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.

Need Rain

I took these shots on 5 December, and then we had a storm that I had hoped would herald a nice wet season moving in and be able to do a "before and after" shot. However, the storm moved on after a couple of days and since then we've had very little rain at all.

Things are still very dry and the water situation is serious. Please pray for rain for Israel.

Winter scenes in the Galilee hills

 Many days in the winter the clouds look like waves in the distance. The winter rains add a green to the hillsides. Love these views on my walk to work.

Auld Lang Syne -- going into 2010 in Safed

As we finish up the solar year of 2009 and go into 2010, Safed continues to look great. Winter clouds over the mountains, green on the hills from the rain. Have a great year!

Snow in Tsfat

Here are some pics from this morning. As of now, more light snow is falling. My kids are pleased. I walked in to work to take pics and get out of the house a bit. I didn't bring my laptop in, so these are unedited.

Winter is late...

A few images of the last few weeks.

Some stunning days of clouds and sun.





















That's the view...












And on a sunnier day in the Artist's Quarter. You have to admit, painted utility cabinets are lovely.

Winter Sunset in Tsfat

Sunset over Meron and the mountains on the way home from work.
