Snapshots of spring

In honor of Resurrection Sunday, thought I would share some of the photos I've taken in the past couple weeks of spring here in and around Jerusalem . . . I'm not a photographer by any means, but these were views and colors that caught my attention--enjoy!












I know a lot of these look like simply grass and wildflowers. While that is true, they are unique in that the green will likely only last another month, maybe two. By the end of June, it will be hot and dry here; the flowers will be gone as will the lush green grass. Hills and roadsides have not been this green and colorful in months, so it is a fresh, new view for those of us living here. The last picture was taken this morning--the bright limestone against the brilliant blue sky caught my attention.

Have a great spring day!
