TEXTING IN BLACK AND WHITE

I was treating myself to a chocolate ice cream (two scoops...) and was fascinated by this woman who was endlessly texting. I stayed nearly a half an hour and she never stopped.
 

ALL COMFY AT THE MALL

 This guy's position makes me hurt just looking at him. I'm sure he just hops up and walks off. Wouldn't be the case for me.

STILL IN RUIN

 Twenty-six years ago Serbia was heavily bombed by NATO forces. One of their targets was the headquarters of the state-run news service RADIO TELEVISION SERBIA. PLEASE read the entire link.  You can see the bombed section in my photo.

OLD RECORDS, OLD BOOKS

It would be stretching it a bit to compare these stands on a side street downtown to Paris's famous used book sellers' stands along the Seine, but that's what they are. Full of old books and LPs, just begging you to have a look. But it was Easter Monday; not a soul in sight.

ILIJA BASICEVIC BOSILJ

 The name of this artist is a mouthful for those who don't know Serbian, but Ilija Basicevic Bosilj (IL ee ya BAS ee cheh veech BOS eel ya) 1095-1972 was/is one of the most well-known Serbian Naive Artists.

MONDAY MURALS --HUNGRY DOG?

 Not sure which came first---the recycling bags or the hungry dog.

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

HAPPY EASTER

 Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate.

This red egg is called the 'čuvar kuće,' (CHOO-var KOO-chay) or 'guardian of the house' and is usually the first egg colored. Of course it is hard-boiled and stands on a shelf all year long to protect the family and house from harm.

STAND-OFFISH

 I must admit I am not a cat person. I tolerate them, but just don't want one. That said, I am intrigued by their habits. I have often noticed that, unlike dogs, cats don't like to share their bed, cushion, chair, etc. Here's an example.

TREES ALONG THE DANUBE

 It's been on and off overcast; yesterday was overcast with little bursts of rain.

I walked with my dog along the river and managed to get home without getting too wet.

KOI

 Short out-of-town visit yielded this photo of some koi in a pond. Nothing special; just pretty!
