A midday walk to recycle plastic bottles

In the early afternoon today, we took a walk to our post office box to check for mail also to deposit empty plastic bottles into the big recycling cage that is located next to the mail distribution center. Here are some pictures that I took along the way.

First, a bee doing her work on a flower:
In this next picture, we see two different kinds of flowers, both of which are quite common around here this year. The white flowers are actually a little more purplish white than they look in this picture, probably because the bright sunlight is washing them out a bit. The orange flowers were quite rare in previous years but are blooming everywhere this year.

I got David to take this picture so that you could see ME! So, here I am, putting one of the empty plastic bottles into the recycling cage.

These beautiful yellow flowers were actually in someone's yard, so I don't think they are wild flowers. But they still are very nice!

I saw these small white flowers quite near our house.

In this view, you can see part of our house on the right, with mustard flowers in the foreground and our yellow car behind them. If it had been less hazy, you would also be able to see part of the Golan in the background. The mustard has been extra plentiful this year, and, like in Southern California, is probably the most common flower seen all over this part of the country.
