SHY ACCORDIONIST?

 This was a hip shot and I was not looking at the fellow. He either noticed me and turned away, or just turned away anyhow and I could not see.

ROMA GIRL AND BABY

A young Roma girl poses for me with a baby. Her sister, brother, or someone else's; hard to say.

GRANDMA FLORIST

It may be soon winter, but this lady's flower stand reflects blooms of all seasons. I wonder whom she's texting.

THE LAST LEAVES

Big winds here have done their duty. Few leaves are left on the trees downstairs in the park. Winter's a-comin'.

WEAR YOUR HAT

 "Wear your hat" is advice I should keep repeating to myself. As soon as I go out when it is cold and windy, in less than 15 minutes I get a chill. And now, as a result, this is my second day in bed. Oh, woe, when will I ever learn?

ROW OF REDS

 While walking home yesterday, I saw these trees with such beautiful red leaves along the boulevard. 

TIRAMISU

 

A little celebration for a family member yesterday ended with this tiramisu that I shared. Fewer calories; less guilt.

SANTA'S HERE

 

This giant Santa stands at a mall near me. The equivalent of the price is around $3,000! If you have the money, do you have room for him? Click in the photo to enlarge. The dog is not for sale at any price! 

WHERE I ONCE WORKED.....

I've been absent a few days, editing my photos from a recent trip. No new local Belgrade shots!  I'll be going to Paris for ten days beginning of December and will visit some of my old haunts.  I think the most impressive place I ever worked was the First National City Bank on the Champs-Elysees. I had a job that literally paid peanuts, but the surroundings.... The building was built in 1930 but now houses a gallery of boutiques...sad.  Below is the main entrance in the background and the staircase leading to the first floor. To use my grandmother's expression, "If I had a nickel for every time I...." I'd be rich. And I remember on occasion accompanying someone down in the 'basement' where the bank's huge vault stood. READ ABOUT THE VAULT HERE  and have a laugh.

 

THE FACE IN THE MUD

Moping around all morning and early afternoon because I didn't have a photo for today on my blog. Seriously. Took the dog for a walk in the field across the way and found this face in the mud.  It kind of looks like a witch who's lost her hat. I found a similar likeness RIGHT HERE ON THE INTERNET.

WINDOW

 I last featured THIS LOCATION on February 2nd. You can see the same 'sheets' hanging now as curtains inside this ground-floor apartment. As the other post was titled, "Keep Your Eyes Open', there is always something to see and you're never bored with your camera.
