WAITING FOR THE #71


 I take the #71 bus directly home from downtown. There was another that left from the same place, but it's summer and roads are being repaired and buses rerouted.

This is a hip shot of a fellow who was waiting as well.

NOTHING ORIGINAL


Another moon....every time I see a full moon, I have to photograph it. I am undoubtedly addicted to making cliché -d shots. I am fairly certain many of you saw the same moon, no matter where you are.

OVERNIGHT


 We have recently had a LOT of rain, so it's not surprising mushrooms have popped up. I should have added something for scale, but each was about the size of a salad plate.  However, you won't find them on any salad or dinner plate of mine. Or soup bowl! 😜

EYE-CATCHING


 I wonder if cherry red is the most eye-catching color. I have a feeling it just might be.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S TONGUE



 Sansevieria is otherwise known by the less attractive names of snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue.  I am not good with plants and only cacti, ivy, and succulents seem to do reasonably well for me. I receved the top plant for my birthday in February and have watered it very infrequently. The bottom one was recently given to me by a friend. Big boys!  I have joined a Facegroup page called Snake Plant Society (there's literally a group for everything on FB). I hope these continue to thrive.

LA DÉESSE


There is an old-time car museum located not far from this café where I was sitting. I imagine this Citroën DS is one of the museum's displays, though I believe all the cars are privately owned. I watched attentively as its owner entered the café and returned with a huge bowl of ice. Although I couldn't see, I assume he added it to the car's radiator. After a short while, he got in and drove off. The automobile's name is Citroën and the model is DS, which is a French  pun for 'goddess' (déesse).

TRAPPED


 On the inside looking out. Been so hot here that they're better off inside.

NEW WHITE SHOES

Goodness. I saw these 98 percent new shoes on a trash receptacle downstairs. Only the soles looked like they had been used, but very little. No laces, but no scuffs either. Someone placed them there, I imagine, for a needy person.

CYRILLIC VS. LATIN ALPHABET

Here in Serbia the Cyrillic alphabet (on the left above) is more frequently used than the Latin one, often puzzling foreigners who can't decipher street signs. 

The above versions are of the same message (Mostar is a town in Bosnia). No idea what happened on January 10th (European way of expressing dates).

GREAT DRYING DAY

I have done all my laundry from my Greek vacation, but oh, when too iron it?

WITHDRAWAL


 Here I am back in Belgrade, but psychologically still in Greece. I brought back some spanakopita and feta cheese, and an evil eye plate. Evil eyes are thought to deflect negative energy, and hey, that can only be good. The peaches are Serbian and the first good ones of the season. Baby-butt soft, not mush, so sweet.
