Levi Forest Excursion

Friday, March 10, 2006

Hi all!

A week ago, we took off to the Levi forest where we heard there were beautiful Cyclamens, but on the way also saw a beautiful field of Anemones, so we stopped to take pictures...

I was in such a rush to leave after our congregational service, that I forgot my camera So I used helped take pictures of people with their cameras
here, Joanna is sitting a bit uncomfortably as she's worried about caterpillars climbing up on her...
We heard that they were very itchy if they got up under your clothes

Tehila among the Anemones Ruth Among the beautiful red flowers (she dressed to fit in with them this time)
Ilona, too, was wearing red like the anemones around her

It's amazing that we found full Anemones... Daisys...
And other flowers in this field...
As it was covered with caterpillars (you had to watch where you stepped as they caught on to your pant legs. days later, I still found them in my car!)

We reached our destination; the Levi Forest And it was even more pretty than we'd heard it was
Tehila & Ilona hopped out of the car first and took lots of shots of the beauty around us
Ilona's pictures out caught the light rays best

Ilona and Ruth on "the rock"
A man and his wife came by and we thought he was a seasoned photographer by the size of his mamoth camera
So we asked him to take a shot, and the only good one he took out was on Sepia mode (I like it, though)

It's so amazing how each of the photographers saw the same batch of flowers in a different way through their lenses...
My favorite; baby irises!

After a while, we took a break from taking photos and ate our picnic lunch talked, and kept shooting pictures...
