Ain't she a beauty...?
I usually don't pay any attention to cars, but this one was worth a second look...and a photo. I couldn't find any marks to say what it was, so of course I emailed LOUIS LA VACHE to ask him what it was. He replied, but....I accidentally deleted his email, so Louis, if you're reading this, leave a comment!

ABC WEDNESDAY - 'T' is for 'ten gallon' hat
I think this might be some version of the ten-gallon hat (which only held three liters, I think...). Spotted this fellow at a local Starbucks while here in Seattle.

Spiky mango....
The kumquats and plantain I recognized, but had to ask what these spiky fruits were...spiky mangoes, I was told.

Waiting for a green light
Last Saturday's reflection was taken while stuck in traffic. This photo was taken while waiting for a green light....son-in-law was driving and I furtively 'shot' this man from the back seat.

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.
