Qumran Cave 4

Qumran Cave 4 is without a doubt the most photographed of all the caves at Qumran. But I still like a couple photos I’ve taken. In this one, I like how the light is coming through the opening from the backside.

I like this one too, but you can’t tell it’s Cave 4 because of the close cropping.

Looking for Privacy?

If you are looking for privacy; you know, a kind of private prayer closet, the Western Wall probably isn’t the most logical choice.

Texas and Israel Bluebonnets

This time of year in central/north central Texas usually means Bluebonnets. It’s common for the girls/women in a family to sit among the flowers to have their photos taken with the natural beauties. Following the Bluebonnet theme of the last two posts, here are my girls: one born in Texas, the other in Israel.

Texas Bluebonnets

Here’s the flower that I thought was similar to the “Bluebonnet.”

Texas Bluebonnet – Lupinus texensis
 

Israel Bluebonnet

I’ve always thought this flower looks so much like the Texas Bluebonnet, that I named it the Israel Bluebonnet. Turns out that it’s from the same family as the Texas Bluebonnet.

Blue Lupin – Lupinus pilosus
