WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--RAIN'S GOOD FOR REFLECTIONS

 I'm very tired of our rain, but it's good for reflections...and other things.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

SKYWATCH--tilt!

 Of course the buildings aren't tilting; just the perspective twist.

I wish our skies would like this again and that the cold wind and rain would disappear until fall!

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

UNDIES

 First of all, this is from my archives. The weather has been so gloomy, windy, cold, and rainy that there's no way this woman in a nearby village could dry her laundry or sit sleeveless outside.  

I'm still waiting for the sun.

OUT FOR A STROLL

 These girls brightened a gloomy day with their colors. It has been raining quite a lot, but as I type, I dare say I see some sun.

NOT SNOW, BUT MIGHT AS WELL BE

 It's still darn cold and rainy here. However, that is not snow, but rather 'blossoms' from a tree that blow like snowflakes in the spring.

MONDAY MURAL---the zebra

-I saw this zebra through a cafe 'window,' or rather the cafe's partially damaged facade, but could not go in. It may not actually be a mural, but a collaged image.

In any case, it is on a wall, so it's a mural, haha.

Check out other murals at MONDAY MURALS.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS: ME IN A POT

 There I am in the reflection in the now retired kettle at my favorite cafe.

IT'S BEEN WINDY

 

And the tree topples. Always sad to see this. Its fate is that of a horse with a briken leg.

TWO PIGEONS SPOUTING

 These are two of four pigeons that stand below the fountain called "Awakening" in Kalemegdan Park. I've shown you THE ENTIRE FOUNTAIN before. Apparently, these birdies have been spouting water since 1928.

IS ANYONE AWARE ANYMORE?

 I don't know about you, but it's rare that I see someone out for a walk, which I assume this fellow was, and who checks his phone at length i.e. for several minutes and who is oblivious to everything around him. Mind you, he might have been checking the weather forecast, for it started to pour...and pour....and pour, and then a full-blown monsoon with  wind and then hail (okay, no hail in monsoons, but it really pelted me before I could find a place to duck into.

AND THESE ARE CALLED...?

 These statues, leaning against the facade of a building downtown, and whose heads seem to bear the weight of a ledge above, have no name that I could find. They're not caryatids, which are free-standing supports, nor statues in niches, nor are they statues in a tympanum.

In any case, in view of the horrendous May 3rd school shooting in Belgrade (the likes of which had NEVER been seen before), and another punk-criminal shooting in a nearby town the following day, these statues seem to be  bearing the country's grief.
