MONDAY MURALS --HUNGRY DOG?

 Not sure which came first---the recycling bags or the hungry dog.

HAPPY EASTER

 Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate.

This red egg is called the 'čuvar kuće,' (CHOO-var KOO-chay) or 'guardian of the house' and is usually the first egg colored. Of course it is hard-boiled and stands on a shelf all year long to protect the family and house from harm.

STAND-OFFISH

 I must admit I am not a cat person. I tolerate them, but just don't want one. That said, I am intrigued by their habits. I have often noticed that, unlike dogs, cats don't like to share their bed, cushion, chair, etc. Here's an example.

TREES ALONG THE DANUBE

 It's been on and off overcast; yesterday was overcast with little bursts of rain.

I walked with my dog along the river and managed to get home without getting too wet.

KOI

 Short out-of-town visit yielded this photo of some koi in a pond. Nothing special; just pretty!

CHURCH OF ARCHANGEL MIHAILO

SAINT MICHAEL'S CHURCH, located in Old Belgrade, is seen here from the New Belgrade sign.

"APRIL SHOWERS BRING.....

 ...May Flowers," so they say, but April brings us pretty shoes. Maybe these are not to your taste, but they are colorful.

MONDAY MURALS--BETA VUKANOVIC

Beta Vukanovic (1872-1972) was born in Germany, but lived nearly all her life in Belgrade.  She was an Impressonist at first, then  became a Realist. She was also a caricaturist, and orifinated the art of serbian caricature. She died in Belgrade at the age of 100.

FROM FAR AWAY

 From a dog walk yesterday. I dug out my old Nikon Coolpix P510 bridge camera that I bought in 2013. They're still on Amazon, selling for $145.00 in the US. I bought it mainly for its 42x zoom, which is equivalent to up to 1000mm. Cheaper than buying a zoom lens of that equivalent. I only use it for far-away shots, and it has rarely disappointed me. This duck, resting on  a log in the Danube, was quite far away, and the photo quality is decent. The downside is that the battery does not last so long, so I have to carry a spare. But I do that anyway with my new Nikon mirrorless, so.....

THE ONE I REALLY WANT

 Yesterday I showed you a cute selection of bowls and cups wearing various expressions. They were all white. Here are a couple more....I really want the one that's been kissed...

HAPPY FACES...MOSTLY..AND A QUEEN

 I have passed by this shop many times. They've had these cute cups and matching dishware for a long time. Now Queen Elizabeth sends her greetings....from afar. 

I asked the price once for one bowl and it was expensive, so I haven't added it to my collection. Tomorrow I will show you one I really like.
