SKYWATCH--In Seattle, can't you tell?

In Seattle through mid-July; new grandson---see yesterday's post.  Note the snazzy new color of the Space Needle, which is actually the way it was when first constructed.

A little sooner than we thought Part II

Nearly one year ago my daughter-in-law gave birth to little Mila, a little sooner than we'd expected, and lo and behold,now my daughter has done the same with baby Luka, born on May 18th, but was due today.  Now Mila has a little cousin.

I'm now in Seattle, and will be posting from here for a while until my return to Belgrade mid-July.

Sweet dreams.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"S" is for "stately"

The other week I visited Princess Ljubica's (LYOO-beet-sa) residence in Belgrade, now a museum.  Princess Ljubica was the mother of Prince Mihailo, whose statue I have shown you many times.  The museum curator, dressed as was the Princess, greets about 30 visitors for coffee with Princess Ljubica," a clever way of making history come to life. She speaks as if the visitors are personal guests, and for a while, you lose yourself in history.

Impressed?

Not sure if this peahen was impressed with her potential mate's display.  A moment after this shot, she just walked off...

"Yes, we have no bananas..."

"Yes, We Have No Bananas" was a 1923 hit song...way before my time, even my mother's.  This fellow has bananas, and is having quite a time pushing his cart.

If you'd like to see and listen to "Yes, We Have No Bananas", watch the video below.

Kitty bridge

Sort of a bridge...maybe a mini-pier....but it'll do. It works for this cat.

See other bridges at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

Body art

"Ow," is all I have to say.  I'm not opposed to body art, either tattoos or piercings, just don't want any.  This figurine is in the window of a piercing and tattoo shop downtown.  For years this space was occupied by Aeroflot, the Russian Airlines.

Pigeon

A pigeon...or is it a dove...perched on a wall in Kalemegdan Park.

Leftover Teddy

 

It's not really the teddy that's leftover, but he's made from leftover yarn. I bought him at a stand in Kalemegdan Park when purchasing some wool sock/slippers for my daughter, son-in-law, and in-laws.  Traveling soon to the US to be with daughter, who's expecting....a boy.  Mila will have a cousin.

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? See other R's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

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? ;<)
