AUTUMN GREETINGS

One hour ago - the street leading up to our village - I LOVE those early autumn messengers, oh how dearly I love them. They come out as straight sticks, no leaves and then they open their sweet  fairy flowers, pure white as fresh falling snow - they bloom there by the thousands, near the Bedouins, on the soft hills, pleasing us every day now for a month or so, then the big dark green fleshy leaves will grow into clusters - CHAZAVIM -  חצבים - each year a delight from nature!

    Nature never ceases to amaze me - how it helps us to welcome in each season in with such beauty. At the moment I have a hugh flame tree outside my lounge window with bright orange flowers helping me to welcome in spring

    Olá, amiga!°º♫
    É uma planta muito diferente, gigante, mas flexível, as flores parecem com margaridas, imagino que sejam perfumadas. As fotos estão maravilhosas.
