through the canyon was rushing, full with water from our recent bout of storms. All in all, […]

A Very Colorful House

While on a short vacation last fall, I drove down Southern California’s coast toward San Diego. Somewhere along the way, I saw a small community of mobile homes (manufactured homes) and drove through. This particular home caught my eye! ~SueBee

Lined up for the Storm

Newport Beach, Last Day 2016

(15 photos) December 31 2016 was a rainy day in Southern California, a nice end to a mostly miserable year. Personally, I enjoy overcast, chilly days at the beach, so when the rain took a pause, I hopped in my little truck and headed to Balboa Island. I parked and walked onto the ferry for a […]

2016 Bye Bye

I quickly wrote in the sand at Newport Beach this afternoon, and then, as with the year, it was gone. Wishing a Happy New Year and Everything Good for 2017! ~SueBee

Oak Glen with Snow, part 2

(9 photos) Continuing from my previous post, this gallery includes more photos taken at Oak Glen when Kat and I made a spontaneous visit earlier this week. Oak Glen is my “go to” relaxation place for those times I need to get away for a few hours, breathe fresh mountain air, listen to the soothing sounds of […]
