Tuesday’s sunset over the Hollywood Hills…
Scientific
name Agapanthus - Common
name Lily of the Nile
or African lily – In the courtyard…
More jacaranda trees on my street, in bloom in the morning gloom off the Pacific…
And the city looks like this in the distance at nine in the morning in the “June Gloom” of “Jacaranda
Time” …
Hollywood Signage
This place on the Sunset Strip might come might come in handy in these troubled times… Ahmed Chalabi shops here?
Also on Sunset Boulevard amid all the clubs, the place where all the moderately dull television programs get invented
– those that turn us into couch potatoes.
You remember that sign in The Great Gatsby that is so ominous?
Here’s the Hollywood equivalent.
Ah, don’t we all, don’t we all…
This is just depressing – serving the Hollywood Hungarian community for decades… The Gabor sisters probably did not patronize this place.

___________________
From last week's home page...
Here the weather has turned into the normal "Jacaranda Time" – that period from mid-May to late June
when the purple jacaranda trees bloom everywhere (they’re in the mimosa family somehow) and each and every day there
are thick, low clouds and ground fog off the Pacific until early afternoon, and then it clears to hazy sun and mid-seventies
pleasantness. The fog creeps back in after midnight and the sky gets thick again. Not a bad six or
seven weeks, but the purple blooms fall everywhere and make the streets a little slick at times. Hell, these purple
trees are everywhere. Surreal. This Hollywood Boulevard at Gardner.
