Very promising start Michael !  ;D  At least I hope it's only a start...

Wonderful series and as Maggi mentioned it : an awful lot of colour in these gardens. 

Looks like you had splendid weather too !  Makes a change to what we've been used to the last month or so.

Thanks for sharing !  ;)

Batch 2. All the pics of Scenery were taken through the window of a moving bus with a cheap digital camera,so the quality reflects this.

The Wailing wall is quite famous for another reason. There is a colony of about 50 pairs of common swifts nesting in the cracks and crevices. In the summer the fly screaming just above the heads of thoese present

Very impressive series Michael. Thanks for showing so many interesting places.
Didn't you get the feeling of getting out of the bus, when driving through these
landscapes to botanise in the mountains and fields?  ;D
