365 Project: Day 3

This tree is supposed to be providing shade

My son insisted that I sit in a spot on the grass where I can see him come down the slide. The only problem with this is that if I'm facing the slide, I'm facing west, with the setting sun right in my face. The tree was doing a good job blocking the sun for a while, and then it wasn't. At least I got a good picture out of it (and the song "here comes the sun" stuck in my head).

365 Project: Day 2

A second train sitting next to the train I was on

I don't usually drive to Tel Aviv, mostly because I don't know it well, but also because if you take into account the gas, the parking and the stress, it comes out cheaper to take public transportation. I took the train to Tel Aviv and a taxi to Nahalat Binyamin. I had a fun couple of hours buying fabrics & notions, and then met a friend for lunch. On the way back I was sitting in the train station, when this bright red train stopped next to us. The combination of the red, the yellow warning sign and the black grills (I wonder what they're for) caught my eye and I decided that would be my picture of the day.
I also took a picture of some fabrics, but I think that the train picture is much nicer.

 

fabrics outside a store in Nahalat Binyamin in Tel Aviv

 Last year (I'm pretty sure it was around June), I saw some really nice fabric in this store, but since it was the first store I went into, I decided not to buy it before I saw some other things. I spent the past year thinking about this black-purple-plaid fabric, and wishing I had bought it. Well, here I was, a year later, and there was the fabric! The last 2 meters. It was rather expensive, but there was no way I was giving up on fabric I had been thinking about for a year... So, I bought it. Yey!

365 Project: Day 1

Flowers & Trees on the way back from the park

There's just something about the way that the light falls between the buildings on these flowers. Usually, at the time we come home from the park, the sun shines exactly on the yellow flowers, making it absolutely impossible to take a good picture (believe me, I tried), but It's very pretty to look at in reality (real reality, not a reality TV show). Today was partly cloudy, so I got a pretty good shot.

I get the feeling a lot of my 365 project posts are going to include the phrase "there's just something about..."
