From the Swallowtail Garden Seeds collection of botanical photographs and illustrations. We hope you will enjoy these images as much as we do.
On this date in 1971, one day after landing Apollo astronauts Dave Scott and James Irwin explored the surface of the moon in the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the first of its kind on the lunar surface.
This photo from the June 11, 1971 issue of Life Magazine shows the astronauts -- from left, Jim Irwin, Al Worden and Dave Scott -- posing with their color-coded Corvettes and the 1-G LRV trainer. As with the stylized birds on the Apollo 15 patch, the cars are red, white, and dark blue.
In a 2005 e-mail, Dave Scott notes "As I recall, this particular photo of the corvettes was taken out by the launch pad. The corvettes were stylized to essentially show the flag and set a bit of unit pride... primarily to let the troops know that we were about and paying attention to all they were doing; e.g., at almost any level of the launch complex one could look down and recognize the crew's cars; we went to the pad often for various spacecraft activities as well as to just say hello to the folks putting the Saturn V and its payload together."

Little Lulu from a Life magazine ad, Feb. 14, 1949.
Lulu was a fairly popular female formal name given in the the latter half of the 1800's. It was/is also a diminutive form of the given names Louisa, Louise, or Lucy.
It is very rare today, indicative of changing norms and practices in society. In contemporary times even the name "Lululemon" isn't based on a person but was a totally fabricated name containing as many "L"s as possible so as to make the name sound western and difficult for Japenese consumers to pronounce.
I personally have never met a Lulu in my life.
V–J day in Times Square is a famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that I tried to add another dimension by using some color.

In tribute to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)
May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965
It's Malcolm X Day this Sunday coming so I wanted to use this week's 52 entry to mark the occasion and pay respect to a personal hero of mine. He was a shining example of turning your life around, speaking truth to power, living every day as though it is your last and refusing to 'know your place' and buckle under; a man who believed in going out and fighting for what is yours by right, rather than waiting for the man with the foot on your neck to decide he wants to let you up.
Over a thousand Chicagoans from all over the city, gathered at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by David Lang.
Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.
Okay, so I do like this old stuff.... The long green box BTW is for holding knitting needles, and the holes on top are for checking you've picked the right size .....
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1936 is an iconic image of the Great Depression. I tried to add another dimension by using some color and I think it came out pretty well.

They're lined up, waiting for the stars of 'Hamilton' to come out the back door of the theater. That escape hatch will land them in the alley next to the Majestic Building at 22 E. Monroe.
Since the alley is roped off with yellow tape in an effort to keep things orderly, I take it that this is not a fluke, but a daily routine.
