THE SOCK SELLER

 I took this photo last Monday at the open market. Open markets are notoriously empty on Mondays, but this fellow thought he'd give it a go. Not sure he had a lot of business, but he did help me out with a photo.

MARKET ART?

 I can across this 'piece of art' on a wall at a nearby open market. I am wondering if it was intentional or not.

RED TRANSPORTATION

 "That's a real cherry bike," they would have said in admiration when I was in high school. Indeed it is bright cherry-red like the bus in the background. I was rather surprised to see a red bus, because most now have been painted blue.

FOGGY AND OVERCAST

 Double weather whammy with gray skies and fog, too.

MONDAY MURALS ---STILL NOTHING....

 I think I have photographed this area in the large park next to government building quite a while ago.  It appears that something was started there, but never finished, and probably won't be.  Someone took advantage of the wall for a mural.

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

ŽUĆA

 There is a fair number of street dogs here in Belgrade. Some have it rough, having to scrounge for food and shelter. Others have the good fortune of being informally adopted by a neighborhood. This is the home of Žuća (ZHOO-cha), which roughly translates to 'Goldie'. She is old and has lived in this house for years. Someone pimped it up for the holidays. Žuća wasn't in when I took this photo. I found her waiting in front of the local butcher shop around the corner. 

A SPLASH OF COLOR

I know it's early for spring. I glimpsed some forsythia near where I live, but otherwise I am surrounded with drabness. However, today downtown I came across these tulips in a window that made my day.
 

TROMPE L'OEIL

I did a bit of a double take when I saw this bike leaning against a wall....but it isn't leaning; it's painted on the wall.

THE ACCIDENTAL ARTIST

Yesterday I caught this lady hanging out her laundry; folded-over sheets or curtains, not sure. She is the accidental artist OF THIS PHOTOGRAPH that I coincidentally took in black and white at this time last year. That 'seize the moment'photo is one of my favorites. Click and see.

SHARED WITH NEW FRIENDS

My birthday's gone for this year and I happily shared the rest of my homemade cake with two new friends from Jordan who traveled back to Belgrade with my son from his recent trip!

FROM SCRATCH

 No boxed mixes for me. Made for a special occasion yesterday.
