Autumn is most definitely here. We feel the cool evenings and the cold mornings. Or is it the other way around? Many of the trees in the area are either ever green or the leaves change colour and drop off almost too quickly for the tree to really be noticed as changing colour. However, there are a few trees that are just glorious to look at.
I love the light streaming through onto our autumn trees in the image above.
This one reminds me so much of a painting I did on silk some years ago of falling autumn leaves. The painting is available for sale if anyone is interested.
The three trees looked so beautiful just a few days ago. This morning when we walked past, the leaves were almost completely gone and the trees? Well just a few twigs really.
It is amazing how the seasons change and so important to take some time out from your busy day to enjoy the beauty of nature. It helps to keep us focused on what life in this land is all about.
Have a wonderful week

De-Stressing with a Walk in Spring Time
Moving apartments / homes 42 times in ones life is stressful to say the least. I decided to have a breather and take a walk. After walking for over 10 minutes I was grateful to see some trees with blossoms / flowers. I love nature and I love flowers so this was a real treat. I happened to have my phone on me and hence was able to take a few photographs.
Enjoy the flowers and the blossoms that are starting to come out in Eretz Yisrael. Remember from Rosh Chodesh Nissan we will need to say a blessing on fruit trees that are blossoming. There are certain Hallachot related to this Mitzvah. There is a time limit to this Mitzvah, one of the beautiful Mitzvot that is possible to fulfill only in the land of Israel.
I hope you enjoy both the photo's and the spring that has begun in the Holy Land. For more thoughts on spring in Israel, visit our previous Guest Post on Spring and Life in a small village in Israel.
