You all know how much I love doodles in cement. (Actually, this one is my all-time favorite.) There is something so wistful and sweet about these signatures from the past.
It's interesting to note that down through the ages, initials plus other initials, expresses love between two people. It may be on a tree, or a park bench, the sidewalk, the street,in a restaurant booth, in the dirt, in the sand, on a dirty car. The need to express one's self is paramount. I like to see that some things never change.
This is a fantastic image, I like it! There's some magic going on here, as I saw the tire as a ceiling and the side walk with the heart as a curved wall. Wonderful flat composition and color.
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

You're a genius! One who not only looks up and out... but down!
What a great contrast to yesterday's gravity-defying perspective. And what a sweet way to be grounded.
John Osborne
loved Virginia Hughes
her petticoats, lipstick
her scuffed up shoes
Virginia loved John
slicked hair
and black jacket
souped up car
it's V-8, a racket
But that's a love story
from long ago
etched in cement
so we all would know
That even though JO and VH
are gone
their memory of romance
lives on
and on

I'm loving that poem, Jude.
Judy Williams...sweet
I'm with a VH but I'm not a JO...(and he drives a beater)
Judy: I love your poem!
Laurie: I love that composition!
Judy: Your wonderful poem is a perfect compliment to LA's shot: spontaneous, direct, and yet structured.
Thanks, y'all!
