PENSIVE...


 At first I thought this young woman was pensive, reflecting on her day, her life....  but then when I stood up to leave, I saw she was typing on a small tabler. Pensively, of course.

HOW TIME FLIES


 It wasn't so very long ago when both my little granddaughters could wear slippers like these.

How time flies...

MONDAY MURALS--"DO YOU REALLY HEAR A CRY?"


 The title of this post translates what is written at the top of this mural, though I don't really understand what the relationship between the art and the question is.  If you do, enlighten me, please.

"THIS IS JUST TO SAY...."


These plums, ice-cold from the refrigerator, were my breakfast this morning, along with my coffee.  While enjoying their just-right sourness, I thought of the poem by William Carlos Williams:  (This kind of plum is Serbia's national fruit, used from raw, dumplings, all the way to shitovitz, Serbia's plum brandy.)

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which 
you
were probably 
saving for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and cold

NOTHING LIKE A REALLY COLD BEER


 I only drink beer in really hot weather, and need I tell you it has been REALLY hot. Had a beer last night (the Staropramen  one, a Czech beer) in a Niksicko beer (Serbian) glass, all frosted, though the frost effect had worn off here.  All this at my favorite cafe where there is an older crowd and NO blaring music.  Yes, I am getting to be an old fogey in some ways.  The peanuts were good, too.

HAIKU COFFEE

 


I like to write haiku, but haven't in ages. Seeking inspiration at a café.

THE RESTAURANT


 A very popular Belgrade restaurant during the day, but not so crowded at night.

THE ENTRANCE


 It is stinking hot here and temps will rise to the 100-degree+ by the weekend. Perhaps subconsciously it's for this reason that I have been shooting in black and white. Colors are 'hot'.  Also, in this case, when you enter an older building, you're immediately cooled off by 10-15 degrees.

MONDAY MURALS--YOU DIRTY RAT!


 No idea of the significance of the 1947 date.  I googled the signature or reference, too, but to no avail.

SPRING PREPARES FOR FALL
