the trees and their wonderful shadows...

we stopped off to drink tea and look for snails...
the sun and the moon...
and then we went to visit ein kerem - an old artists village...so beautiful

    Beautiful, beautiful photos, Julie. The light, and those curly tree shadows... thanks for the stroll and the refreshing sip of tea - all that walking had me a little parched.
    Wonderful!
