SKYWATCH--Institute for Neonatology exhibit

Belgrade's Institute for Neonatology currently has a photo exhibit in Tasmajdan Park, dedicated to all the prematurely-born babies who, thanks to the Institute's care, made the transition from fragile newborns to healthy children. On each board, as you can see, are one or two photographs, with information about the child and his or her (or their, in the case of these twins) family. Sunny skies in store for them and pretty soon they'll be strolling through parks like the children you see on the sidewalk.

Knight by day...

....and maybe some lucky girl's prince by night? Isn't he cute? He couldn't resist posing as I walked by him next to a souvenir stand in Kalemegdan Park, and asked me in English to take his photo. He thought I was a tourist, with my camera.... Little does he know....

I'm going to make a photo for him.

ABC WEDNESDAY-- "P" is for "poodle's posh paws"

Taken in early September when the weather was warm. It hadn't even rained, and I wondered why this Poodle was wearing these shoes...

THEME DAY--FENCES

Back in Belgrade, but this fence is from farther south in Serbia.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween! You may remember my little Serbian traveling companion, Radovan, who's been on trips with me to Greece, India, Qatar, and other local trips. He's accompanied to Seattle too, and since tomorrow we'll be back in Belgrade, he decided to pose with a luminous Halloween friend and pumpkin.

Posts from Belgrade tomorrow!

SUNDAY BRIDGES--the land bridge

Quick: Can you identify where the land bridge linking the two larger continents shown here is located? Right you are: On a bench in a Seattle Ferries waiting room!

Taken while waiting for the ferry to Bainbridge Island and ever-searching for a bridge photo.

See other bridges, most likely real ones, at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

Weekend Reflection--a dentist's dream

I wonder if dentists smile (a healthy, white smile) when they see displays like this. Not only for all the sugar that harms your teeth in such excess, but the nuts that stick between them, and the caramel that often yanks out fillings.

But these apples are good. This shop will happily cut one up into pieces for you, so you can share the guilt, if not your dentist bill.

SKYWATCH: The Needle....

Juxtaposition

No special comment; just liked the juxtaposition of the totem pole and the Pioneer Building on Pioneer Square in Seattle.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "obequitate "

Over a cup of coffee with Chuck, another blogger from Seattle, I mentioned this giraffe I'd photographed while obequitating in the Wedgwood area or Seattle. He told me he'd already posted it, and so he had, right here, with rhododendrons in bloom and a much brighter sky.

Last Monday I told you that you always learn something through blogs, so now you know, if you've clicked on the first link, what to "obequitate" means. I was in desperate need of an "O".

The supervisor

This steam shovel operator may not be the supervisor in charge, but he's definitely supervising the workers around him repairing a downtown street, and waiting for their signal to help.
