The almond trees are beginning to bloom - השקדיה פורחת




As I mentioned, on my way home from work on Sunday I saw the first almond tree blossoms. Today there were more, with the one tree pictured here already quite in bloom.

Almonds bloom and are quick to fruit. They are the first fruit trees in bloom here in spring.

Never get tired of the Galilee view



I love the clouds covering the lower Galilee mountains... looking like waves out into the distance. Closer by mist gave the trees an almost smokey look.

Winter barely here. I saw almond blossoms on the way home today from work. Will try to take my camera tomorrow to get first pics of the shkedia.
