Alone and maybe forgotten

A lonely little lion cub, forgotten (who knows for how long) at Raca monastery. Someone's keeping an eye on him, though.

SKYWATCH--leavin' on a jet plane...

This is an early morning shot of Saint Sava's Church here in Belgrade, taken just before I boarded a train for a short three-day trip in-country.

 But what about 'leavin' on a jet plane..."? Well, tomorrow I'm off for the US, and not by train.

Impractical?

Another one from my short train trip recently here in Serbia.

This railroad employee's uniform looks really impractical, especially the shoes.

ABC WEDNESDAY - "E" is for "entomologist'

Caught this entomologist calling in to report a very large ladybug on the pole next to me in one of my favorite cafes....

I went back the next day...it's still there, haha.

The flag bearer

If I hadn't looked up, I wouldn't have seen this flag bearer...or maybe he is a pole vaulter, in which case he might have vaulted down right in front of me.

MONDAY MURALS--Senior Day Centers and Clubs

Cute mural advertising senior centers and clubs.

Fails to say where they are, though....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY: Road trip

A three-day trip to visit some friends in Uzice (OOO-zheet-say), a three+ hour train ride from Belgrade.

Had a fantastic time; lots of nature walks, sights, good food!  

Here's a shadow for you...see more on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Srbija Voz

Took a short road, or rather, train trip last few days.  I had not traveled on a train in Serbia for YEARS, and the one I was on was a vast improvement. In the reflection you can see old train wagons reflected in the window of my new train.  "Srbija Voz" means "Serbia Train."

See other reflections on Weekend Reflections.

SKYWATCH--the selfie

No, I'm not in the selfie, but this pair was deeply engrossed in taking selfies on a nearby rooftop. Little did they suspect that I was around.

THEME DAY AUGUST--Black

This month's theme is:  black. Not a color we usually associate with August. This labrador has enjoyed a dip to cool off, and is now 'parked' to dry off.

See other interpretations of 'black' on THEME DAY.

ABC WEDNESDAY "D" is for 'disorderly'

"Disorderly" may not be the best word to describe this urban mishmash, but it begins with D!
