Ready to jump or....?

Passers-by, beware!

Is this little 'cherub' preparing

 to jump on you

or

to something-else on you?

SUNDAY BRIDGES--Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge"

Well, here I am stretching it again a bit (a lot).  This gorgeous, deadly-hot chili pepper was given to me at the open market the other day instead of some small change when I bought some tomatoes.

I didn't have a post for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES, so I figured a Google with "Pepper Bridge" might do the trick, and lo and behold, up came the song and group in the title.

Weekend Reflections--two types of mineral water

The bubbles on the bottle on the left are from a bubbly mineral water, and the reflections on the right are from a non-bubbly water!

SKYWATCH--Keep an eye on those trees

Noticed these trees while walking downtown. I hope nobody gets close enough up there on the terrace to give those pots a shove.

THEME DAY--Street lamps

Today's theme is street lamps.  I'm stretching this a bit, since these lights are not really exactly on the street, but close!  Anyway, they could be street lamps. I digress.

They're in front of the Nikola Tesla Museum here in Belgrade.  The poster reads that this year marks the 70 years of Nikola Tesla's death. I've shown you him several times before.  Each time I run across him, I wonder why I never, ever learned about him in grade school in the U.S.  If you'd like to know what Nikola Tesla invented that has been attributed to others, check out this site.

ABC WEDNESDAY = "C" is for "curtains"

Kids always seem to think they're invisible when standing behind a curtain. My grandson, Luka, now 14 months, thinks so, and is so delighted when someone 'finds' him.

Time for a drink....

 It was a record 103 degrees here yesterday....  This hamburger stand owner still took the time to refresh his list of soft drinks...  Bet he sold a lot.

Mounted Police

Two of Belgrade's mounted police unit patrolling Kalemegdan Park.  The Belgrade Mounted Police has existed for 60+ years.

What I wanted to do....

What I really wanted to do with this photo was to Photoshop out that tree on the right just a bit in the distance. I think the photo would be better that way...but alas, I have guests and can't get to my big computer where Photoshop lies.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Through the looking glass

This may look like it was taken through a cat's eye marble, but this is a view of my street through a magnifying glass, where the colors of neon signs, street lights, and passing automobiles are reflected.

I have guests...desperate for a photo....

SKYWATCH--the grasshopper who came in from the heat

It's hot, hot, hot here, and next week it's supposed to be in the high nineties-low hundreds.   Too hot for the city.

I found this grasshopper on a tea kettle next to my air conditioner....too hot for him outside, but that's right back where I put him; on my window sill.

And you might remember this song...
