Today and tomorrow mark the beginning of the new Hebrew-calendar month of Iyar. This time of the year is gorgeous in Israel, and particularly in my beloved hometown of Ashdod on Israel's southern Mediterranean coast. The air here is perfumed with the fragrance of citrus blossoms. The sky is a clear deep blue. The wheat is ripening. The sea is calm. Let me share a few photos with you, to start off a lovely week and a beautiful new month:

Blessings for a wonderful need week and month!

Lovely photos. I spent a few days in Ashdod in Sep. 1997 staying at a friend's place and swam at the beach there. Maybe I'll visit the city again soon...
Prayers for the Holy Land.
