You saw it here first


As far as I know, Belgrade doesn't yet have a Bridge of Lovers' Locks.  There's one in Vrnjacka Banja that's quite impressive.  The other day I came upon this lock, Buby and Beby's, whoever they may be, hanging on the bars of a door of Kalemegdan Park's Roman well.

Let's see how many locks are to follow....

Is there a lock-covered Lovers' Bridge  in your city?

P.S. Just remembered this earlier post of mine about locks.

 Fasten the lock tight
Lovers' names written for all time
Throw away the key

SUNDAY BRIDGES--two for one

Two for one today, to make up for the times I couldn't get a good bridge shot!

Don't know where this smoke was coming from, but I like the way it hovered over both bridges.

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

Daily Haiku
Like a long, gloved hand
Smoke stretches its fingers
To caress the bridge

WEEKEND REFLECTION--golden....

A store window reflects a stone wall across the street.

Stones stacked one by one
Higher rises the thick wall

SKYWATCH--pastels announce spring?

The groundhog saw his shadow, and so we are to have six more weeks of winter...or maybe that's just valid for the US.

Anyway, these pastels remind me of spring, so...

Baby blue, rose pink
Watercolors in the sky
Spring is in the air

Punished pup

Just before I took this photo, the dog had been yelled at for having barked at a passer-by. He was made to sit just so and didn't even move as I walked by.

Daily Haiku
Boundless joy refrained
He sits sorrowful and still
Lonesome and ashamed

ABC WEDNESDAY - "E" is for "Elderly"



Old age....we're all going to get there, unless Fate steps in beforehand.  We'll all need a little support of some kind, as these two people.

Daily Haiku
We'll walk on three legs
Says the riddle of the Sphinx
Treat elders kindly

Random

A random juxtaposition of coat hangers at a stand of a recent street fair.

Daily Haiku
I sigh and wonder
What I should do tomorrow
How to fill my day

It rained last night....


But for me, that's better than snow.

Daily Haiku
Dark skies and gray clouds
Umbrellas of all colors
Bouncing through the streets

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--The other day in the fog

Very foggy the other day.  I was on my cell phone when this man passed me. Something said, 'Turn around!' and so I did.

Hence this photo.

A piece of advice:
Listen to your inner voice 
You'll be rewarded

WEEKEND REFLECTION--two glasses

Title says it all. Playing around with two glasses.

Daily Haiku
Winter days seem long
Photographic laziness
Yields this kind of shot

SKYWATCH--cold and clear

Bibi loves to romp on this knoll, but I'm not venturing up.  Slippery!

Above frozen hill
White clouds, blue sky, leafless trees
Line the horizon 

COUCHER DU SOLEIL SUR LES TOITS

 Well, you can't keep a good blooger down. Said I wouldn't be posting for a while since I am 'out of town, ' but here I am.....
