WILD GARLIC

Wild garlic is popular here, but its season doesn't last long.  Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic, ramsons,cows's leek, cowleek, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, Eurasian wild garlic, onion grass, or bear's garlic is on the market here now in abundance. I make soup with it or toss some of the leaves into the pot I make pasta with.  Here in Serbia it is know as sremuš (SREH-moosh).

JUST PRETTY

 It was cold and rainy yesterday and today will be the same. I would have stayed in, but gotta walk the pup. You can thank her for leading me to these yet budding irises 

WHAT A FIND! (Please read the text!)

I must have gypsy blood. I do NOT mean that as any kind of ethnic slur, for gypsies, or Roma, do so much good here in Serbia by recycling paper, metal, glass and so on. When I have clothing I do not wish to throw away, I fill a bag and carry it with me. When I come across a Roma, I give it to him/her and they're always happy. If it is a big bag, I put it down by the dumpster and it disappears very quickly. Yesterday I had a role reversal. While walking my dog, I came upon this very dusty, but totally in good shape, chair that someone had placed by the dumpster. It followed me home. I have washed and scrubbed it and it is currently drying on my terrace. After it dries, I will shellac it and buy a cushion and it will be an  indoor chair in the location that you see it above. I'll post a photo!

ANGRY PASTRY

 I didn't buy this angey pastry, opting for a healthier choice, and I am sure it wasn't happy about that. 

NOT NERVOUS

 I took this photo from my window the other evening. I wasn't nervous and intentionally didn't use a tripod. I was inspired by a group on Facebook called Intentional Camera Movement. Very cool photos in that group; look it up!

READERS AND WALKERS

 Each enjoys the park in his own way.

PIGEON MAN

Just a man and his pigeons.

 

COLORS OF SPRING

The other day I saw several people wearing yellow. Here's one!
 

THE CAT WOMAN

 There seems to be at least one woman in each neighborhood who takes care of stray cats. Always a woman, never a man. Our neighborhood has two, and this is one of them. 

SPRING IN WINTER COLOR

 This puffy white bush's flowers reminded me of a large snowball. Just a few more days now until Spring. 

MAN, MONEY, AND A CIGARETTE

 Another market shot. Money, man, and a cigarette.
