Two and a half men

From the sit-com comes the title. This is another hip shot of mine, not unnoticed.... I'm sorry I couldn't get all three of these men in. I should have just been bold and asked for a photo (in exchange for a beer for them).  When I do that, though, people often strike strange, frozen poses.

In any case, what caught my eye was their natural poses.  There's some trace of elegance in them; hands folded just so, legs crossed....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--THE STRETCHING BALCONY

This wrought-iron balcony on Gavrilo Princip Street appears to be stretching.....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--material shop

Some lovely golden feathers (cloth ones) in a window reflecting an old Belgrade building.

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.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"D" IS FOR "DOWN THE STREET"

Gypsies here are Serbia's recycling masters.  These two fellow found a real deal in this bathtub.

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....  ?

SKYWATCH--Who's up at this hour?

...besides me, that is. Had to get up very early the other day and saw that someone else was, too.....

Cheerful

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.
