SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--fun car
This fun car stands in a gallery that sells wacky art. Looks like it might be fun if it were bigger and drivable.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS---linden tea
Linden tea is delicious; almost as delicious as the linden trees' blossoms are fragrant. The latter saturate the air with a heady, sweet fragrance anywhere from end of May through the beginning of June.
Linden trees are sometimes called lime tree or lime bush, but are not closely related to the trees that produce limes.
Here is a recipe for linden tea.

SKYWATCH--'Walking home'
Nice moon, the last full one was, and I caught this while walking home. PLEASE enlarge the photo. Like the moon itself, it looks much better bigger. And you'll see the bird better. How's that for an alliterative post?

The clandestine mulberry pickers...
Two of my friends who accompanied me on our road trip to Bač, Serbia, the other week, decided to indulge in some mulberries.....

Spying across the street....
I am an incurable Peeping Tom....but am I really? If you're sitting where everyone can see you, maybe I am not. In any case, while this lady is surrounded by flowers, I am sure she'd love to have this terrace.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--dozing
A flashback to a couple of years ago, since I don't have a recent Belgrade shadow.
This fellow was dozing in the airplane on his way to Marseille, France

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS on a pitcher, in a glass
A recent road trip led me to a wonderful ethno-restaurant in the northern Serbian town of Bač (rhymes with 'watch').
Here's my glass, awaiting wine, with a pitcher of water behind it.

SKYWATCH--across the river view to town
The bird also has a view of the side of the river where I was when I took this picture....

A little corner of paradise
For the most part, many of Belgrade's older buildings are sad-looking. Grey, crumbling facades, grafitti.... The one seems fairly well kept-up, and has been enhanced by someone's little garden.

NIGHT BASKETBALL
Too hot in the day for serious basketball, but evening temps make a game possible. (And yes, the ball went in the hoop.)
