ABC WEDNESDAY--"R" is for "red rose"

My love is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June : My love is like the melody That’s sweetly played in tune...... ....And fare thee weel, my only love, And fare thee weel a while ! And I will come again, my love, Thou’ it were ten thousand mile.  So wrote Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet. Do you have or have you ever had a love that is like a red, red rose?

Too much of a good thing....

 

Lush, an international cosmetic company, has several stores around Belgrade.These doggie-paw soaps are being sold to encourage spaying and neutering, something that is not so popular here.The sign in the background reads "Too much sex can be a bad thing."

Your opinion? ;<)

Nothing without Serbia!

Caught sight of this sign at a recent street fair.  These are typical Serbian shoes, still worn in places around the country and for special occasions like folk dancing.  You can read the English on the sign, and the word "Bre" (pronounced 'breh') is one of those words that doesn't so much mean anything by itself, but is thrown in for emphasis, something like 'man'.  The plums are a symbol of Serbia, since they're used for anything from brandy to pastries.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--Tennis, anyone?

Weather's good, courts are open all around, like this one in Kalemegdan Park.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--still hard times

Still hard times for many.

SKYWATCH --The hole in the sky

That's what it looks like; a big hole.

Got milk?

Never a dull moment downtown. This cow and her trainer (I do not know why he is dressed in a green body suit; I thought he was supposed to be a blade of grass..) were getting ready to shoot a commercial for milk.

This post goes out to my cow-loving friend from San Francisco, Louis La Vache.

ABC WEDNESDAY : "Q" is for "quaquaversal"

Can you put yourself in this position? I know I can't, but then again, either can the seated fellow in the photo.  Although it looks like he is very quaquaversal in this photo (going in every which direction), it's actually a friend lying on the bench.  But at first glance...

Got change for a fifti?

Keep an eye out for those counterfeit bills! (And learn who's on which bill, too!) Somebody didn't do his homework here, with Honest Abe (here, not so honest) front and center instead of Ulysses S. Grant.  And don't you just love the 'fiftidollars'?

This bill was on display at a recent exhibit at the National Bank of Serbia.

Two walks of life....

Sometimes when you catch a street shot you're trying too hard to get just that particular shot, which was what I was doing when I snapped this nun with her Adidas bag and athletic shoes.  But the lady behind her is walking almost identically, but that's where the resemblance stops.  Two very different 'walks' of life.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--a plethora of bridges

You pick which bridge of this plethora of bridges you like best on this photo taken from Kalemegdan.
And if you don't know what a plethora is, watch this clip from a movie I still enjoy... See other bridges on Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.
