Watch out! Who's that sneaking up on Nikola Pasic? A tall Saudi lady? The Grim Reaper? (No, Nikola Pašić died in 1926.) I'm not quite sure who or what it is, but I'll go back and see when he/she/its has cast aside the black wrap.
Is this chic or what? This young woman and her elegant friend were kind enough to post for me the other day downtown. They're both well-dressed for street slush and rain. Who says people don' t resemble their dogs? (But, unlike Bibi, I do not have an underbite!)
Were you right in guessing 'a mushroom' yesterday? I was playing with my food again. I love mushrooms, all kinds (edible...) and if you would like a killer recipe for the BEST mushroom soup, click right here!
Time for a little game! Any ideas what this is? Maybe easy, maybe not.
Terazije (Teh-RAHZ-ee-yeh) Theatre (read more here) is a very popular theater, showing fabulous musicals, for the most part. You can't see its entrance here, but on this large square is the back of the theater, which I'd never really paid attention to before. But look! Up out of the flat stones of the square rises this elevator that loads and unloads heavy props. I was fascinated to see it rise, since I never even knew it existed.
I think these boots are kind of cute, but not for the icky slush and rain we've been having. Too hairy!
Are you tired of gray where you live? I am. This is the best I can do this week for SKYWATCH
This photo was taken before our major snow, which fortunately is nearly melted now. This man has all sorts of candles for sale, from beeswax ones and votive candle holders to place on a grave to colored paraffin candlesin the colors of the Serbian flag, plus purple and pink, from what I can see. I like the little candle couple in Serbian dress.
Few people own dryers here, opting to dry their clothes on a clothesline in their yard or porch or else draped over radiators indoors. While walking Bibi the other evening in nearly one foot of snow and at -3 Celsius, I came upon these socks put out to dry. I imagine that may happen only next April. I have a dryer, but use it only in the winter (now!) and between midnight and 8 a.m., when electricity is cheapest, to save energy. The owner of these socks is saving energy too, but I hope he has extra pairs inside to wear.
A bouquet of roses is what my son surprised me with on Valentine's Day. Even though each rose was a lovely mix of pale pink and white, I decided to post this photo in black and white for you.
You know the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Belgrade was given more snow, almost a foot the other day, and so everyone was out making snowmen! Bibi, who's being held by the little girl in the pink snowsuit, loves the snow...I am back in Belgrade.... But my suitcase is not! 😯😔 A short connection in Charles de Gaulle airport is most likely the cause, andc here ...
