ABC WEDNESDAY: "T" is for "thorns"

These long and sharp thorns are Mother Nature's way of saying, "Don't climb me...."

See other T's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Nowadays probably not...

I'm fairly certain this must be some saint blessing or protecting a young boy, but I can't help but think that nowadays no one would dare put this on a facade.  Anyone know who the man in question is?

What lies within....

These young men appeared amused by the poster for the exhibit Bodies Revealed, which is making its debut here in  Belgrade this month.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--Woody Allen quote

"I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens," is a quote credited to Woody Allen.

Someone wrote just that under Branko's Bridge here in Belgrade.

See other bridges, and who knows, maybe a quote, at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

SKYWATCH--burning leaves in Bela Crkva


 On a recent trip to Bela Crkva (White Church), about an hour and a half from Belgrade, I climbed a hill to get a view of the town.  The smoke is from burning leaves.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Heavy...

These are pumpkins, though not the jack o-lantern type.   Inside their flesh is bright orange and about three inches thick.  Too hard to carve for Halloween, but they make excellent pumpkin pies. I have made mine from pumpkins like this for years, ever since I came here.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers. I'm doing Thanksgiving on Sunday, since of course it isn't a holiday here....easier.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"S" is for "stacked"

These boxes are filled with chips and other similar products and aren't heavy, but still.....a balancing act.

See other S's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

There's always someone...or something...

Usually this happens in group portraits, but there's always someone or something, in this case, that his his eyes closed.

Colorful

Hey, fellows!  Would you wear this sweater? I don't dislike it, just that my husband or son wouldn't choose such a bright one.  I love how the colors and shapes echo the icon on the right.


APPLE PAVLOVA CARAMEL SAUCE

 Went to lunch today in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in Provence. This trip to France has been one big dining marathon. Vive la France!
