Here I am playing with my food again. Actually, this carrot was never eaten, since you can see it had been lounging in my vegetable basket for too long.... I talked my son into lending his fingers for this photo. See another unusual carrot here , and see how else I play with my food by clicking
These girls help each other on their inline skates. And who says it's only drivers who text while they're in motion...?
I love cacti, but if I buy the tiny ones, they never seem to make it. I brought this bigger fellow home and decided I'd have a little fun with him. He's ogling the geraniums on my terrace and sports a šajkača, a typical Serbian hat that you can see here.
Last Friday a romantic young Belgrader wanted to do something special for his girlfriend of one year. With the help of a friend who owns a restaurant, he arranged for that friend to set up a small table and two chairs on Branko's Bridge from where this photo was taken. The friend was to serve the surprised young lady and her boyfriend dinner from his restaurant while they both enjoyed a view of the sun setting over the Sava Bridge that you see here. True love never runs smooth, and a concerned motorist called the police when the restaurant owner was setting up the table and chairs, assuming he was going to jump (?). The police put a damper on the boyfriend's plan, but not the romance, and the two lovers + the owner headed to his restaurant. (Sorry for the blur, but despite my having used a tripod, there's a lot of vibration from traffic on Branko's Bridge!)
Came across these carefully stacked roof tiles in a town not far away. They're waiting to be put back on the roof of a house that's having some repair done. I like it when people make an attempt to keep the original building materials on old houses, insofar as possible. Thrifty and pretty at the same time.
This graffiti is on one of the side entrances to Saint Marko's church downtown, and reads, "What do you believe?"
A few weeks ago we had a major rainstorm, and this is the rainbow that appeared over a still dark sky afterwards.
Frequent readers may think red is my favorite color, but it isn't. I am just fascinated when I see people wear it well. This lady was strolling down Belgrade's pedestrian street, oblivious to the looks of passers-by....well, maybe she was enjoying the looks of the passers-by.
A weekend trip to the country yielded this photo of 'quite a fork'. A hayfork, I believe!
Nothing at all to do with Stendahl's novel 'The Red and the Black' other than the title. These two young women were attentively listening to an animal rights group's speaker downtown on Sunday's Europe Day celebration. Serbia is not yet a member of the European Union, but would like to be. To do so, Serbia has to meet EU requirements, and one is the humane treatment of animals. Although both of these girls appear to be wearing leather boots and perhaps a leather skirt (the speaker was ranting about not eating meat or wearing leather), one has a faux-fur purse!Walking back home from viewing the eclipse the other night, I passed these young people in our park.
