I made these for Mother's Day: value pack of 50 cards/envelopes from Joann's, alphabet stamp pad, and precious scraps of Flea Market Fancy fabric.
Note the tiny insect on one of the seeds.
The background bokeh is sugar maple leaves, in the city they tend to stay on the trees longer than in the rural surrounding areas, which are now pretty much devoid of leaves. This is a city garden near where I work.
From photographer's notes - "Even though sixty years have passed since I took these pictures surprisingly the memory of the pictures stays in our minds. All traces have disappeared in the streets but the whole line seems active in our minds.
The Los Angeles Hollywood Beverly Hills Line ran from the Subway Terminal at 4th & Hill Streets. It came out at Beverly and Glendale Blvd. Ran on Glendale Bl. until it got to the North Edge of Echo Park, turned left on to a small street called Park Bl. and went up the hill to Sunset Bl. Turned West on Sunset Bl. and continued until it turned into Hollywood Bl. Continued thru Hollywood until it reached La Brea. It turned slightly South West on a Private Right of way until reaching Fountain. Then turned West on Fountain until it reached Private right of way just before Fairfax Bl. Turned West again on Santa Monica Bl thru West Hollywood. The old Sherman Shops of the PE [Pacific Electric] and the Car house in the pictures were on the property of what is now LACMTA Div. 7. If my memory is correct, the tracks moved from the center of Santa Monica to the South side of the tracks on a Private Right of way (about Doheny). The Right of way continued on to Beverly Hills and the end of Passenger service. Freight trains continued on to Sepulveda Bl. There was also a line that ran from West Hollywood East past Fairfax and on to Sunset Blvd and then turned South thru a short tunnel and on to Hill Street. to 16th St.
The long line of cars parked out side the Car House were surplus cars left over from the abandonment of the Northern Dist. lines and
some from the previously abandoned Venice Short Line.
The Bev. Hills line was abandoned on September 30. 1954, leaving only the Glendale Burbank to be the last PERY line. It was abandoned June 19, 1955. I rode the last car into the Subway and thought that was end of the attempt to bring Rapid Transit. I am glad I lived long enough to see the revival of real Rapid Transit."

FYI, this is not the way to leave a note to avoid a parking ticket. I found this in my archives and it came from a buddy who works in parking enforcement.

A big one to visit on our list and after some fun and games accessing in the dead of night, we were successful.
This asylum was built at the end of the 19th century. It was initially used as a hospital for mentally ill patients and later it was used as a military academy. This location held the equipment where people were treated with ECT and operations to the nervous system.
The asylum closed it's doors in the end of the 20th century when there were laws passed that deemed that asylums had to close their doors.

In jazz and blues, a blue note is a note sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major scale for expressive purposes. Typically the alteration is a semitone or less, but this varies among performers and genres.
"Like the blues in general, the blue notes can mean many things. One quality that they all have in common, however, is that they are flatter than one would expect, classically speaking. But this flatness may take several forms. On the one hand, it may be a microtonal affair of a quarter-tone or so. Here one may speak of neutral intervals, neither major nor minor. On the other hand, the flattening may be by a full semitone--as it must be, of course, on keyboard instruments. It may involve a glide, either upward or downward. Again, this may be a microtonal, almost imperceptible affair, or it may be a slur between notes a semitone apart, so that there is actually not one blue note but two. A blue note may even be marked by a microtonal shake of a kind common in Oriental music. The degrees of the mode treated in this way are, in order of frequency, the third, seventh, fifth, and sixth."
Blue notes are used in many blues songs, in jazz, and in conventional popular songs with a "blue" feeling, such as Harold Arlen's "Stormy Weather." Blue notes are also prevalent in English folk music. Bent or "blue notes", called in Ireland "long notes", play a vital part in Irish music.
