I'll be away at a conference for the next few days so it will take me a few extra days to make the rounds this week. Enjoy this little taste of Israeli almost-springtime while I'm gone.

. The sun finally returned and the wildflowers are in full bloom. Better yet, a friend and I played hooky last Thursday and went on a whopper of a photowalk in the fields near her house. We found these anemones (kalaniot in Hebrew, and much beloved), this dandelion, and of course the star of the show, these almond blossoms.
.
And if you haven't already, after you're done here don't forget to pop by my One World One Heart giveaway for a chance to win an 8x10 of any of the images in my etsy shop.

Then, when you're done with that, head over to Ruby Tuesday at Mary's place for lots more ruby red goodness.

Anemones, ghosts of the forest... I love them.

ReplyDeleteI love this shot, Robin! The arrangement of the flowers and the color RED of course. Marvelous center in-focus flower! Thanks for playing Ruby Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pop of color in anticipation of Spring...
ReplyDeleteLovely wildflowers in ruby look much bigger that their size suggests as they grow adrift in that sea of green. Beautiful days over there, we await the wildflowers around here...
ReplyDeleteWow good for you, you've seen colorful wildflowers already. We still are covered with snow so it will take time to see colors ^_^ Happy ruby red tuesday!
