SUNDAY BRIDGES--Seeing Double Part II

This photo above of two bridges on the way to the natural reserve of Carska Bara may remind you of this earlier post of mine.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Waiting for goose goulash

Went to the Zasavica Nature reserve on a recent road trip.  In one of the reserve's ethno houses, they serve a delicious goose goulash in these ceramic bowls...at least I'm fairly certain it was delicious...  I was traveling with someone who didn't want to try it and that specialty is all they had, so next time for me.

Is that me in the reflections?  Not sure...

Can you spot the fly?

SKYWATCH--Hey! Hay!

I've always been fascinated how different countries stack, roll, or bale their hay.  Someone passed on to me once a blog of a man who posted photos of just this, but I can't find it...

These big rolls were stacked along a road to Obedska Pond on a recent road trip.

He would have been proud...

A bittersweet post today.... Today marks the 4th anniversary of my husband's passing, something my children and I still have difficulty coming to terms with.  Above are my two grandchildren, Mila, now just over one, and Luka, who is a little over three months old.

He would have been so proud....

Two more from BELEF


Two more night shots from a recent performance of street players during Belgrade's summer festival, BELEF. The fellow in the bottom photo was using his camera, too!

Rust and shadows

While in the town of Trstenik the other week, I caught these shadows of part of a fence surrounding a church.

Sunday Bridges--Obedska Pond

Just last week I showed you a photo of a bridge in the Obedska Pond area," and now here is one in another natural reserve called Imperial Pond. Imperial Pond (Carska Bara) is located 17 kilometers south of Zrenjanin, in west-central Serbia, and is the country's largest individual bog.

Off to the town of Niš this weekend...what bridges await me there?

Weekend Reflection--the birthday balloon

A plastic tubing of lights reflects on a tent top decorated with red balloons at a birthday party I recently attended.

SKYWATCH--comin' home

Snapped this in the town of Kupinovo, Serbia, through which I recently traveled.  Many, many storks nest here. They're said to bring good luck.  Here's one stork, or rather its shadow, on its way home.

Time for a haircut...

I thought this girl was real at first, but she's just another one of the statues from Belgrade's summer art festival, BELEF.  You've seen a close-up of the statues in the fountain here. At first she seemed to me to be envying  the other statues cooling off.  But, surprise, have a look at the photo below.  Doesn't seem she sees them at all.

DANCING IN THE DARK

 Walking back home from viewing the eclipse the other night, I passed these young people in our park.
