CVIJETA ZUZORIC PAVILION
Cvijeta Zuzoric, pronounced TSVEE-yeh-ta ZHOO-zhor-eech, (1552=1648) was a lyric poet from what is now Croatia. She wrote in Latin, Italian, and Croatian. The building behind the statue is a pavilion used for art exhibits.
Wiki has this to say: "Cvijeta Zuzorić“ Art Pavilion is an exhibition building in Belgrade, in Kalemegdan, situated in the park's section of Little Kalemegdan, next to the south-eastern front of the Belgrade fortress. It was built between 1927 and 1928 after the design of the architect Branislav Kojić, in the Art Deco architectural style."

ROAD TRIP
Took a short photo excursion starting last Friday. Photos to come, but this is what I ate on the way back: grilled boneless chicken leg on over roast potatoes, salad, and a lovely hot grilled green pepper with lots of garlic...

SKYWATCH--twilight
A phone shot and cropped, so it's a bit blurry. Two domes of Saint Mark's cathedral and a tiny one on the roof of the Federal Parliament building.

CHECKMATE COMIN'
The weather's sunny and warm now, finally, so if you can't travel to hit the surfboard, hit the chessboard.

THEME DAY--WHEN I CAN TRAVEL AGAIN
Happy Theme Day and I hope happier days ahead. The title of June's Theme Day is "When I Can Travel Again." My dog Madhu has never traveled, at least very far. I was supposed to travel with her to the early 2020, but we all know what happened.
Now it may soon be time to give it a shot. Really miss seeing my daughter and family, and some US friends.
Will it happen? I bought her a travel bag just in case...

MONDAY MURALS--Hit the pool, or the surf...
This mural is another high school mural, presumably this HS has a pool.
I hope that a lot of us will soon be able to go to the sea to swim, too.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY: (It looks like) IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
I did a double-take when for once I was looking down at the sidewalk downtown while walking (Belgrade pavements are notoriously dangerous; ill-laid tiles, broken piece...) This reflection of a parked Vespa reminded me of one of those gigantic insects I saw in black-and-white horror films when I was a kid....
I took the photo and hurried on....just in case.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--WHAT'S WHAT?
It is a bit difficult to tell what's what here...is it a reflection or a peek between two buildings?

SKYWATCH---gloomy
May is nearly over and we really haven't had much spring weather. This isn't a recent shot, but it represents what our spring has mostly been like.
