COFFEE TIME
Given that the Turks were in many parts of the former Yugoslavia for nearly 500 years, it's logical that some of their customs remained. Such is the case with 'Turkish' coffee. The cups are not typical, but the little pot with a long handle, a dĹžezva (pronounced JEZZ-vah) is. Here in Serbia though I have never seen one with a top, but imagine that it was added to keep the coffee hot. On second thought, it might belong to the teapot on the left, but couldn't fit on the shelf.

BLACK AND WHITE SPARKLY
On one of our gloomier days recently, I spotted this balloon seller who seemed to emit his own light.

SHADOWS HAVING FUN
I guess this might be more silhouette than shadow, but I am sure there are some shadows there...on the ceiling?
See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

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

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!

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.

BEARDED
Of course people can choose their hairstyle and in a man's case, beard style. Personally, I do not mind beards, but for me they have to ...
