I fondly remember reading her autobiography, My Story, years ago. Remarkable woman.

Ever been so intrigued by a book you read the notes (all of them, introductory and explanatory) with relish? @realvenetianblonde knocks it out of the park — editing-wise — presenting #fscottfitzgerald’s lost #stories with insight, verve, and wit. ‘“The Women in the House,” later cut severely and revised into “Temperature,” is a medical story centered on a patient with heart trouble—which Fitzgerald was himself at the time he wrote it. But it is also about famous stars, dope, drinking, dazzle, and the Hollywood he knew...”’Loved this book! The rest of the #paperbacks in the picture are recommendations from friends, I’ll let you know, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a summer of fabulous reads. . . . . . #iddieforyouandotherloststories #bookstagram #book #bookworm #writersofinstagram #read #reading #lovethisbook #author #authorsofinstagram #literature #flickers #tinseltown #lastory #hollywood #history #masterpiece #20thcentury #writer #thegreatgatsby #zeldasayre #oldhollywood #creative #imagination #bookcover

This was the first female photojournalist to cover war from the front lines — Gerda Taro. She fled Nazi Germany, and died covering the Spanish Civil War. She was fearless, and all of 26. . My dad was reconnaissance photographer in WWII, he never talked about the war, something indicative of his generation, yet I found out more about what he did, and what people thought of him as a young man very recently... .

An #arabesque of bright pink #petals, contrasting the #rose against a gray #May #morning. Some things stop me in my tracks, and I pause and point the phone... Today I met a neighbor as I was #walking, her name is Amelia, her husband is Angelo, she told me she was Italian and had lived in her #stylish #home for forty years. She kept calling me #darling, I suspect because she hadn’t caught my name, and I promised (happily!) to come by and see her again. . . . . . #goodmorning #ilovela #garden #blossom #petalperfection #floral #californiadreaming #theresnoplacelikehome #elegant #bungalow #architecture #oldhouselove #gooutside #explore #openyoureyes #beautifulday #greenery

Left the #nest to see family and friends, far to the north, and along the way stopped on the eastern side of the Sierras to catch a glimpse (perhaps, the exact location is unknown to the public) of the second oldest tree in the world — it’s around 5,000. The oldest, in Norway, is 9,500. #Imagine that. The oldest #tree existed before the invention of #writing, and the second oldest tree sprouted just about the time we started to record our #history. . . . #goodnight #californiadreaming #blue #shell #exploretocreate #gooutside #liveagreatstory #amwriting #artofvisuals #writersofinstagram #design #nature #inspiration #lastory #botanical #birdsnest #stilllifephotography #beautifulnature #darlingweekend #creative #livethelittlethings #writersofinstagram

Out where I couldn’t reach the Internet, but at night, with no city lights, it felt like I could reach up and touch the Milky Way. . . #MarkTwain wrote about this place in “The Celebrated Frog of Calaveras County” . . In regard to the tale Mr. Twain said... . . “When I became convinced that the "Jumping Frog" was a Greek story two or three thousand years old, I was sincerely happy, for apparently here was a most striking and satisfactory justification of a favorite theory of mine—to wit, that no occurrence is sole and solitary, but is merely a repetition of a thing which has happened before, and perhaps often.” . . #californiadreaming #sierra #mountains #bluesky #historic #home #exploretocreate #beautyofstillmoments #artofvisuals #frontporch #roses #heart #outforawalk #literature #postitfortheaesthetic #thatsdarling #agameoftones #thehappynow #elegance #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #witty #story

There’s a stand of palm trees I like to see as night falls. This old place was built in 1924. The woman who slept here, up under the eaves, so very long ago, was a violinist. Do you know how some places speak to you? This place sings to me. . #sweetdreams. . . . . . #hollywood #night #viewfrommywindow #postitfortheaesthetic #bluesky #silhouette #thatsdarling #agameoftones #thehappynow #beautyofstillmoments #Conquer_LA #LAStory #LostInLA #MyDayInLA #elegance #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #goodreads #socal #evening #story #style #californiadreaming

Solar sneezing — when you walk just before dawn, and as soon as the sun beams down and hits your nose — kerchoo! I’ve learned to bring tissues. Sleeves will only get you so far. . . . . . Time for a #sunnyday cup of #coffee. . #livethelittlethings #beautyofstillmoments #goodmorning #decor #door #heart #outforawalk #pursuepretty #postitfortheaesthetic #thatsdarling #architecture #thehappynow #gooutside #Conquer_LA #LAStory #LostInLA #MyDayInLA #elegance #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #author #literature #lovebooks #goodreads #socal #story.

He said, “Look at the sunset,” and I glanced up to see the light had turned luminous coral in the sky, so I ran up the stairs and climbed out on the roof for an unfiltered #LA #sunset. . . . . . #goodnight #love #gooutside #pursuepretty #exploretocreate #artofvisuals #palms #MyDayInLA #clouds #bluesky #naturephotography #citylife #LAStory #silhouette #glowing #hollywood #light #thehappynow #discoverearth #writersofinstagram
