Flowers along the trail to Monfort

Here are just a few of the most beautiful pictures that I took of the absolutely gorgeous flowers that were everywhere along the path down to Monfort. First, some lovely lavender ones that are shaped like Greek crosses. These were very common there, and I've seen lots of them all over the Galil, as well.

Next, a very nice red kalanit (anemone) with a small yellow flower near it. The kalaniot (plural of "kalanit") are found all over northern Israel, including our neighborhood, and they are probably my favorites because of the extremely vivid red color. What a treat they are!

Here's a lovely sunny yellow flower with a shy little purple flower near it.

Here's a beautiful pale blue, crinkly flower with a bug paying a visit. I didn't even realize that the bug was there until I got home and looked at the pictures!

I saw lots of white flowers like these, but I think this was the prettiest picture that I got of them. They're difficult to photograph because they are so pure white that they looked washed out very easily.
