ABC WEDNESDAY "F" is for 'fur'

This snow is a couple of weeks old, and recently the temperatures have been springlike.

You still see fur coats here, the real stuff.

How about where you live?

How many little lives 

Were given to make this coat

Wool coats are warm too

Jaywalking

It was Sunday a.m. when I took this photo, and not many cars were on the street, but this woman, whom I've shown you before chose to jaywalk across the street.

She seems to be wearing footwear that are more like slippers, and fortunately that day she didn't have to  hurry.  When I uploaded the photo, I noticed the sneakers on the bus behind her...

Daily Haiku

Steadily she walks

Determined, independent

As when she was young

 

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. 

Daily Haiku

 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.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

Daily Haiku

Stones stacked one by one

Higher rises the thick wall

Impenetrable  

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...

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

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
