Making an impression


I am not sure whether this shoe print was intended to look like a tennis racket...sort of....but it looks like one to me.  Caught my eye anyway.  And I guess that's the maker's point, if anyone really cares if their soles make an impression of either kind.

Dancing the kolo




Two weeks ago in Tasmajdan Park there was the annual Honey Fair.  There's always music and dancing, too, as you can see by this group of young dancers performing traditional dances, including the ever-and-most popular kolo.

No time to talk?


People have lots of time to talk, but probably few use these 'real' phones anymore...

I don't even have a fixed phone and can't remember when I last used a phone booth.  How about you?

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY - "LAV" MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND



Shadows of leaves, stubbornly still clinging to a nearby tree, seen through the canvas umbrellas advertising LAV (lion) beer.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

SKYWATCH--the Modern Art Museum


Snapped this sunset behind the Modern Art Museum in New Belgrade from across the river from the same vantage point about an hour or so after I took this photograph.

Extra-large


Ice cream!  The bigger, the better.  The swirled buds on this huge plaster ice cream cone resemble the ornaments on the roof of the National Theater behind it.

Those 'rocks' you see really are rocks or something similar, but are meant to resemble the little crunchies you get on this cone....in a smaller size.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"M" is for "magnify"


I think this fellow may have forgotten his glasses and is using....what, exactly, to read his paper...

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

NOTE!  I've added a contact form to the right, just above the clock...see?  Makes it easier for you to contact me. 

(Special  note to Tomas of Madrid:  if you want me to answer you directly, you need to change your settings, since when I click 'reply' on your comment, it comes up "noreply@blogger.com".) With the form, you'll be entering your email anyway, so that would work.

SPRING PREPARES FOR FALL
