In Israel I do a lot of walking. As opposed to when I walk at home in Seattle I have no
iPod for listening to music, no smart phone with which to do a number of things
while I’m walking and no "books on tape". Without technology I find myself seeing and hearing the environment
around me differently that I would if I
was listening to music or talking on the phone. It's quite beautiful.
Yesterday I decided to carry my camera with me all day. I went to the Jerusalem Botanical
Gardens to see what was in bloom there. Then I walked to my class at the Conservative Yeshiva several miles away, after which I walked
home, another mile or two. I want to
share the beautiful colors that I saw as I walked in the Gardens and around
Jerusalem.
