SKYWATCH---very pale

Another shot with my tiny Minox on a drizzly day today.  The sky really is that pale....

See other skies, some brighter, on SKYWATCH.

Texting...

Snapped this girl texting downtown.  She's standing between newly-installed 'park your dog' signs.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"F" is for "fiery"

Fiery hot!  But this pepper wasn't.  Serbian peppers like this are either sweet ones (not hot) or really hot (not this one....).

But the red makes it look hot....maybe even sexy.

Solitude

Solitude....no more words necessary.

Angels are watching.

Do you believe in guardian angels?  Some do. I wonder if this man has one, other than the great big one watching him here.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY---my foot in the morning

Never bored with my camera; told you that before.  Here's my foot early in the a.m.......

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS---no more....

The kafana (a bit like a French brasserie) Zora, which means 'dawn', was once a place where university students gathered for a good, inexpensive meal.

Zora, like so many other Belgrade landmarks, has slipped into oblivion, and only its name remains....a pale imitation of its former self.

"Close me. Thank you."

But no one did.....  Should have written, "Pretty-please."

ABC WEDNESDAY--"E" is for "Eat me" or....ewwww.....

There's a place in Belgrade's Bohemian quarter, Skadarlija, that has been around for years.  For many years, they baked the best bread and sold various cheese-type spreads to make sandwiches with the bread.  Yum.

They also made goulash, served in the fashion you see above. They still make it.....but I stopped in around 10 a.m. after my dog walk, just starving. Ordered one.  It was really good, but the beef was nowhere to be found....there were sliced kidneys....which I don't mind; ate it all.  The sign said 'goulash', to be fair, but no mention of kidneys....

Two ladies and a dog

Two and a half men yesterday, now two ladies with a dog. Sorry for the blur.  Had my 11-16 with me, and they were across the street, so this is a big crop.

Two and a half men

From the sit-com comes the title. This is another hip shot of mine, not unnoticed.... I'm sorry I couldn't get all three of these men in. I should have just been bold and asked for a photo (in exchange for a beer for them).  When I do that, though, people often strike strange, frozen poses.

In any case, what caught my eye was their natural poses.  There's some trace of elegance in them; hands folded just so, legs crossed....
