MY TULIPS ARE GONE

 Received tulips the other day....and now they're gone.

P..S.  It snowed today! Noooooo!

KENTUCKY FRIED KISS---no calories

I am really surprised this photo turned out as well as it did. I was across the square at quite a distance with only a 50mm.  Major crop.

Kisses are better for you than fried chicken.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--SIDE STREET

 A downtown sidestreet full of shadows....

THEME DAY--MY FAVORITE TOY(s)

 Today is April 1st. For many people that means April Fools' Day. It does for me, too, but being a City Daily Photo blogger, the first of the month means Theme Day.

This month's theme is My Favorite Toy, a STEIFF TEDDY BEAR,  named Teddy, who's been with me since I was eight years old and my newer 'toy,' my Nikon Z50 mirrorless. Teddy used to have the trademark button in his ear, but I didn't like it as a child and so off it went. I pressed my teddy's tummy so hard and so often that he no longer growls. 

My camera of course isn't really a toy, but I enjoy 'playing' with it, so I had to include it.

See many more bloggers' toys at THEME DAY.

SKYWATCH--NIGHT CLOUDS

 Loved the unusual contrast of these white, fluffy clouds against the dark sky.

RESTRICTED ENTRY

 And there I stood. No ice cream, no hamburger, no cigarette...just me and my dog....and my camera, so I couldn't go in, so I did the next best thing: Click!

RIPPED

 I know it's  been the fashion for some time now, but I still don't 'get it'.  This girl's jeans are a moderate version of the 'more holes than jeans' I see more often.

NAPTIME

 Been awfully warm...if this fellow is like me, sudden increases in temperature make me sleepy...

AN URBAN STILL LIFE

 Quite often I come across urban still-lifes.  This one I liked for the composition and the reds and grays. Taken down by construction of Belgrade's new neighborhood Belgrade on the Water.

THE DAY AFTER...AND THE DAYS ONWARD

Last evening, March 24th in 1999 at around 7:41 p.m. the NATO bombing of Serbia began. I was here the whole time, not alone. My friend Marianne Neufeld-Djordjevic today photographed siren that emitted the twin sisters Šizela and Smirela that announced the beginning and ending of the curfew. Their names come from two verbs meaning 'to go crazy, panic and to calm down.

SPRING

 Like the new green grass around him, this fellow looks like he's growing new hair.  I remember how happy I was to see my own new growth after my chemo in 2005. Not sure that's the reason for his short hair.
