This is the countryside of our Jerusalem Hills, also known as the Hills of Judea.Ancient agricultural terrace walls all around.
Summer means blue cloudless skies and lots of heat.
Summer knows no green on the ground, only dry brown.
The rains end around March and begin again only in late September or October.

SkyWatch Friday posts are pretty boring here at Jerusalem Hills daily photo during the long hot summer.
Be patient.

Blue is blue is blue. Pretty flowers though.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is doing laundry today. She would appreciate a whole day of those blue skies. Hmmm... I just looked out the window. Our skies look rather like yours... right now.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and your landscape. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blue skies...I don't know what kind of flowering plant those are..but they sure do make the brown grasses look good.
ReplyDeleteKnow just how you feel Dina. It is the same here.

ReplyDeleteWell, this photo is not boring in the least....and the blue and tan brown color combination is always a pleasing one, in my humble opinion anyhow!
ReplyDeleteHence the flag!

"Blue enters the soul." Matisse. Probably more than a year, since last seen such nice flowers. Much appreciated picture. Please have a safe and good Friday.

In spite of the lack of rainfall, catching a glimpse of green and a lonesome flower made the shot beautiful though looks really quite hot what with the blue sky and no clouds at all!
ReplyDeletethis is pretty Dina! I love your shot! :)
It is not at all boring. The wild flowers make it pretty interesting. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgous, Dina! Happy skywatching and happy Friday!

Sorry to hear that the heat is still around, I'm so glad that I alwasys came there during spring!
ReplyDeleteImagine this is the land where Jesus walked. What is the pretty flower?
ReplyDeleteThere's that lovely lavender bloom, whatever it is.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some reprieve from the heat soon. 40C+ is not funny.
