SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY==ONE RED, ONE WHITE


 Both of these strawberries are now history. My friend Jasmina grows them on her rooftop terrace, along with an assortment of lovely flowers.

WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE--Old Man with a Fiddle and a Boy


 This relief stands above the door to the STANKOVIC SCHOOL OF MUSIC not far from where I live.

Honestly, it looks like both the fiddler and his pupil have fallen asleep.

SKYWATCH--4:35 A.M.


 Hot, hot, and sometimes hard to sleep.  Got up to get a drink of water at 4:35 and here's what I saw out my window.

Made me almost feel good about getting up.

THEME DAY--TOOLS


 July's Theme Day is Tools.  The dictionary defines tool as "a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function."

These are only a few of the tools I use every day, though of course there are many more....

NIGHTTIME HOUSEWORK


Housework for him and her. Snapped this photo late last night of two industrious souls across the way. Both their work may have been less painful because it was much cooler than in the daytime. Our temperatures have been in the mid-to high 90s for quite a while.

THE LINDEN TREE


 This is the time of year when linden trees here are in full bloom, and their fragrance thrills me. Often wondered why no one has made a linden perfume.  Here's a link to one woman's attempt to find a linden perfume.

Here they do make a linden syrup and serve it diluted in ice cold water on a hot summer's day, the likes of which we've been having.

Here's a close-up of linden blossoms.

MONDAY MURALS---BASKETBALL, ANYONE?


 Spotted this mural in the town of Runa about a month ago. I am not a sports fan, and have no idea who these players are, but perhaps you do.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Old Timer Peugeot


 Many cities have an Old Timers Car Club and Belgrade does, too. This is a (year unknown to me) 'gold' Peugeot, and it was so spiffy....

SKYWATCH-- THE FACE IN THE CLOUD


 At first this may look like |I touched up this cloud, but it was actually like this. A phone shot and my screen was not dirty and didn't make the streaks/

SOUR CHERRIES


 Not your proverbial sour grapes, but sour cherries, the kind I used to pick is a child. I'd climb up my grandmother's cherry tree and stuff my face....the cherry stains were hard to get out, but hey, I didn't have to deal with that.

These beauties come from my friend's cherry tree and I didn't even have to climb. She'd already picked them for me.

FLOWERS AND GARLIC


 This wreath of dried flowers with three heads of garlic graces a doorway in Pancevo, about 12 kilometers from Belgrade. I often see wreaths like this, but without the garlic. Garlic is known for being a healthy food (I love it....), and for keeping away vampires, but that legend isn't popular here.  

But just in case...

SPRING PREPARES FOR FALL

 Title says it all!
