HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

Today is Madhu's third birthday....and I had no photo for my blog, so...... (Yes, I know she needs a facial trim!--no time for that either right now.)

PLAYGROUND ABSTRACT

 A playground abstract that recalled the artist PIET MONDRIAN.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY --THE WAITER

 A waiter waiting. Just him and a few shadows and even fewer customers on a hot afternoon.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

BUILDINGS WITHIN A BUILDING

 Old, Sixties-era buildings reflected in a modern building in New Belgrade.

See other reflections on WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

SKYWATCH--OFF THE ROOF

 Another 'off the roof' shot of my friend's neighborhood. She has a lovely rooftop terrace and is lucky to be able to cool off there during summer heat.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

OLD AND NEGLECTED

 Many urban neighborhoods here used to look much nicer.  Landscaping was better maintained, playground equipment was better taken care of...

These old,  neglected stairs led from a play area to yet another, which has now disappeared behind the bushes.

LITTLE GIRL WITH RED BALLOON

 This little girl, her parents, and her friends celebrated her birthday at a restaurant on a pedestrian street downtown. I think she is dressed like Elsa in Frozen.  She abandoned her friends for quite a while and played with her heart balloon.

STINK-EYE

 This is a very cropped photo from far away and honestly, I don't think this lady was looking directly at me. Both of these women were watching passers-by, especially young female students who were heading toward the university.  Most like many young girls nowadays were not sporting attire that these ladies would approve of....hence the  disapproving stink-eye.

SIX-PACK

 I see this lady very often in the park. She has six dogs. Four you can see here (the litttle fellow to the right isn't hers) and the other two are hidden in front of her.

She must have a good heart. They are/were all street dogs.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY---the chair and the glass

Just what the caption says. At a cafe where I enjoyed a beer with a friend.

THE WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE

 An early morning conversation before the heat of the day.
