WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING SWEET...

 Bad phone shot. My favorite café only serves coffee, tea, soft drinks,and some alcoholic ones. That didn't stop this fellow from dashing to the pastry shop across the street and returning with something sweet.

VINTAGE GLASS

 For photographers, 'vintage glass' could refer to an old but still useful lens. This glass is a flashback from my recent trip to Warsaw. I love this collection of this kind of vintage glass.

FEED YOUR INNER CHILD

 Walked the dog this evening and then sat in the little park adjacent to my building. This young man was really enjoying himself. He'd been swinging when I started my walk (I walked the dog for about half an hour) and then I sat and watched him for a half an hour before going home. Looked out the window about 15 minutes later--still at it. And the show ended when it started to rain. 

You have to feed your inner child.

I LIVE IN FEAR...

 

This was my fortune cookie's prediction....looking over my shoulder now, and of course upwards, too.  If I don't post for a while, you'll know why.

ELEGANCE

it was only 2:30 in the afternoon, but this young lady was all ready for some special occasion.
 

UP TO NO GOOD

 When the weather was as good as it was last week, there are always a few homeless persons sleeping on benches in parks. One such was just to the left of where I took this photo. Some kind person had left 200 dinars ($2.00) with a lsrge chocolate bar beside his bare and callused feet on the bench. 

I saw these 'kids' spot the chocolate and the money. The one in the middle picked up a large stick and all tjree headed toward the bench. I stood by the bench and stared them down. They stopped. It was a case of who will back down first. I pulled out my phone snd pretended to take a video at which point the kid with the stick pulled up his hoodie and walked a distance away. Little kid was still smirking and the biggest one just stood there, mumbling his innocence. 

I told them to move on. No reaction. At that point I said I was calling the police. They instantly disappeared.

DEDICATION

 

Just noticed this mural on a nearby street where I don't usually walk. Looks freshly done. On the upper right it reads "Street Hero" and on the upper left it says "To those who loved me."

SO UNCOMFORTABLE...

No more bus photos, but now an airline one. I flew to and from Warsaw with the Polish airline, LOT. Very efficient, and quite comfortable if you are of standard human size. This poor fellow, who must have been at least 6'6", was really uncomfortable. He was only sitting like this at the very end of the 2-hour flight. Otherwise, he'd have blocked the aisle.
 

HAPPY DELIVERIES!

 Like yesterday, I took this photo while in a bus in Warsaw. I looked out the window, ever on alert for a shot, and lo and behold, this very happy delivery guy saw me and posed. A cutie he was.

LILY OF THE VALLEY

 On a recent trip, I asked a lady sitting next to me on the bus in Warsaw if I could take a photo of her bouquet. Usually Lilies of the Valley are given on May 1st, but their beauty allows them to be displayed all the time.

FUNGI

 I have not posted for a while and now I am back in Belgrade dealing with packing for an upcoming intracity move. May not be able to post regularly for a while. 

These toadstools were growing on the rotting side of a maple tree. Wondering if they are edible....
