SKYWATCH--Serbian countryside: Šumadija

Šumadija is a region in central Serbia.  This area used to be covered in thick forest,
(Šuma).

This is another cell phone shot....  Do you know that yesterday here it was 43 degrees Celsius?  That's about  109 degrees....darn hot.

Dimpled

 Could have used these baby dimples for a D on yesterday's ABC Wednesday post....  My little grandson's backside, perched on my daughter's arm.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"D" is for "deceased"

A cell phone photo I took in a cemetery in Gornje Grbice, near Kragujevac, where I attended the funeral of a very good friend's mother. It always saddens me to see neglected graves.

See other D's on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Pick one!

It's been hot here.  My little grandson was attracted by these water toys, sold by a lady on a bench in Tasmajdan Park.  We bought him the dark-green, fat frog.  Which one would you take?

Ready to jump or....?

Passers-by, beware!

Is this little 'cherub' preparing

 to jump on you

or

to something-else on you?

SUNDAY BRIDGES--Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge"

Well, here I am stretching it again a bit (a lot).  This gorgeous, deadly-hot chili pepper was given to me at the open market the other day instead of some small change when I bought some tomatoes.

I didn't have a post for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES, so I figured a Google with "Pepper Bridge" might do the trick, and lo and behold, up came the song and group in the title.

Weekend Reflections--two types of mineral water

The bubbles on the bottle on the left are from a bubbly mineral water, and the reflections on the right are from a non-bubbly water!

SKYWATCH--Keep an eye on those trees

Noticed these trees while walking downtown. I hope nobody gets close enough up there on the terrace to give those pots a shove.

THEME DAY--Street lamps

Today's theme is street lamps.  I'm stretching this a bit, since these lights are not really exactly on the street, but close!  Anyway, they could be street lamps. I digress.

They're in front of the Nikola Tesla Museum here in Belgrade.  The poster reads that this year marks the 70 years of Nikola Tesla's death. I've shown you him several times before.  Each time I run across him, I wonder why I never, ever learned about him in grade school in the U.S.  If you'd like to know what Nikola Tesla invented that has been attributed to others, check out this site.

ABC WEDNESDAY = "C" is for "curtains"

Kids always seem to think they're invisible when standing behind a curtain. My grandson, Luka, now 14 months, thinks so, and is so delighted when someone 'finds' him.

See other Cs on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Time for a drink....

 It was a record 103 degrees here yesterday....  This hamburger stand owner still took the time to refresh his list of soft drinks...  Bet he sold a lot.
