Click on the photo to see the wet bird!
Birds of a feather, the sparrows and I share a secret. They know this is a safe private place for bathing and I know it is a calm empty place for my picnic.
Finding any spot to sit and eat your sandwich in Jerusalem's small and crowded Old City is not easy.This little garden just outside the entrance to the Tower of David (the Citadel) seems to be like a secret garden because most of the time no one is there. Except birds.

These birdies are for Camera-Critters Sunday.

Thanks for sharing this secret sport with us :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious secret place you found, Dina.
ReplyDeleteJohn shalom. Wait, eating and bird-bathing are not a "secret sport." Ah, you meant "spot"! ;) OK. hehe
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it's not a secret anymore. But the vast majority of my readers are not Jerusalemites, so I guess it won't get crowded.
Anyway, it would be fun to bump into a fellow blogger at the Citadel garden.
Jilly, glorious, yes, just like your many little hidden pearls in Menton.
One definition of oasis is: A situation or place preserved from surrounding unpleasantness; a refuge: an oasis of serenity amid chaos.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what you have here, a refuge from the surrounding chaos.
Beautiful photos! What a nice serene place...

Dina, it looks like a lovely place for your picnic.
ReplyDeleteRob, you could be talking about either the garden or Israel. Either way, you are right about the oasis.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly looks like a peaceful, pleasant picnic spot, Dina.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a perfect spot to eat your lunch with your feathered friends.
ReplyDeleteDina - what a perfect place! And the wet bird looks SO wet when the photo is enlarged.

Lovely and peaceful place.. Enjoy you picnics..
ReplyDeleteIt looks both peaceful and restful. It's wonderful to be able to find a spot just like this for a little reflection. It's beautiful in its simplicityl
ReplyDeleteAnd a lovely spot it is too. I bet the birds are glad for any crumbs you might leave.
ReplyDeleteWow, how did I not know about this great spot:) thanks for the "secret info."
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.

Fountains and gardens - what could be more restful for a lunch-break? If I had the resources (of any kind :-) ) I would have had one of these in my garden.
ReplyDeletePS However - we have plenty of water ...
some times after the rain, I see birds taking a bath in the puddles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely corner, the perfect place for a sandwich... with a show!
