HAPPY IN THE BUS

 This photo brings a smile to my face. The woman is oviously happy, but the pup looks unsure, as if he fears someone will ask him to get off the seat!

LIPSTICK ON HER SKIRT

 LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR by Connie Francis was one of the first teeny-bopper songs I liked.  This girl has lipstick on her skirt!

TEXTING ABOVE THE 'TURKISH' MARKET

A young woman sits texting above what ex-pats here call 'the Turkish' market, though I haven't a clue why. If you're interested in reading about the history of this section of Belgrade, CLICK RIGHT HERE. I learned a lot.

MARCH 2026 THEME DAY--WHITE

 What is white about vanilla? Yes, there is vanilla ice cream, but vanilla extract is not white, although the vanilla flower is. The yellow packet contains about a tablespoon of vanlla sugar, which some cooks prefer instead of the liquid. I'm stretching the theme once again to present to you one more person of color I had NEVER heard of. His name was Edmond Albius, born in Reunion in 1829.  PLEASE click THIS LINK to read about him. He took the last name 'Albius' (white) from the color of the vanilla flower.

SHOEFITI

 While walking last night, I came upon this dramatic view of pairs of shoes thrown over a power line.  All of us have seen this somewhere in the world. I looked up the significance of shoe-throwing and it varies from the innocent (if you can call 'playing' with power lines innocent) to the more aggressive, i.e. from creating SHOEFITI to asserting a gang's presence in a certain area.

BLONDE JOGGER

We've had some good weather recently, clear and crisp. This isn't a terribly original shot, but I took it with my 50mm lens at a distance and cropped it down. Still sharp.

PAW PRINTS ON RED

A photo from a bicycle path. You can see what appear to  be skid marks or at least tire marks from bicycles and paw prints from a large dog that have darkened over time.
 

HAIR ACCESSORIES

I love to browse the stalls at local markets. You can find just about anything there--clothing, shoes, socks, undies, jewelry, and hair accessories like these that I photographed from the other side of the canvas panel where they were displayed.

COMPOSITION IN RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

 The chair on the left now looks more orange....oh, well. I like the combination of thse colors along with the yellow wall.

TEAPOTS

We visited my favorite Serbian restaurant yesterday, and I took a shot of their one window (actually there are two like this) that faces one street. Someone either donated their entire collection of teapots, cups and saucers, sugar bowls, and creamers to the restaurant. They are all beautiful. This is just a close-up of one window.
 

MY FAVORITE SERBIAN RESTAURANT

This restaurant, RESTORAN VUK (pronounced 'vooook),') is my favorite Serbian restaurant. The link is only in Serbian, but you can check out its interior in color and drool over some of its cuisine. Classic, and I hope for many more years, an excellent old-world dining experience.
