.November in Israel. There's just nothing like it.
.
Park Darom - just ten minutes from home.
.We spent the morning doing brunch in the park with friends, complete with freshly-made omelettes and coffee, not to mention an obscene amount of side dishes. The company was great, the weather was positively glorious, there were birds to feed, waterskiiers to watch... Yes, I said waterskiiers. Look carefully at the pictures, though. Notice anything strange? Like the lack of some basic equipment, like, say, a boat??? Yes folks, this is cable waterskiing. Has to be seen to be believed. I tried it twenty years ago and was amazed to see that other than a proliferation of wake boarders and a few trick ramps not much has changed.
.Tel Aviv. From the sublime straight through to the ridiculous. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Notice the cables?

Why do I live here? Days like this are why.

The weather looks gorgeous! Wish is was sunny and warm here (we have cold and rain right now--ick). Great pictures of the kids and the park.
I've never heard of that park. I want to check it out.
You definitely should. It's good-sized, has loads of playground equipment and picnic tables, ducks to feed, a train to ride (for a small fee), etc. There are boats to rent as well but they were closed today. (Not sure I'd want to though, the water was a bit green...). Oh, and the entry is free :). The park's official name is Park Menachem Begin now if you're looking it up.
That's beautiful! Enjoy it
I've never heard of cable waterskiing. Looks like fun (but I wouldn't try it myself.)
*sigh*
November West of Mars: Rainy with a probability of snow.
I envy you at times.

Simply beautiful! Love the fact that you have a duck and what looks like a small reindeer in the same park. Beautiful weather for november. I'm in Ohio and it's cold and snowy ;o(
