MAGENTA
She whizzed by me, I snapped her photo, and then she disappeared into a doorway. I wonder what she looked like from the front.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY: Who was Petar Kocic (KO-cheech)?
That's exactly what I asked myself when I came across this statue of Petar Kocic in a park I'd never been to before. The short answer is that he was a Bosnian Serb writer who died in 1916, but if you care to read more, see THIS LINK.
Linking to SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

JULY THEME DAY: CLIMATE...
You may wonder why this post relates to climate. It's summer, it's hot, people eat ice cream. But this summer and just about every recent summer, it's been hotter. Fall is now arriving, at least here, in November, and winters are not what they used to be, not to mention spring...
These children appear oblivious to all this, their grandpa (?) perhaps not so much. And for me, I can't help but feel sorry for future generations, which of course include my grandchildren, but I try not to think about that too much.

PLAYGROUND OF YESTERYEAR
The playground in the upper photo in the neighborhood where my kids grew up in is exactly like the playground they spent hours in. The bottom one is a revamped one.... Definitely more state-of-the-art, but more fun, I don't know.

ANOTHER RESTORED FACADE
Yesterday I showed you a beautifully restored facade. Part of that building can be seen on the left of this white facade.
Both buildings must be feeling very proud.

A BIG FRIEZE....
At the risk of sounding like a complainer since I was rambling on and on about our heavy rains that seemed to last forever, now it's time to complain about the blistering heat here. Don't get me started on climate control...
So, now what we need is a big freeze....but this large frieze will have to do.

RESTORED!
This lovely building (I think I showed a photo of it before its restauration, but I cannot find it) has now been returned to its former glory, as has the smaller white one next to it.
Happy to see things like this!

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--WHICH ONE IS YOU?
I've seen these whimsical bowls for quite some time. Since I am trying not to yield to my ioften mpulsive buying, I just took the photo instead.
