Eve Pericich with her garden collage, 12 Jan 2014

My friend Eve Pericich's lovely and interesting collage was selected to be part of the "Portraits of the Garden" exhibit at Descanso Gardens. This snapshot is from the opening on Jan. 12th. The show runs until March 30th.

Sitting (very) pretty, Los Angeles (100 Strangers)

At Mai's Mexican Kitchen, Los Angeles (30 March 2012)

I didn't get this beautiful young woman's name.

I just asked if I could take her photo and she said, "Yes",

so I snapped and thanked her. What do you think it is?

She was sitting by the door of the very narrow Mai Mexican Kitchen

restaurant on Spring St. btw 6th & 7th, in the heart of L.A.

8th of March -- International Women's Day & Annie's Birthday

Ladies' Club Lunch, Palos Verdes Country Club, early '60s
TRI-PHOTO by TRIANGLE CAMERA, Redondo Beach, CA

Lots of rememberances on this day. The photo is of my mother-in-law lunching with her friends at the PVCC. She is sitting on the right, in the middle. I adored my mother-in-law who passed away 13 years ago. She was a homemaker, a seamstress, a golfer, and a bridge player among many other things, and was just wonderful to me.

   My dearest friend's birthday is also today. I met Annie in Junior High, when we were both fresh off the boat - I from former Yugoslavia, and she from Taiwan. It's been a long and strong friendship ever since. Happy Birthday dear Annie! Annie and Karl had their wedding reception at PVCC in 1985.

  As for Women's Day, when I was growing up in Yugoslavia, it was a day to honor women and mothers in our lives. I remember buying fresh bunches of violets and a pretty perfume bottle (all on my own) for my mom when I was 10, as well as small gifts for my favorite teachers.
