Aquarius gone, now Pisces

Aquarius the Water Bearer (my sign) has departed and was replaced by Pisces, the fish. I was going to list a few of Pisces' characteristics, but the ones I read could have easily been mine, too.... This carved fish is one of two on a doorway downtown.

What sign are you, and do you believe in zodiac signs?

SUNDAY BRIDGES--"If only there were a...."

He: Are you hungry? My treat!
She: Really? Okay! How about that restaurant boat across the river?
He: Uh...it looks kind of expensive...and there's no bridge...
She: We could walk back to the main bridge...
He: Too far. My new shoes hurt.
She: (Sigh) I knew it was too good to be true...

See (really see) more bridges at Louis La Vache's Sunday Bridges.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--Fall/Winter Collection

Times are hard...these ladies are modeling the latest Fall/Winter collection... Let's hope they have central heating, drapes on their windows, and a long coat and shoes when they venture out.

Those of you who read Serbian will be doubly amused, since the sign on the door reads "Laguna Readers Club'. (Laguna is a publishing company.) But the store is now a clothing one...I think...

P.S. These aren't the same naked ladies as the ones I showed you here.

Colors, patterns, and textures

After the snow melts, a city can look really gray and dismal, especially when the sky is gray, too. A short while back, I was out on such a day, and this splash of color caught my eye. I like the different textures on the walls, too, and the patterns of the windows.

ABC WEDNESDAY --"E" is for "Exhibit"

Excellent exhibit....a very nostalgic one, of photographs from older Belgrade....

You can see that Branko's Bridge looks pretty much the same right here, but there's no beach now.

See others E's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

Autumn leaves

I know it isn't autumn, but that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this lady in Kalemegdan Park. I envy people that can carry this off. People would stare at me if I attempted to go out like this.

I like what she's wearing, though it isn't for me. Do you?

Hug your Valentine today...

Did you say, "Awww..."? Snapped this pink pet in the bus. It was a young girl hugging it, not a child, as you might have thought.

I hope you all have your special Valentine...I lost mine over two years ago...

SUNDAY BRIDGES--a bridge AND a cow!

Louis, am I the first to post a bridge AND a cow?? This photo of course is not from Belgrade, but from Udaipur, India, that I visited during my recent trip to India. My friend Olya in the background was unsure whether to pass this peaceful bovine, so I went by her first...and took the photo.

See other bridges (but probably not with cows on them) at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--Moscow today....no...wait....

No, it's not Moscow, as you might think from the red poster behind these members of Belgrade's special forces. The poster is advertising renovations to Hotel Moskva, (Hotel Moscow) which I've shown you several times. These well-padded boys were stationed for possible reactions to a recent political protest meeting. All was peaceful....

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--Sky patterns

This dissipated airplane trail resembles knuckle bones, I think, and the reflections from my lens make the photo look like some sort of artwork.
