ABC Wednesday= "D" is for 'Dragonfly"

...and that's one big dragonfly, sitting on top of a water fountain in the Eastern Serbian town of Pirot we visited not long ago. The big bug's all metal, including its mesh wings, but I couldn't find any other info about it. People I asked didn't know who designed it or why, and there was no plaque. Behind the dragonfly to the right is "Beograd," one of a now defunct (another d!) socialist chain of department stores around Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. They've been bought out (privatized) by I believe some Greek store chain, so we'll see what they do with them.

YORKIE IN THE WINDOW

This little fellow belongs to the lady who owns this dress shop. Sweet pup, but I think he envied my dog walking outside with me.
