Rain

Raining here in Seattle.  So what's new?

It's winter--eat some cheese.

Am in Seattle visiting my daughter, who's expecting Baby #2.  A trip to Whole Foods yielded this shot.  I love cheese, all  kinds, and will definitely be indulging.

I am not a football fan, but speaking of cheese, the Seattle Seahawks defeated Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers today, whose fans are known as Cheeseheads.  On to the Super Bowl!

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--no sittin' around for me

No sitting around for me. Some of you know that I have been in Seattle now for four days, visiting my daughter and family who are preparing for the arrival of Baby #2 (a girl) at the end of February.  I hope she will be an Aquarius like her grandmother, but she'll need to make the scene by the 18th.

After Seattle, if all goes well, I'll be going to India for a month and a half, then back to Seattle to await the arrival  of my son and family for a big family get-together.

Don't think I'll be using this bench in Kalemegdan Park a lot...

SKYWATCH---Overcast.....

Same old bridges as many times before, with the concentration camp tower in the foreground.  Gray day...need I say?

Through a dirty window

Nothing like a bright, sunny day to make windows look just awful if they're not sparkling clean....

Prosveta (Education) is one of Belgrade's oldest publishing houses.

If you're wondering about the paintings, they have an art gallery upstairs from where I took this photo many moons ago.

ABC WEDNESDAY '"A" is for "A"....or "Accidental A"

Yay!  Been waiting a long time to post this one I took last summer in the park.

An Accidental A.

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

Strong wind.

Well, of course the wind didn't bend these posts, but I got you eye, didn't I?

More like a heavy vehicle took the turn too short.

Nippy morning.

I've never been as sick as I have this past fall/winter. One cold after another, cough, sore throat, earache; you name it:  I've had it.  Now I have a touch of laryngitis.

Have to walk the dog though, so I bundle up and go, distance depending on my degree of illness.

BLACK AND WHITE...mostly

I am having déjà vu with this one....I hope I  haven't posted it before.  From my archives.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--disappearing

Balkanska Street downtown used to be known for its many artisan shops like this leather shop. There were milliners, sewing shops, all kinds of places where you could find just what you want.  These shops have for the most part disappeared.

These dog collars are not state-of-the-art, but do the job.
