ABC WEDNESDAY--"R" is for (Dusko) Radovic

Dusko Radovic was a children's writer, journalist, poet and aphorist, and I remember him fondly. He died in 1984, and this is a photo of his newly-renovated children's theater, with St. Marko' Cathedral behind it.

See other Rs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY. Sorry---no haiku.

One sits, one gazes

Wall art and street sitter.

Daily Haiku

Two street artists

One forms his thoughts on paper

One in his mind’s eye

 

The squirrel from hell

A man was feeding this squirrel the other day in the park, and some others were taking photos. I joined in.  From my angle he appeared a bit dark, so I used the flash....with this result. I was going to correct the squirrel's hellish eyes, but then I remembered this post.

Daily Haiku

Gray bristly tail and ears

Nuts over nuts he chatters

My friend the squirrel

Shadow Shot Sunday Students' Park sidewalk

Shadows cast by wall decorations and through grillwork in the walls surrounding Students' Park in Belgrade.

See other shadows on Shadow Shot Sunday. 

You can see these wall ornaments here and the grillwork here.

 

Daily Haiku

Shadows are reborn

When the sun sinks they rise and

Lie cool in moonlight

 

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--The Military Museum Tower...twice

Recent rain left this nice puddle....and a reflection of the tower of the Military Museum.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

Daily Haiku

Two towers you see

Puddle dries up; now there’s one

Nature’s undoing

 

SKYWATCH--You're being watched....

A drone!  I snapped this little guy who was filming the Belgrade Marathon the other week.  Is it my imagination, or does he have an evil little grin on his face?

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

Whirring over crowds

Filming everyone below

Brave New World is here

  

Degas updated

The girl on this mural on the wall of a dry cleaning shop doesn't look too hot, sweaty, or tired.  A far cry from Edgar Degas' Les Repasseuses (The ironers)

Daily Haiku

Hot, sweaty, tiring

Ironing was a real chore

Until steam irons 

ABC WEDNESDAY "Q" is for "quietly"

This Illyrian Sheepdog, or Šar Mountain Dog seems much more interested in having his photo taken than in the cat quietly padding by right in front of him.

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

Daily Haiku

Strong mountain sheepdog

Fearlessly defends livestock

But poses for me  

Nikola Tesla's friend

Copped a shot of this little girl, who was posing for her father nearby.  She's sitting on the lap of Nikola Tesla's statue that I showed you a couple of years ago.

Daily Haiku

Electrifying

Power-driven, dynamic

Nikola Tesla   

No idle hands

These hands belong to some ladies who are always selling their knitted and  crocheted wares along the pedestrian street downtown.  Busy, busy.

Daily Haiku

Knitting, crocheting

Like our grandmas used to do

Is now a lost art 

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--The Marathon walkers...

Three walkers and three shadows participating in the 27th Belgrade Marathon last Sunday. Weather was good then, today rain.

I'm never alone

 my faithful shadow follows
