MORNING WALK


I was not well and house bound for a little while. This morning I went outside into the sun for the first time after three weeks. There was so much to enjoy, so many things to see, small and modest and gorgeous, and oh so pretty - we had a great walk, lovely Ella and I, just around the neighborhood and through the meadow...



"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."
(From the movie "The Secret Garden")








Come with me and see for yourself...  :-)





















I am better now and thankful for every good day!


GOOD BYE SPRING - till next year



Spring is over almost everywhere here in Israel, prevailing only in the mountains. At our highest one, the Hermon in the north, spring has even not arrived yet. But in the flat land and the valleys the celebration is mostly over. The days are starting to be hot and the colors change into hues of brown and beige. This does not mean there are no wildflowers at all to be found anymore, but the dramatic nature concert of the last months has slowed down to a quieter and softer melody.
Here are some photos to remember and enjoy.














This is a very small selection, there is a tremendous variety of Mediterranean flora here and I had a hard time to decide on the photos. They are all taken by my husband Uri Eshkar.
