"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"

 That line from THE WIZARD OF OZ is what I heard this witch cackle (at least in my mind...) when I passed her on a spook walk at a local farm. I just loooove Halloween.

Find the intruder

 Among this medley of colors, of course the green leaf is the intruder.

I am now in the US, and can't get enough photos of gorgeous fall leaves.

MONDAY MURALS--ski stuff's probably in the garage

 I came to the US with my dog, who is enjoying walking around Seattle with me. Came across this mural on a neighbor's garage.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS -Who kissed Nikola Tesla?

 This optician's shop always has great displays, but not really showing you  one here. I liked the ethno-vest they blocked the doorway with since the shop wasn't open yet.

And someone kissed Nikola Tesla.

THE WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE--the thistle pod

 Captured on a recent birding excursion. No bird, but a milkweed pod, ready to burst.

READY TO GO HOME

 I think this dog is ready to leave the hairdresser's salon....waiting for his mistress.

LINE 'EM UP, BUT DON'T EAT 'EM

Most of you will recognize these as horse chestnuts, the non-edible kind. Actually, they can cause serious gastrointestinal damage to  humans and can be fatal to dogs and other animals.

Says the Internet:" When you hear the song about chestnuts roasting on an open fire, don’t mistake these nuts for horse chestnuts. Horse chestnuts, also called conkers, are a very different nut. Are horse chestnuts edible? They are not. In general, toxic horse chestnuts should not be consumed by people, horses or other livestock."

THE SWAN

A little birding excursion in the country didn't bring me any exotic birds, but only this swan, which seemed out of place here in the forest.
 

MONDAY MURALS---in Kovacica

 Kovacica (KO-va-cheet-sa) lies about an hour or so from Belgrade and is home to the GALLERY OF NAIVE ART, where one can see a variety of paintings and other crafts by local self-taught artists.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--night skateboarders

 Skateboarding has no hours. These young boys were up late, probably much to the chagrin of nearby tenants, honing their skills.

FALL---and chilly

 A bit chilly for a sit on this bench. I wonder what kind of winter we will be in for.
