MONDAY MURALS ---STILL NOTHING....

 I think I have photographed this area in the large park next to government building quite a while ago.  It appears that something was started there, but never finished, and probably won't be.  Someone took advantage of the wall for a mural.

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

ŽUĆA

 There is a fair number of street dogs here in Belgrade. Some have it rough, having to scrounge for food and shelter. Others have the good fortune of being informally adopted by a neighborhood. This is the home of Žuća (ZHOO-cha), which roughly translates to 'Goldie'. She is old and has lived in this house for years. Someone pimped it up for the holidays. Žuća wasn't in when I took this photo. I found her waiting in front of the local butcher shop around the corner. 

A SPLASH OF COLOR

I know it's early for spring. I glimpsed some forsythia near where I live, but otherwise I am surrounded with drabness. However, today downtown I came across these tulips in a window that made my day.
 

TROMPE L'OEIL

I did a bit of a double take when I saw this bike leaning against a wall....but it isn't leaning; it's painted on the wall.

THE ACCIDENTAL ARTIST

Yesterday I caught this lady hanging out her laundry; folded-over sheets or curtains, not sure. She is the accidental artist OF THIS PHOTOGRAPH that I coincidentally took in black and white at this time last year. That 'seize the moment'photo is one of my favorites. Click and see.

SHARED WITH NEW FRIENDS

My birthday's gone for this year and I happily shared the rest of my homemade cake with two new friends from Jordan who traveled back to Belgrade with my son from his recent trip!

FROM SCRATCH

 No boxed mixes for me. Made for a special occasion yesterday. 

STILL THERE

 I just checked my past posts because, although I've photographed many cats, this one doesn't show up. He (I think it's a he) always sits in the same place down by the river, high up and away from dogs. So, today is this kitty's day!

OAK BRANCHES

 This is not an oak tree, but you do see here two bunches of oak branches. On Serbian Orthodox Christmas on January 7th, it is the custom to burn a bunch on your terrace on in your yard to ensure good health and prosperity. Some people don't have a yard or terrace and so, because the bunches should never be discarded as yrash, they are returned to Nature, as seen here. 

APPLES

 I don't eat as many apples as I should, but I love to photograph them. 

NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING

The dog and its owner stood fairly still for my photo, even though they were oblivious to my snapping a shot. I was on my way home from downtown where I had been cruising the streets for photos. Nothing came of that, so you get this one!
