The Green Scene

Hiya,

It's Orly & Reuven together this time, and we're going to fill you in on the greenery we live with in this part of town.

Our apt is a relatively small one in a really nice part of TA, and the park across our home is a natural wonder, filled with nature, wildlife, people, sports facilities, playgrounds, and, of course, a long and serene river (the Yarkon, as Mike would know by now).

Reuven and I take long late-afternoon walks among the beautiful grass, trees, and tranquility in the park, and are declared bird watchers and digital camera enthusiasts (amateur). We also love to have a simple Friday morning breakfast on the grass in the park, where we can observe the many and diverse ducks that inhabit the river, and share some bread or other snack with them. The picnics and walks in nature are our way of saying to the world "OK, work's over, time for some R&R!"      Smile

The park is not the only place we experience the greenery. We have tall decorated trees (with some real nice flowers) right outside our bedroom window, and at this time of year, green parrots call those trees their home. They're noisy, but we assume that not many people get to see such a site when they wake up in the morning.

About the Chinese, we have lots of restaurants like that throughout the country, and Israelis are in fact very food-culture-aware. And, the interesting thing, is that since both Reuven and I keep kosher, we even have plenty of kosher chinese places to choose from!

Don't want to keep you reading for too long, so we'll sign off for now, and leave you with some original photos I (Orly) took around our home and in the park.

Reuven says: Yup, Orly is a really good photo taker!
Orly says: Not so sure about that  ...

Shalom for now ...

Those are very good photos. I would love to see more. I used to love going to the park and just laying out in the grass on a warm summer day. There is something so peaceful about nature that really soothes the soul. We have such good weather here in Tallahassee, especially during the spring. I have lived here all my life but I still never tire of the natural beauty around me.

You have to be careful feeding the ducks around here. There are sometimes geese mixed in with them and they can be very aggressive. I have seen them chasing small children around until they finally dropped their bread and ran.

Yup, LoL, indeed the geese and even the ducks here can be real aggressive at times.

And we agree, of course, about nature soothing the soul. Since we both, as a couple, like nature very much, we've been out there searching for it all over the country. Still lots more to see ...

Cheers,

Reuven
