Sidewalk mosaic
The city adorned a path leading up to a local community center with a series of mosaics. I took a walk out there this morning, and took photos of them. One of the concrete panels is blank, which is a little odd. Hopefully that will also be filled at some point.
Marriage v13.0
Today is our 13th wedding anniversary, and we both took the day off (I’ve taken the rest of this week off – I feel like I’m due for a breather from work after a busy ±8 months). We did a repeat of our last anniversary, and went for a hike up Givat HaTitora just outside […]

Walking to the library the long way
I wanted to go for a walk this morning. We have some overdue library books so I decided to walk to the library. I managed to drop off one of the books, and got some exercise in the process. I made a point of doing more walking before I bought my Fitbit, but having the […]
Pretty Purple
I often walk to the supermarket for our weekly shop. This morning I noticed these pretty purple flowers (roses?) on a street corner. Google Photos tries hard to come up with creative variations. Its attempt for this one didn’t quite work out, though:
