WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--so many raindrops

Raindrops indeed, but the rain that falls leaves such a beautiful green.....

Do you remember this song by Dee Clark?

No haiku, just a video today!

SKYWATCH--the stork's nest

Here in Serbia storks usually make their nests in chimneys (it's good luck) or on the top of telephone poles.  This one chose a steeple on a church in the Banat region of Serbia.

See other skies and maybe a steeple and another stork on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

Steel blue steeple top

Piercing the white clouds above

Perfect for stork's nest  

THEME DAY--"Squares"

Last Sunday was the 27th Belgrade Marathon and I went to watch the start.  These fellows weren't running of course, but were advertising IDEA, a supermarket chain. 

Today is Theme Day, so have a look at what others have chosen to post.

Daily Haiku

Cubes are simply squares

Six of them put together

Three dimensional 

  

ABC WEDNESDAY--"P" is for "photobombed"

I liked this lady's pink lip boots and her two bags she was carrying with some difficulty.  Snap went my shutter as the pigeon whooshed by to photobomb my photo.

See other Ps on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Daily Haiku

Faster than a blink

Photo ruined or enhanced

By this brazen bird  

Army officers

 From a distance I thought these officers were discussing something about their work, but when I enlarged the photo, I see someone is sharing photos of their kids.

Daily Haiku

Patriotism

Is an admirable trait

Love your children too

  

Le monsieur en bleu....

Several times I've shown you a lady in blue like the one if you click here, and nowhere's a man in blue....

Quite the picture of spring.  You might recognize the juice in my last Thursday's post. It's not the same juice; two people were enjoying this drink!

Daily Haiku

Vision of springtime
Bright blue and lemon yellow
Brightening up our streets

SKYWATCH--Syma-trees

These two trees don't form a real symmetry, but thought they were close enough, along with the two benches below.  Chestnut trees, with those conical blossoms. My mother and I used to call them 'ice cream cone' trees, since they reminded us of Dairy Queen's soft-serve ice cream.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

White chestnut blossoms

Remind me of ice cream cones

Fragrant vanilla   

The disembodied hand

Ah, a disembodied hand like the disembodied arm I showed you before.

The juice looks good, doesn't it?

Daily Haiku

"Piano fingers"

My mother used to tell me

But I never learned

  

ABC WEDNESDAY--"O" is for "original"

This has to be one of the more original gift packs I've seen.  These 'sausages' are actually dark chocolate made to look like sausages.

I like sausages...but I like chocolate better.  The price is 860 dinars, which comes out to just a little over $10.00  (US).

Daily Haiku

Melting dark and sweet

With hazelnuts or just plain

Chocolate's my vice

See other O's on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Kids

Balloons, a piece of clover, lead figures....  What interested you as a kid?

Daily Haiku

Caught up in the rush

Oh, for the simplicity

Of childhood days

The moss beside the stairs

Another one of my little Minox Classic 5.1 shots.  Stairs in Kalemegdan Park, looking very vintage, but then again, they are!

Daily Haiku

The old monk was asked,

How did you cross the mountain?

"One step at a time."
