SKYWATCH: TREE, MOON, PASTELS


 Just what the title says, nothing more. I stood and took in the beauty for several minutes.

SLEEPING IT OFF


 Seems like this holiday gnome has had one long season....too much holiday cheer. I'll check and see if he's still there tomorrow....

CONVERSATION....


 A definite lack of any conversation and so it was the entire time this couple 'enjoyed' their meal at my local Indian restaurant. Not a word was exchanged. I was morbidly fascinated...and saddened. In this photo, the fellow had just put his phone down and perhaps was hoping for a word from his partner, but no.

STARBUCKS PUPPUCCINO?


 A bit fuzzy, but I took this with my 50mm lens at quite a distance and cropped it. I love the dog enjoying his night out with his master. Couldn't make out what the dog was having...perhaps one of Starbucks' famous PUPPUCCINOs.  Not sure they serve them here though....

BRUDERHOF MEMBERS?


Walking home the other day, I caught sight of this mother and her children waiting on a street corner.  She was about to take a photo, and little did she know it, so was I.

I wasn't sure why they were dressed like this, so I googled. The closest I came was finding the BRUDERHOF COMMUNITY, since the clothing seemed to match up. I am sorry now I didn't ask her.  There is no Bruderhof community here, so I imagine they were tourists.

Please correct me if you know what they represent.

HANGING ON


 This wine and brandy seller has a stand on the pedestrian street downtown. Others like him have closed shop for the season, but I imagine he has reason to believe that despite the recent warmer temperatures people still want mulled wine and brandy.

HOLDING THE BAG


 This couple near an outdoor market caught my eye the other day. The bag contains some pastries and is not heavy. I liked the way they were 'helping each other' carry it. 😃

SKYWATCH--PRINCE MIHAILO



 The statue of Prince Mihailo of Serbia stands proudly on a main square downtown.

You can read more about him iF YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE. One fun fact I learned was that he was the first person in Serbia to get vaccinated against smallpox, which claimed the lives of three of his siblings.

THE TILE LADY


 Took this through a window of a fancy tile shop downtown this evening. Seems like the lady is taking a dinner break.

CLASSIC



I have passed this entrance to an older building many times on evening dog walks. For some reason it particularly captured my attention last night. Shades of art deco very well maintained.

SKETCHER


 This woman comes to the park and sits on the same bench every day, weather permitting. She intently focuses on her sketch pad. I wish I had mustered up enough courage to ask her if I could photograph her hands and her sketch, but my experience has taught me that when I ask for a photo, most people say no.....but I will ask her next time.

THEME DAY AUGUST 2026--PURPLE

 Purple is the theme for August 2026, and for a while I was avidly hunting something purple. Unfortunately, I found it, sort of. I have MISP...
