SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--the stairs



I take my camera out even at night when I walk the dog, so you can thank my dog for this shot, I guess....in a way...that makes no sense....I'm tired...

The end is near.....



The end is near....Serbian holiday season keep going and going, like the Energizer Bunny, but the end is near.

These yummy cakes were made by a close friend of mine for her family's slava or patron saint's day.

My favorites are the ones with the white icing in the middle of the try.  Crushed walnuts on the bottom....

SKYWATCH--the view from my daughter's old room


This is the view from my daughter's old room in the apartment where my son now lives in New Belgrade.  The room is now occupied by my granddaughter.  When my daughter lived there, the view was much different; just fields and the railroad tracks behind the buildings, the steam heating plant, and the road, but even that was just one lane....

Times change.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"B" is for "Bon appétit"!


There is an old restaurant here in Belgrade I've eaten at many times since I came to "Yugoslavia" in 1977.

There are rumors that it is closing....why, no one seems to be sure, but one thing is sure, since the rumors started, it has been packed. Mind you, it always was, so....

Blue Boy(s)


No Gainsboroughs here, but just two boys in the bus, late at night.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the purse shop



Caught this lady reading the paper on a slow day in her purse shop on Balkanska Street, a street known for its many artisan shops....which are rapidly disappearing.

The heat's on....


Steam puffs from the New Belgrade heating plant across the river.  Not to fear; we in the old town get heated, too....

All spiffed up for the New Year


Today is Serbian New Year's Day and these two dogs are spiffed up for the New Year.  I like this because it's a good sign that someone takes care of them and that they aren't just street dogs.

And hey, this guy  still hasn't invited me in....Remember this post?
