Bridge at La Conner

Young love contemplating a bridge at La Conner, Washington.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--while stuck in traffic

I rarely mind being stuck in traffic.  My camera is always with me, so when possible I take advantage of what I can focus on, like this reflection on a building on Denny Street here in Seattle, where I'll be through mid-July.

SKYWATCH--In Seattle, can't you tell?

In Seattle through mid-July; new grandson---see yesterday's post.  Note the snazzy new color of the Space Needle, which is actually the way it was when first constructed.

A little sooner than we thought Part II

Nearly one year ago my daughter-in-law gave birth to little Mila, a little sooner than we'd expected, and lo and behold,now my daughter has done the same with baby Luka, born on May 18th, but was due today.  Now Mila has a little cousin.

I'm now in Seattle, and will be posting from here for a while until my return to Belgrade mid-July.

Sweet dreams.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"S" is for "stately"

The other week I visited Princess Ljubica's (LYOO-beet-sa) residence in Belgrade, now a museum.  Princess Ljubica was the mother of Prince Mihailo, whose statue I have shown you many times.  The museum curator, dressed as was the Princess, greets about 30 visitors for coffee with Princess Ljubica," a clever way of making history come to life. She speaks as if the visitors are personal guests, and for a while, you lose yourself in history.

Impressed?

Not sure if this peahen was impressed with her potential mate's display.  A moment after this shot, she just walked off...

"Yes, we have no bananas..."

"Yes, We Have No Bananas" was a 1923 hit song...way before my time, even my mother's.  This fellow has bananas, and is having quite a time pushing his cart.

If you'd like to see and listen to "Yes, We Have No Bananas", watch the video below.

Kitty bridge

Sort of a bridge...maybe a mini-pier....but it'll do. It works for this cat.

Body art

"Ow," is all I have to say.  I'm not opposed to body art, either tattoos or piercings, just don't want any.  This figurine is in the window of a piercing and tattoo shop downtown.  For years this space was occupied by Aeroflot, the Russian Airlines.

Pigeon

A pigeon...or is it a dove...perched on a wall in Kalemegdan Park.

Leftover Teddy

 

It's not really the teddy that's leftover, but he's made from leftover yarn. I bought him at a stand in Kalemegdan Park when purchasing some wool sock/slippers for my daughter, son-in-law, and in-laws.  Traveling soon to the US to be with daughter, who's expecting....a boy.  Mila will have a cousin.
