Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

TEXTING
Usce (OOOSH-chay) Park (meaning mouth, as for a river) is Belgrade's largest park, stretching along the Danube. You don't see it in this photo, but there are many trees, paths...
These two seem oblivious to nature today. I hope ony today.

FOGGY
Woke up at 7 and opened my shutters to view thick fog. I kind of like fog; it's mysterious. Now it is gone...

OW.
I am always surprised that succulents outside do so well in the window. While trying to move in closer, I got poked by one of the 'leaves'. Ow.

AN UNKNOWN SAMARITAN
The sign on a sidewalk above an overpass reads "Careful! Slippery!". And it was. I gingerly ventured out, holding onto the orange railing and armed with my hiking stick. I took a mini-slip and cautiously turned around and went back.
Ever grateful to this kind but unknown samaritan.

SHALL WE DANCE?
Went to get some photos framed the other day. I hadn't been to my framer in a long time, since I am running out of wall space.... This is a new building that had been under construction since my last visit to my framer and it is now finished, though not occupied yet. Its wavy lines recalled THE DANCING HOUSE in Prague. Perhaps a distant cousin (wink).

CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK....OF ICE
Nippy this morning on my dog walk! Our nearby park has several sources of water and are frozen solid. Except of course for one place. I imagine some kids broke the ice last night, scattering pieces everywhere like shattered glass. I liked this chunk. It looks like a very large diamond....

HAPPINESS ON A GRAY WINTRY DAY
Cold, gray, and almost gloomy. However my day is brightened by a humble and 'bien fait' Camembert. No doubt upcoming days will be cheerful too, since in addition to this particular cheese, my son brought me back three others from a ski trip to France. Et un saucisson. Quel bonheur!
P.S. Actually there are two local shops that import French cheese.

ACCIDENTAL CANINE ART
It's been really cold, so haven't taken my camera out much, especially since I have two dogs in charge (returning my granddaughter's dog today) and it isn't easy to stop for a photo when I've got to keep one eye on the pups.
I decided to do some abstracts, and this is one of them, created by my own dog, Madhu. It's what's left over from her rawhide chewie.

UP, UP, AND AWAY
This is a growing section of New Belgrade once (or perhaps still) referred to as Airport City because a nose-to-the-sky jet airplane once s...
