THE MIMOSA SELLER


 There are apparently 600 kinds of mimosa ranging from trees to shrubs. Here in Serbia these yellow flowers, symbols of spring, are imported from the coast. They cheer people up with their bright yellow color.

It may not be so close to spring yet by the calendar, but our changing climate says differently.

LOST


 Lost among the  leaves...I looked around for a child nearby, but there was no one in sight at all.

SNACK


 Reasonably warm weather due to climate change, so this couple opted for a snack in the park.

TEXTING


 Usce (OOOSH-chay) Park (meaning mouth, as for a river) is Belgrade's largest park, stretching along the Danube. You don't see it in this photo, but there are many trees, paths...

These two seem oblivious to nature today. I hope ony today.

FOGGY


 Woke up at 7 and opened my shutters to view thick fog. I kind of like fog; it's mysterious. Now it is gone...

OW.


 I am always surprised that succulents outside do so well in the window. While trying to move in closer, I got poked by one of the 'leaves'. Ow.

SITTING IN ZRENJANIN

 


From my archives. It's cold and icy outside and I am afraid of slipping and falling....

AN UNKNOWN SAMARITAN


 The sign on a sidewalk above an overpass reads "Careful!  Slippery!".  And it was. I gingerly ventured out, holding onto the orange railing and armed with my hiking stick. I took a mini-slip and cautiously turned around and went back.

Ever grateful to this kind but unknown samaritan.

SHALL WE DANCE?


 Went to get some photos framed the other day. I hadn't been to my framer in a long time, since I am running out of wall space....  This is a new building that had been under construction since my last visit to my framer and it is now finished, though not occupied yet. Its wavy lines recalled THE DANCING HOUSE in Prague. Perhaps a distant cousin (wink).

CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK....OF ICE


 Nippy this morning on my dog walk!  Our nearby park has several sources of water and are frozen solid. Except of course for one place. I imagine some kids broke the ice last night, scattering pieces everywhere like shattered glass.  I liked this chunk. It looks like a very large diamond....

SPRING PREPARES FOR FALL

 Title says it all!
