He who sits and watches

Bought this gargoyle for my mother's garden, but he now resides in my daughter and son-in-law's front lawn.  He never seems to tire of the view....the fragrant Spanish lavender is a treat.

ABC WEDNESDAY "T": is for "Tired"

Tired it is, when you're an energetic two-year-old. My grandson Luka is all tuckered out in this photo and soon will hit the sack, not the ottomans you see here.

Spitbugs!

Spitbugs are something I remember from my childhood in Pennsylvania....running through the field behind our house and having my legs 'spat upon' by these little guys (gals) who lay their eggs in what looks like saliva.  You can read about spitbugs if you click here.

Haiku are taking a break until I return to Belgrade!

What the heck?

Here I am posting from Seattle, but the Fates are not with me.  Every now and then, and this post is a case in point, Blogger chooses to post my photos upside down or sideways....  I've tried to rotate them myself in such a way that I hope when they upload they'll be correct, but to no avail.  Googling sent me to a site telling me to go to my blog's Picasa Web Album and rotate it.  The link given gives me an 'Internal Error' message.

Anyone know how to resolve this?  I'd really like to post the rest of my Seattle photos right side up...

(Haikus on hold for a while.)

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--After the exhibit

Not an exhibit of mine this time, but I liked the leftovers from the celebration.

SKYWATCH -- The Avala Tower....and the golden arches...

The Avala Tower in the distance, a newer rendition of the original tower destroyed in the NATO bombing of 1999.

And those golden arches are visible, too.....globalization in the worst sense.

Got my wish

Oh, hurray, and finally!  Check out this post from a while back to see what this building is.

In the US and hope to be back visiting your blogs and posting from Seattle after the weekend!

ABC WEDNESDAY "S" is for "sweater"

Another shot from across the street. I like the greens...

In the US now; apologies for not visiting your blogs for a while.

The Victor through the chestnut blossoms

Am in the US and will be posting from here soon.  Sorry for my lack of visits to your blogs!  Hope to be back on schedule soon.

The last three.....

Passed this bakery in early afternoon a couple of weeks ago.....the only loaves left..... 

SHADOW SHOT--the blue parasol

I am now in Seattle where I had expected rain, but haven't seen it yet.  Serbia is undergoing heavy flooding, the worst in 120 years.

Though the Sava river here appears muddy where it joins the Danube, indicating rains upstream, the day I took this photo about two weeks ago was sunny, and this umbrella was used as a parasol.
