Spring 2012/5772

Took a walk on Sunday afternoon Chol Hamoed. Spring is lovely after a good winter of rain.

Great colors in the Old City with flowers in bloom and blue pain renewed for Pesach.

The quiet of Tsfat may seem boring to some. I find it peaceful and restful and beautiful.

Leading to the Mayan Haradum square.


Flowers and the colors of the Artists's Quarter

Antiquities built into the rebuilt walls.

Even the mail boxes are artistic.

New figs are still small and unripe. I love the smell of the fig trees.

Old city wall with rose bush in bloom.

It's also bird migration season. Caught this glimpse from between the walls of an Old City alley.

Some trees in waiting for their spring green.

Leading down to the famous cemetary, all is green.

We notice the years as yellow, or red, or occasionally blue. Sometimes it goes straight to brown, if there haven't been enough rains. This year is a "yellow year".
The yellow carpet of the cemetary. Behind the tree in the center and covered with an overhead shelter is the Ari's gravesite.
