Photos and some thoughts for Weekend Reflections, Shadow Shot Sunday, and Camera-Critters..
These ten days are an intense, emotional time for Israelis.We go from somber Holocaust to Remembrance Day for Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Enemy Actions and then immediately to Independence Day celebrations.
.
That's a lot for one little country just 63 years old.
.
Instead of birds atop flagpoles, we will soon see the national flag flying for the double holiday.Flags are already starting to be displayed on homes, stores, and cars.
.
Meanwhile, have a peaceful Sabbath day. Shabbat shalom!
.
I think having birds instead of flags on those poles is a rather cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI HAD A LITTLE SHADOW
(With apologies to Mother Goose)
I had a little shadow
No bigger than my thumb;
I took him to the meadow
And there I gave him rum.
My drunken little shadow
Did weave and bob and pitch;
He stumbled from the meadow
And fell into a ditch!

That is my link for today. Hope you have a great weekend, and if you celebrate mother's day...enjoy!!!
Sending you and Israel the warmest, most sincere wishes during this time!
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you met a blogging couple/family from Norway, land of my ancestors!
I send you a cyber piece of cake on my blog anniversary today!
Shalom my CDP friend, Dina!
Beautiful photos, Dina.
ReplyDeleteAn emotional time for Israel, indeed. So much sadness, so much joy.

Shalom to you during this busy time of remembrance and celebration. Nice ShadowShots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo with the candle, mirror and shadow.
ReplyDeleteI always learn here, Dina, and I'm entertained as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your caring comments on my blog today. All is well.
You have so many reasons to be proud of your nation. Here we will soon celebrate the WW2 Victory day and in years it turns into profanation which disturbs me. There is nothing much to unite the nation in our last 90 years history, so politicians use the only strongest item in full speed. Which completely devalues this great-great day..
ReplyDeleteSending the best greetings from Norway to Israel! I still hope that I get the Israeli flag in the balcony on Tuesday. Otherwise it will be at least some small inside and pita bread, hehe:-)
ReplyDeleteI like the first picture very much.
Dear friends, thanks for your comment contributions.
ReplyDeleteIrina, that is sad.
Always a kind and warm wind around the flag of yours.
ReplyDeleteA silent bow once again and the wish for a good Sunday as well.
Beautiful blue sky for his birds eye view. nice shot.
ReplyDeleteDear Dina, I wish you a blessed celebration of your Independence Day of the state of Israel. What an eventful week you had. May there be peace!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's very intense, Dinah! Your country may be 63 years old legally, but as a people group you have been the oldest in history!! Honor to whom honor is due:)
ReplyDeleteIt is good to remember where you have come from, and who has helped you. I am glad Israel exists.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Wishing you peace and calm for the next ten days and beyond. I wish your country could have it forever.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to the valiant little nation!

It is good to reflect and remember. Important.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures : the remembrance candle is so cute... But the second shot looks like a very strong symbol to me, full of emotions.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day from USA!
ReplyDeleteMy best and most sincere wishes to the Land of Israel!
ReplyDeleteI would love to experience a year in Israel. I only spent 10 days there one summer and it just wasn't enough!
ReplyDeleteThe picture with the candle is nice and moving, Dina.
