כַּבֵּד אֶת-אָבִיךָ, וְאֶת-אִמֶּךָ--לְמַעַן, יַאֲרִכוּן יָמֶיךָ, עַל הָאֲדָמָה, אֲשֶׁר-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָך

OK. So I'm excited. But I'm also scared. She's doing things I can only dream about. Though she's got her kids on her side. Which is something I can only wish for and know it won't come through.


Let's wait now. My Iranian friend is supposed to come to Israel and of course I am willing to help her as much as I can. I will subdue the hurt my own children have caused me and take on this new 'mission'.

I look forward to it as well. My brave Iranian sister is acting upon my words.... like: wanting change and making change happen. I wish I would have her courage. Or only a one hundreth percent of it...


today I went walking again (what else can i do? nobody from my so-CALLED "family' here are interested in how I feel or spend my days) and following here are the photos of the truly magnificent sights I spotted, while this, I think, is my way of connecting to God.

in a truly deserted part of the park... what's the name of this bird?

same question:


and him turning his ass on me:


toekie:


it maybe cannot been seen on this photo but the stem of this tree truly resembled a harp...



Sandpiper (I think)


Sandpiper playing kookoo with me :P


A feather that looked like it had a face drawn on it when I saw it but not now that I look at it at the photos...



The white breasted kingfisher (or white throated) again wanting to show off, hahaha



and, of course, the original magnificently beautiful Kingfisher was around as well this morning...


I'm worried about my baby :( The juvenile black crowned night heron looks so skinny and I also never see her or him catch any fish :(


The "whatever rat' (wrongfully by all israeli's seeing him called a lutra) was around and about again. this time he fancied some rolls people threw at him;


Share my beauty, but make efforts in obtaining that... that's what this dragonfly seems to say... and I made lots of efforts (have tens of photos trying to capture this magic moment in picture) and you decide whether I succeeded or not:



Another week in where I go on doing what I am obliged to do but with an aching heart since the real and only reason I am here turned their backs on me :(

shevua tov.

Totally left alone by my children (I didn't even receive an sms from son) - I start to break down. It's not them. It's me. I shouldn't have given all these years to a cause that ends up disappointing me. Well...


today:


crabs on crab rock;




the view from the big mezah today:





(a bit of photoshopping here, hehehe)

Mr. Escaper




and another mistur who makes it fun to make fun of me:


the following are a series of photos of Mr. Egret trying to swallow a very big fish (well for his throat it's big)








Isn't it amazing that huge fish didn't leave a lump in his slender throat?


That's it. Tomorrow Shabat. Not even my son called or sms'ed me. So far for "respect your parents". I suppose even religion can be taken out of context when the one preaching it is my ex....


Shabat Shalom...

the park this evening (a couple of hours ago)


"interesting photo"


"interesting photo #2"


"interesting photo #3"


I don't know why they turned out that way but I kinda like it :)

someone is looking at you


yes.... it's him (again) he's back


"my" juvenile


vinous starlings over my head:


"he-he-he"


Speed #1, #2, #3, #4 & #5






(one time I will succeed in making a real clear photo of the pied kingfisher -that's the bird that's being photographed here)

I didn't notice much of the holiday this time. I have been left alone by my children (the only family I have in Israel) and alone I am not that much in contact with holidays. At least I had a few days off so that was nice. And also that Gilad came back home. Not that this influences me personally but still it was nice to have some positive news in the media for a change.

I have been feeling very sad and I don't think that will change any time soon. If now I would be asked "would you do it all over again?" I would most certainly say NO!!!
