13/365: "All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin." ~ Lord Byron
My head is bowed in this tribute to Vivian Brown, who passed away yesterday at age 85. The inseparable identical twin of Marion Brown, these two spent their lives as San Francisco icons, and I saw them many times, walking around downtown, greeting visitors and being the perfect pair of ambassadors to my home town. They were always dressed immaculately, with exuberant, cheery dispositions and full of bubbly charm. Vivian will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
I went out this morning to find a pair of twins, or just a single perfect representation for the loss of Vivian Brown. It's the coldest day this year with a temperature of just 27 degrees (it was 24 last night!), and so dry there was very little frost, but I got lucky with these beautiful frozen droplets!
About the Brown Twins:
Marian (born January 25, 1927) and Vivian Brown (January 25, 1927 – January 9, 2013) are American identical twins and icons of San Francisco, known for the appearance in media with their signature identical bright snappy outfits with hats atop their meticulously coiffed hair. Wikipedia: Marian & Vivian Brown
Lord Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824) was an English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential. Wikipedia: Lord Byron
