SKYWATCH--red sky

This is one of those photos I thought I'd junk, but despite the blur, I like it.

Happy Birthday...to the one on the right!

 Oh, my....time flies.... and it wasn't so long ago, or so it seems, that my daughter, whose birthday it is today, was just as small as her son, Luka, now just over five months old.

I get all weepy thinking how short of a time we are all here and how we should enjoy every moment.

Happy Birthday to you, daughter of mine.  Mama loves you...and yours.

Now you see him, now you don't.




Dositej  Obradović  (DOSS-ee-tay o-BRA-doe-vitch) (1742 –1811) was a Serbian author, philosopher, linguist, traveler, polyglot and the first minister of education of Serbia. Above are two versions of his statue!

SUNDAY BRIDGES--a cow, a man, a bridge....

What could be better for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES than a cow and a bridge...and a man thrown in as well?

That's the bridge to Pancevo in the background that you've seen a few times before.

And do you remember this post from long ago and far away? Another cow....a woman...and a bridge.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--twice shot

"Shot" this man while he was absorbed in using his cell phone....and inadvertently shot myself, too.

See other reflections at JAMES' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

SKYWATCH--It's not a water tower, Daryl.

My 'blister' (=blogger sister, according to Daryl in New York City) features 'Water Tower Wednesday', which I've never been able to contribute to since there aren't any here, at least the kind on top of buildings that abound in NYC.

So this will have to do. I honestly don't know its purpose...some sort of view tower? And the PUB is not a pub, but rather initials I can't locate the meaning for.

Anyway, on Wednesdays go see Daryl's Water Tower Wednesday. Actually, stop in any day.

Where do you buy your newspaper, if you still do?

I still buy a paper newspaper rather than read online. A local one, at least; American ones I read online.

But my online versions don't have a smiling person like Mladje, my local newspaper man.  (And yes, I gave him a photo!)

ABC WEDNESDAY--"N" is for "Niš"

Pretty spooky.  These skulls are part of a gruesome tower built by the Turks after the Battle of Cegar Hill (CHEH-gar) near the city of Nis (NEESH) in 1809.

This warning to future Serbian rebels was erected using over 900 skulls of slain Serbs, but only 52 remain.  Check out the whole story on this site.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple...I think....

MELON TIME

 No surprise to tell you it has been darn hot here--high 90s, slipping into 100s from time to time. I indulge in melons, all kinds, from wat...
