HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 I confess. I have already used this photo earlier this month, but Thanksgiving snuck up on me. Here in Serbia it isn't a holiday today, so I am celebrating with family this coming Sunday when it's easier for them to come.  That 'forgetting' Thanksgiving is today is a lame excuse, but I wanted to wish you all a happy day of 'thanksgiving,' whether you celebrate the real holiday or not. Every single one of  us has at least one thing to be thankful for. 

All the best to all of you.

GLOOMY...

 The weather's been a bit gray, so this is a fitting photo. Of course Murphy's Law made it turn out sunny today....

URBAN TREE

 Like many city dwellers, I delight in finding pieces of the village or country in town. Here is one example.

FLOWERS FOR SALE

 It's getting a bit nippy. This flower seller beside the National Museum is bundled up, as are others around town.

OLD AND NEW

 This old facade, albeit with a new window, has always attracted me. Now already for a few years there is a Hilton hotel nearby. Contrast f old and new....

WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE--THE CONVERSATION

 It was nearly dark when I took this photo. I think it would be a good story starter, with the couple engaged in conversation and fellow hurrying off to the side.

HAND AND CIGARETTE

 Smoking in the shadows.

NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF RED....

 

Nothing like a bit of red to catch your eye on a gloomy day.  That's exactly what this red plastic chair did and I clicked away.

CHECKING HIS PHONE

 People with cell phones make it so much easier for me to do my sneak shots. Pretty soon they won't have to be sneak shots anymore. I can just click away and they're totally oblivious.

RODNEY AND HIS MAN

 Rodney and his devoted owner caught my eye the other day while walking my dog. I watched him from a distance, lovingly cuddling his pet, talking to him, and it made me feel so good.  I moseyed over and struck up a conversation. Standard story:  he lives alone but does have a daughter in Belgrade and little Rodney, 9 months old, keeps him great company.  

WINE BAR BLONDES

 A friend and I had a glass of really good red wine from Portugal the other night in a favorite wine bar. I caught these three blondes enjoying some white wine.  I wonder if they took a photo of the "wine bar silvers' at the table across from them.
