Things in Trees

March 8, 2009

This photo was taken in Jerusalem, in December. I love all the fruit trees in Israel, especially pomegranate trees. I had never been in the winter before, however, and it was kind of surprising to see plant life out of bloom. It’s still so beautiful, though, and the power of symbols is incredible.

And this photo was taken in Rhode Island, during a bright winter day that I thought was like spring in disguise. All the robins were out.

Quebec City

August 14, 2008

I’ve been to Quebec City twice, each time for Carnival. Think: February. Think: extreme negative temperatures (try -60 with windchill). Think: ice hotel, drinking rum from a weird candy-cane tube, bonhomme, sledding/tubing, maple syrup, and horse drawn sleigh rides. It is basically a winter wonderland. Maybe I should go back in the summer– when you don’t risk freezing your face off! A lot of Quebec City has a very old feel to it, with churches and stone-work buildings.
