The fig tree waits

.

 In contrast to the wild almond trees that are currently full of white blossoms, the old fig tree stands, branches exposed.


Not even one fig leaf to cover its winter nakedness.


It has been growing next to our underground spring for who knows how long.

  2. The tree feels as if counting time on his own. The one in our garden looks the same. Please have a good Thursday.

  8. I like to see your pictures. Very interesting and so very different from our part of the world, in so many ways. As a Christian, they are doubly interesting. Thank you...=)
