| Leaves, Branches (Fairfax) - Marin County 2022 |
We searched in vain for some Fall colors in New York back in 2019. This year there's been more color in Fairfax than there was in New York state back then. Go figure.

Happy New Year!

I was particularly intrigued by the 413 triangle tribute at the top.
Here's what ChatGPT has to say: "The murals serve as a way for people to pay tribute to Kobe, and they also serve as a way for people to express their feelings and emotions about his untimely death."

"In 1971, she played Carlotta Campion and introduced the popular song "I'm Still Here" in the Broadway production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies."
Last October Mike happened to be walking on Hollywood Blvd and was pleased to see Ms. De Carlo's star, as he's a great fan of the original cast album of Sondheim's Follies.
