ABC WEDNESDAY--Z is for Zoo

Thanks to my son for this photo he sent of an arrangement of animals, though not at the zoo, made by my granddaughter.

A tea party....

The stationary Trabant

The Trabant was the iconic symbol of the now defunct East Germany, and had the reputation of being uncomfortable, slow, noisy, and a heavy polluter.  You still see them around occasionally, like this one parked on a street near me. It's always in the same place, or one space ahead or behind, and never has a parking ticket on it.....


Don't you just love how the exhaust pipe is held on?

Happy Fourth of July to my American readers.

MONDAY MURALS--LOOK!

Look at what I am  not sure....I couldn't see anything worthwhile....maybe just like the old joke:   "See?  Made you look!"

A young Muslim girl looks out at the street in front of a mosque's bookstore in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Signs of the times

Can't escape Coca-Cola, however you may feel about that. Nine teaspoons of sugar in a small bottle/can of Coke.

I'll take my sugar in the form of one Turkish Delight, or maybe two....to go with my Turkish coffee I drank in Sarajevo on a recent trip.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"X" is for "Danger"

The skull and crossbones on this sign by the side of the road in Prozor, Bosnia/Herzegovina, warns not to walk in that area, due to the possibility of mines.....  The area of course was swept following the 1990s wars, but who wants to take the risk?

Counting sheep....or "The Grass is Always Greener"...

If you're trying to count sheep, keep a look-out for the ones hopping the fence....to where the grass is always greener.

These were spotted in Bosnia, near Prozor Rama, where I visited recently.

MONDAY MURALS--just appeared....

Like the proverbial mushroom, this mural just appeared overnight in the little park downstairs.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Standing tall

Standing tall indeed, at Rama Lake in Bosnia.  My son and I.
