Another Monday is here and I can tell I'm a true Floridian now because I have flip flop tan lines on my feet. I always forget to put sunblock on my feet; oh well. I had a nice morning with my daughter walking around a nearby park. There is a walkway which extends over the mangrove swamp and she and I walked the length of it to a gazebo at the end. I was able to take a few good shots of her there; it's nice to get some pictures of her someplace other than home. I love this picture of Marilyn because she was in her 30's when this picture was taken, and maybe on the brink of discovering the wisdom that comes with not being a "kid" anymore. Alas, she never had a chance to ditch the total sexpot image and move into the role of the sexy older chick, more mature and experienced, maybe stronger and more self assured. People think she was a ditz but really she was quite intelligent; maybe that's why she had so much difficulty with all the b.s. of Hollywood... Anyway, artists often suffer much for their creativity, of this I am well aware.

On the upside, she died tragically young and beautiful. As a result SHE'LL NEVER DIE! 100 years from now everyone will still know Marilyn Monroe. :-)
