STILL A BIT CHILLY
It was still a bit chilly when I snapped this candid shot. Even so, this lady was still a bit overdressed.

MONDAY MURALS--under the eye of The Little Prince
This mural graces one of the walls of Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in downtown Belgrade. Vladislav Ribnikar was a journalist and founder of Serbia's most respected newspaper, Politika.
This school has had since 1927 a French program offering six classes per week starting in first grade (other schools begin a foreign language in grade three), with teachers from France.
It's understandable then why the mural featuring Antoine de Saint-Exupery's THE LITTLE PRINCE presides over the schoolyard.

Truthfully, this is not a winter photo. It was taken about two weeks ago near Kovin, Serbia. Still too wintry-looking for me. Bring on the warmer weather! (Today it IS warm!)

THE PRIEST WHO WAITS
This photo was taken on the sly from across the street and was cropped. I was testing my new mirrorless camera's abilities. The priest looks a little put-out; perhaps whoever he's waiting for is late...

THE DRAGONS OF MY CHILDHOOD
There is only one brass dragon shown here, but I have two of these candle holders. They belonged to my great-grandmother.
This post is for DRAGONSTAR, who often comments on my blog and with whom I've made contact.

WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE--I don't want your bag
Snapped this lady from quite a distance. She'd just gotten off the bus and is still clutching her bag....
I didn't want to take her bag; just her photo, and I got that.

SKYWATCH--speed kills
Of course this car didn't fly into this wall, but speed is a big problem here. Like not wearing masks, drivers flaunt the speed limits mercilessly...
