Seasons Change

The day is mostly overcast.

The air is crisp.

The earthy smell of fall wafts all around.

And this, this is going on across from my house today.

In May, we passed 30 years in this location.

This has been our home longer than any other place, before or after we got married.

We both, at the same time, share the thought that;

“We never tire of watching the seasons change here.”

Frank and Deb

Do you have a place that you “Never tire” of being?

A something that you never tire of looking at?

Feel free to share!

We’d all love to see!

October is My Favorite Color

I’m not a fan of Halloween; but I do love me some October!

Sometimes bright.
Sometimes not.
Incredible Contrast.
Beautiful skies.
Great frames for great views.
Full of road trip surprises!
Gorgeous foggy mornings.
Habitat for deer makes itself visible.
A Quiet Place For You to Rest;
won’t you take a minute to do just that?
The first to see change.
In the heart land of America.
The harvest happens;
and feeds the world.

I’m working on some new thoughts for next time.

I hope to see you then.

Day # 7 – Israel – Haifa

Good Morning Herzylia, Israel!
Our touring began with cruising along the Mediterranean Sea.
What a lovely drive – A different lovely than what I’m accustomed to.
Port of Acre – Crusader Halls
Just the beginning.

I have many photos to share from the Crusader Halls.

There was so much history here, I can’t possibly repeat it all.

Enjoy the photos, and if you like, check the link and get the history, and the scope, of this place.

A fleur de lis for my collection.
Into the market
I love walls, and texture, and brick, and this.
How about you?
Walk this way.
Complete with a hologram of the crusaders!
Out we go.
On the way to Rosh Hanrika

Here we are.
Taking the cable car down to the Grottos.

After leaving the Grotto, we went up the hill to the Lebanese border.

While we were here , our group reached our hands over the border and prayed for both countries.

After leaving Rosh Hanrika, we headed toward Haifa.

Not the clearest photos get taken from a moving bus,
But they help to tie the places together.
Like pieces of a puzzle.
Different parts of a whole.
Here’s a bonus wall.
Haifa – Worldwide Headquarters of the Ba Hai faith.

At the end of this day, the eve of our last day, we celebrated at a farewell dinner at the Dan Panorama Hotel.

All ten buses met for an enormous dinner, and farewell remarks from Jane and several other of our leaders.

Then off to our separate hotels for a much needed rest.

Join me again next time for our last tour day. Day #8.
