SKYWATCH--chillin' in 35 degrees Celsius

Photo of my son at Prozor Rama Lake, Bosnia, where it was 35 degrees Celsius.  Hot, hot.

My presents

My granddaughter, Mila, returned from her week-long excursion with her pre-school group. She had promised to bring me a rock, and I also got a magnet and a candy watch......

Bless her.  :)

On vacation

Not me, though I've just returned from a short one and will be off again when family from the US comes over.

This image was sent to my son by his daughter's daycare teacher, who is positively super. Here in Serbia, socialized day cares offer low-cost excursions of several days or, in this case, a week to their little pupils.  My almost-six-year-old grand-daughter, Mila, is now at Sokobanja (SO-KO-bahn-ya), a spa about four hours from Belgrade. It's a popular place; click on that link.  Lots for all ages to do: nature walks, water fun in pools and out, sports, etc. all while breathing in fresh air.

Here's a shout out to Mila's teacher, who has gone the extra mile by really keeping parents posted, and also by taking kids on her on volition to a nearby amusement park.

I wish I were six again....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--darkness and light

Symbolically, this elderly gentleman like many others his age, walks both in the shadows and in the light.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--reflecting on life....

I often see this fellow sitting along a busy street near me and at first wondered why he wouldn't choose a quieter place.

But I think he has found inner peace, and has blocked out all that's going on around him.

SKYWATCH--Across the Sava

Shielding his eyes against the sun, a man stares across the Sava River.

Smarter than you thought?

Snails can read!  I watched this little fellow work his way through this text, and I have no reason to doubt he can read....

ABC WEDNESDAY---W is for Wall

Another sorry shot....this was once a beautiful building, long ago, with its reliefs and detail.

Now it's been painted....and not in a good way.

In Vogue

Not necessarily Vogue magazine, but she's definitely stylish.

Of course as soon as I try to sneak a shot, it often happens that the person turns around.  This lovely young woman did notice me, but didn't object.

Yearning for a cuppa

This sculpture over a water fountain seems as if she's had enough water and craves coffee.....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--a hot seat

A shadow here, on a very hot day, and a swing with perhaps a red-hot seat.
