	Saturday, January 17, 2009 – For the Dead


	What's in bloom is in the dead of January is in bloom the cemeteries. These are in Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park – Glendon Avenue, just off Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood, not far from UCLA. The place is sometimes filed with tourists, as this is the final resting place of Marilyn Monroe, Donna Reed, Dean Martin, Natalie Wood, Carroll O'Connor, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, George C. Scott, Burt Lancaster, Eve Arden, Eva Gabor and even Truman Capote. Frank Zappa's grave is unmarked - number 100, a few yards to the west of Roy Orbison and right next to Lew Ayres. But sometimes you just want to see the flowers.


	Local tour bus here this day –

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto. The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
