RIPPED


 I know it's the fashion, but sometimes it's a bit too ripped. Not because the holes are revealing, but I just don't think big holes look good. Okay, I'm older...

BREAKFAST AND A LAPTOP


 It's not unusual to see people working with their laptops at breakfast time, but more rare to see them in the park at their 'work station'.  Can't say I blame this fellow for taking advantage of the infrequent sun and warmth we have been having. As I type this, it's pouring buckets....again.

A THREE-BEER BOOK

 




This must be a very intriguing book to merit so many beers. I snapped this shot when the book's reader got up to pay his bill.

SLOWLY BUT SURELY SUMMER


 Yesterday was sunny....and so it will be part of today. I saw quite a bit of snazzy summer footwear. It's out there...just waiting for more sun.

PEOPLE ART


 Yesterday I posted a photo of a piece of the street art we found while I was  on a Street Art Tour.  This young woman is definitely not street art, but she displays some art of her own.

MONDAY MURALS--BLOK 45 NEW BELGRADE


 I went on my third street art walk yesterday in  NewBelgrade's Blok 45, where it all started back in the 70s.  A fantastic array of murals, tags, and graffiti enjoyably and epertly explained by our guide, an art historian (with a penchant toward worldwide street art) at Belgrade University.

It's usually fairly clear what murals are about, but I learned that tags have a message too, and graffiti goes deeper than it appears.

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

JUST SITTING


 I am sure these two ladies were having a chat,too, but anyway, they are just 'sitting'.

A BIT OF PROVENCE






 No, I am not in Provence....but wish I were.  This is some lavender which thrives in a nearby park. I love the scent.

MORNING COFFEE ALL GONE....


 Two empty cups of thick, Serbian, black coffee remain, along with a sugar dispenser, two glasses of water and a typical brandy glass. I find it significant that in a country where nearly everybody smokes the ashtray is empty.

BACK IN STYLE?


 I haven't seen this hairdo in quite some time. Looks a bit retro to me, but maybe mohawks (contemporary version) are back in style.

FIT FOR A PRESIDENT


 I think the sambar, a south Indian dish, that I just made would be fit for a president. When I went out a few minutes ago to walk the dog, I saw Indian and Serbian flags on the lamp posts.  It appears that the president of India, DROUPADI MURMU, is visiting Serbia until the 9th....  


Oh, had I known...I have enough for two.

SPRING PREPARES FOR FALL
