WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the purse shop

Caught this lady reading the paper on a slow day in her purse shop on Balkanska Street, a street known for its many artisan shops....which are rapidly disappearing.

The heat's on....

Steam puffs from the New Belgrade heating plant across the river.  Not to fear; we in the old town get heated, too....

All spiffed up for the New Year

Today is Serbian New Year's Day and these two dogs are spiffed up for the New Year.  I like this because it's a good sign that someone takes care of them and that they aren't just street dogs.

And hey, this guy  still hasn't invited me in....Remember this post?

ABC WEDNESDAY--"A" is for "all together"

 A view of a tightly packed tram in Prague, Czech Republic.

MONDAY MURALS--shades....

A mural in New Belgrade above the then new-fallen snow,, which is now all gone.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Prague train station

While waiting in our bus to depart for a day trip to Dresden, Germany, I 'shot' this woman looking through a window of the Prague railroad station.

Jazzy nails

I am sure that most of you photobloggers would agree that we are never bored with our camera.  I always find something to photograph, even while seated in the bus.   This time it was a bus to Prague, where I went with a friend for New Year's.

The young woman these nails belong to was seated across from me....snap, snap discreetly, though I am fairly certain she wouldn't have objected if I had asked.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"Z" is for "Zapata"

I haven't been posting in the first few days of the New Year, because I was in Prague.  I'll try to get back on track soon, and visit you, too.

I zoomed in on this fellow through the window of  a Prague grocery store.  He's pretty concerned about his mustache, that for sure will never be like Emilio Zapata's. Catch other Zs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Sweep my chimney...

When she saw a handsome man, my grandmother used to say, "He can put his shoes under my bed any time!" (Go, grannie, go!)

I'll paraphrase her by saying this chimney sweep can sweep my chimney anytime....oh, if I only had a chimney....

ABC WEDNESDAY--"Y" is for "yesteryear"

"Yesteryear" is nearly upon us, with only one more day left in 2015.

These teddies were undoubtedly much loved by someone long ago.

Did you have a similar one, or other favorite stuffed toy?
