Sharing the load...?

I had to chuckle as I took this photo....this couple is indeed sharing a load, but perhaps not quite fairly. They looked happy though, and didn't seem to mind. Genie published a similar photo last Saturday at Paris and Beyond.

Theme Day--Transportation

November already and a new theme day! This photo is a drive-by shooting. I was stopped at a red light and noticed this urban still life beside me. The tires on this bus look pretty good, and I love the bus's color, but that rust....

SUNDAY BRIDGES-and HALLOWEEN!!

Nothing like combining two fun themes--bridges and Halloween. In the background you can see the arch of the old Sava Bridge and just in front, Branko's Bridge, both of which I've featured several times before. I was lucky to be able to capture these Halloween guys who were only to happy to pose for me. The cat gave Bibi the evil eye, so she didn't chase it...

Check out more bridges and maybe a ghost or two on Louis La Vache's Sunday Bridges.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND

I liked the composition that Mother Nature made, and she even included some reflections for me. I also like the 'smoking kills' warning on the ashtray. New laws are coming into effect forcing cafe and restaurant owners to make non-smoking sections in their places of business. I've posted 'smoking' photos several times, like here, and can only hope Those In Power will enforce the law.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--Alexander Pushkin's statue

I'm always amazed at the number of statues around town. This one is to the memory of Alexander Pushkin, who appears to have had a great interest in Serbian traditions. That alone, but especially along with his reputation as a great poet, was reason enough to erect this statue in his honor. There's also a street named for him, too!

Hound in the hoosegow

This dog looked after Bibi and me so forlornly as we passed by him, all locked up in the 'hoosegow.' If you're not familiar with this word, which my grandfather loved to use, check out its meaning right here.

Note: He was in there with some workers, who were painting the interior of what will probably be a small shop.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "Out for breakfast"

This lady is enjoying breakfast of hot burek that I explained to you on Obama's inauguration day. I couldn't resist snapping her photo quickly; she has the most wonderful face. Later I noticed that there are sort of O's on the bus behind her, too. And maybe the snaps on her jacket count as O's....

Check out other O's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

The DNA Fountain

Well, I didn't know when I published this photo last June that the 'fountain' I'd shown was really the bare bones of a fountain that had been removed for technical reasons and recently replaced, as you see above. It is called the DNA Fountain, and represents a double helix. The fountain was returned to its original location just off of Republic Square where young science students often meet. And yes, true to its name, the DNA fountain is an exact copy of its predecessor. :)

The Happy Housewives

Definitely not Desperate Housewives, these ladies. This wall art beckoned me down a passageway where I expected to find pots of simmering, home-cooked dishes. Instead the menu bore only names of cocktails, wines, and beer. I can see why these 'Vesele Domacice' (VEh-seh-leh do MAH cheet-seh) are happy: lots of drinks and no cooking to do! If you read Serbian, here's their site!

SUNDAY BRIDGES-flat rectangular links

These flat rectangular links on one of the bridges over a now dry moat in Kalemegdan Park recall the shape of the bricks on the wall behind. I might add that this chain along both sides of the bridge is really low; perfect tripping height. Watch your step.

See more bridges or parts of them at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

P.S.Here's the whole bridge.

Happy Birthday to my daughter

How time flies; a cliche, but so true. The older I get the more I realize you have to treasure each and every moment. Today is my daughter's birthday and much time has passed since this photo was taken of her with her big brother. I get all teary and nostalgic when writing posts like this, so I'll just end before I start, with a Happy Birthday to my (always) little girl. I love you.
