A Yankee-in-Belgrade
Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

WHAT A FIND! (Please read the text!)
I must have gypsy blood. I do NOT mean that as any kind of ethnic slur, for gypsies, or Roma, do so much good here in Serbia by recycling paper, metal, glass and so on. When I have clothing I do not wish to throw away, I fill a bag and carry it with me. When I come across a Roma, I give it to him/her and they're always happy. If it is a big bag, I put it down by the dumpster and it disappears very quickly. Yesterday I had a role reversal. While walking my dog, I came upon this very dusty, but totally in good shape, chair that someone had placed by the dumpster. It followed me home. I have washed and scrubbed it and it is currently drying on my terrace. After it dries, I will shellac it and buy a cushion and it will be an indoor chair in the location that you see it above. I'll post a photo!

ANGRY PASTRY
I didn't buy this angey pastry, opting for a healthier choice, and I am sure it wasn't happy about that.

NOT NERVOUS
I took this photo from my window the other evening. I wasn't nervous and intentionally didn't use a tripod. I was inspired by a group on Facebook called Intentional Camera Movement. Very cool photos in that group; look it up!

THE CAT WOMAN
There seems to be at least one woman in each neighborhood who takes care of stray cats. Always a woman, never a man. Our neighborhood has two, and this is one of them.

SPRING IN WINTER COLOR
This puffy white bush's flowers reminded me of a large snowball. Just a few more days now until Spring.

GOTTA LOVE THOSE HEELS
Her heels remind me of the type I wore to the senior prom as did all my other girl friends. You'd buy them white and the shop would match the to your dress! I never held on to mine, but I guess I could have kept them for a dress-up car wash.
