CHIEN HEUREUX

 This French dog seemed to be thrilled sitting at a red light.

LENS BALL NOT SO GREAT

 Terrace window. I have got to do better....

DARK FACADE

 The gate and tower on this facade resemble those in nearby Kalemegdan  Park, but no explanation anywhere on the building why.

LAMP POST AND PIGEON

 Just what the title says, plus some flowers.

A PUFF OUTSIDE THE BAKERY

 A bakery worker takes a break outside a bakery in Zemun, a neighboring municipality of Belgrade. 

PARASOL

 I have been seeing more parasols this summer than I ever have before. I don't use one myself, but ladies, do you resort to a parasol to ward off the sun's rays?

GUARDING THE SHOP

 A good guard dog is any dog that barks a lot. I think the  one on the chair would be good at that; if not, the Frenchie is a back-up.

PIPES, POTS, AND PLANTS

 A visit to the neighboring municipality of Zemun yielded this creative, down in the alley photo. Happy Sunday to you all.

COLORS AT THE MARKET

 The green markets here not only sell produce, but a variety of other items like these fans and shoelaces.

THEME DAY-AUGUST 2025--SWEETS

 Serbia does not lack in sweets.  Many are adaptations of desserts from former occupying countries like Turkey or Austria and are usually super-sweet. The ones pictured are from neither of those countnries, but are from the US!  They are banana/peanut butter bars and I'm typing the recipe below. Super easy and not sweet, unless you overdo the honey or add sugar.  See other SWEETS on THEME DAY.

Here's the recipe:  

One mashed banana

2 tablespoons of honey

1/2 cup of peanut butter

one teaspoon of vanilla extract

sprinkle of cinnamon

2 cups of oatmeal (dry)

Mix all; pat into lightly greased pan and chill.

(Note: I bet coconut would be good too if added....)

FERAL PIGS--YOU'RE IN THEIR 'HOOD!

 My dog and I (she was leashed) went for a walk yesterday on Belgrade's GREAT WAR ISLAND in the Danube River. It was overcast, few people. A lovely, sylvan walk, and despite the possibility of running  into (or away from....) feral piggies, I saw nothing bigger than a butterfly. Note:  Never run from them; walk backwards slowly or climb a tree. Walking backwards I can do, but forget the tree climbing....
