I love to walk in the midst of trees! Aspen trees are especially unique with their shimmery gold leaves and trunks with character. The markings are strikingly different on each tree and I find it fascinating to walk through them and observe their different personalities!

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Byron.
I was coming back from an early morning appointment for my second Covid vaccination today, and on a whim I decided to get off the bus a few stops before my flat, and go for a stroll through Saughton Park Gardens, which isn't too far from my home.
The Gardens were renovated in a huge project in recent years, and while other parts boast the usual playground for small children, and a huge skatepark for the bigger kids (and adults who still talk to their inner kid!), this part is a huge, walled garden, filled with elegant walks, sculpted hedges and endless herbs and flowers. Even on a cloudy morning the colours were an absolute delight to the senses, the scents in the air, the buzzing of many bees zooming from flower to flower, and the air filled with the songs of birds.
Quite wonderful. I wish I'd had my tripod to do steadier close-up shots of the flowers and make them crisper, but what the hell, you take what you can with what you have with yout.

Dance on the clouds above,
Take a walk up in the sky,
Feel as free as the birds flying with us,
Up in the clouds so high.
I held back the tears that I felt,
For the others just couldn`t see,
The excitement deep within my heart,
For my dream now had become a reality.
I ask for happiness and health,
For everyone each day,
I make wishes for peace amongst man,
In each and every way.
Such few dreams as a child,
I pray to have come true ,
One was walking in the clouds,
As I snuggled close to you.
Needing to remind myself. It's been almost 5 weeks since my fall. Maybe another month or so once I've done physio. I'll be waiting for the snow and ice to go away first too.

Oh, what a difference a year makes. Last year everything was brown and dry and this year everything is green and no 100 degree days.

A strong wind and a sunset that didn't last long. Really glad I made it to do this one. A view that took me 2 hours to drive. Luckaly I had a friend with me for company.
This beach is in The Hague, The Nether of Dutchylands politic capital.
Morning walk in the Punit Van, Gandhingar. The rainy season had added green color all around and the overcast sky ensured that there were no harsh shadows. The Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 lens made my wife stand out against the greenery.
The situation in Ukraine became dire when Russia launched an attack, forcing many Russians who opposed Putin and refused to join the army to flee the country. Fortunately, my friends and I were lucky enough to have Jewish heritage., which enabled us to repatriate to Israel. We met in Haifa, where we are all struggling to adjust to our new lives. While we are grateful to be safe, we are also aware of the uncertainty that lies ahead.
As a new immigrant, I am faced with the challenge of finding employment while learning Hebrew. Meanwhile, my friends have just graduated from university and are contemplating their next steps in this unfamiliar territory. Forced emigration is never easy, but we are determined to make the best of our situation and move forward.
Despite the challenges we face, we take comfort in the fact that life goes on. We continue to persevere and embrace our new reality, with hope and optimism for what the future may hold.
While life in forced emigration is far from easy, we are doing our best to adapt and carry on. The mother of one of these boys asked me to take a photo of her son and his friend, which serves as a reminder that even amidst hardship, moments of connection and joy can still be found.
It was a bright sunny day thus the sky was beautiful. I always loved the combination of nature with people. Here is my niece enjoying her walk in the lavender field.
