ABC WEDNESDAY "C" is for "classy"

A late-night discovery while I was returning from a wine bar. A beautiful entrance.

MONDAY MURALS

I love turtles and tortoises. I know there's a difference, but I call them all turtles.

SHOE REPAIR

This shoe repairman (obucar=O-boo-char) offers various services from changing heels to dyeing leather.

It's the sneaker that attracted me...

ABC WEDNESDAY "B" is for " bršljan"

" Bršljan" (BURSH-lyan) is the Serbian word for "ivy," and it's perfect for today's ABCWEDNESDAY.   These shots were taken of two different houses, but each appears to be lived in. Ivy is really desctructive for walls, though...

Twins

These two ladies live across the street from me, and I often see them out on their balcony. They're always neat as a pin (ok, as pinS!), not a hair out of place. This time they were out watching the weekly demonstration that takes place every Friday...protesting the current government, of course. No end in sight, so I'll be seeing a lot more of them.

MONDAY MURALS--The Mermaid

A mermaid sadly surrounded by plastic bottles...

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY -- Turret

There are a number of turrets on corners of older buildings here, and I find them fascinating. Would like to live in one....

This one was rather ordinary looking, but it made for a nice shadow.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Staint-Remy-de-Provence

Short on local reflections and this is a baaad phone photo. Bear with me.

Beautiful cafe facade in Saint-Remy-de-Provence where I traveled recently.

SKYWATCH--Friday Harbor, Washington

Running short on local skies, so here is one from my friends' place in Washington state. I'll be visiting them again soon!

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Bread and buns

There's a chain of bakers in town called Lebovski, perhaps referring to the cult film "The Great Lebowski," but also because the Serbian word for 'bread' is 'hleb,' often said rapidly as '  'leb.'

In any case, they make terrific bread. Here's their site, only in Serbian, if you'd like to have a read/look.

ABC WEDNESDAY: "A" is for "Alone, but not bored...."

This little old lady was deeply engrossed in a crossword puzzle, and didn't notice I was taking her photo. I love  how she daintily holds her cigarette.
