Got milk?

Never a dull moment downtown. This cow and her trainer (I do not know why he is dressed in a green body suit; I thought he was supposed to be a blade of grass..) were getting ready to shoot a commercial for milk.

This post goes out to my cow-loving friend from San Francisco, Louis La Vache.

ABC WEDNESDAY : "Q" is for "quaquaversal"

Can you put yourself in this position? I know I can't, but then again, either can the seated fellow in the photo.  Although it looks like he is very quaquaversal in this photo (going in every which direction), it's actually a friend lying on the bench.  But at first glance...

See other Q's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Got change for a fifti?

Keep an eye out for those counterfeit bills! (And learn who's on which bill, too!) Somebody didn't do his homework here, with Honest Abe (here, not so honest) front and center instead of Ulysses S. Grant.  And don't you just love the 'fiftidollars'?

This bill was on display at a recent exhibit at the National Bank of Serbia.

Two walks of life....

Sometimes when you catch a street shot you're trying too hard to get just that particular shot, which was what I was doing when I snapped this nun with her Adidas bag and athletic shoes.  But the lady behind her is walking almost identically, but that's where the resemblance stops.  Two very different 'walks' of life.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--a plethora of bridges

You pick which bridge of this plethora of bridges you like best on this photo taken from Kalemegdan.
And if you don't know what a plethora is, watch this clip from a movie I still enjoy... See other bridges on Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--not a shower curtain

I have passed this window many times and wished that that hanging scene was a shower curtain, but it's not. I mean, it COULD be one, but it's not for sale. I asked inside, and they said it was too expensive to mass produce...oh, but they should...

Nice bike, too.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--The Pointing Prince

I've shown you Prince Mihailo many times before...  Here's a fallen soldier's view of the statue...

See other skies at SKYWATCH.

This fellow's all for Serbia, as his bag says (in Cyrillic) and as shown by his šajkača (shy-KAHT-cha), the typical Serbian hat.

All he's missing is the national shoes called "opanci" (O-PAHNT-see). See what they look like right here.

ABC WEDNESDAY - "P" is for "packaging"

This is a bar of children's or baby soap. I bought these as small presents for people years ago when I first visited what was then Yugoslavia, thinking I'd never return.  The packaging hasn't changed one bit.

See other P's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

THEME DAY-bakeries

This bakery on a busy main street downtown is very popular. There's a line at just about any time during the day.  It's not near me, but I had some business in the vicinity and indulged.  Well-worth the line.

Pretty in Pink

It's the April showers that have brought these not-quite May flowers...but tomorrow is May 1st...
