SKYWATCH---New Belgrade 'on the sea'


Caught these low-lying clouds the other morning and it made it appear that the buildings of New Belgrade in the distance are afloat on the sea, with an island of trees before them.

The floating table


Well, not really. Just a display table set for two with a bottle of wine standing (not floating) outside the dark window of a restaurant downtown.

I'm here...was and still am....


Today is my birthday. I'll let you guess which one from the postmark.

I received this from my aunt yesterday in the mail....  My mother sent this announcement out just after I was born.  She passed away two years ago, and I'm glad in some way that she 'showed up' for my birthday.

THEME DAY-- scene from a coffee house


Hotel Moskva here in Belgrade is just what it says--a hotel, but with a splendid pastry and coffee shop as well, so...

Was having coffee with a friend and this kid just kept staring at my camera....and sticking out his tongue....  I caught him just as he was about to do so again, and so did his mother.....who didn't seem to mind....  ?

I always find that bow ties are cheerful.

Male readers, do you ever wear one?

ABC WEDNESDAY--"C" is for "Caring for the cat"


It's been awfully cold here over the past week or so, and while we're not having a blizzard, it's still rough on street animals.

Someone is obviously looking after this cat. I especially liked not just the box, but the layers of insulation inside.

Dreaming



Short of  'out and about' photos again. Just too much going on, including a bit of babysitting.  Snapped this photo the other day of my little grandson, who will be two end of March.

MONDAY MURALS--In Savamala


There's a part of old Belgrade down by the river called Savamala.  It's a old warehouse area that is now morphing into a hip community.  I love the mixture of decrepit and new, and its street art.

See other murals around the world at Monday Murals.

 Went through the old municipality of Zemun, which was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Lots of beautiful architecture.
