Some recent photos

It’s raining. Unseasonable rain, I guess, but I’m not complaining, since the long, hot summer is around the corner. If this is the rain’s last hurrah until late fall, then, as Shakespeare famously said, let it come down.

In the meantime, here are a few photos.

Woodpeckers are camera-shy, so I was pretty happy to get this shot:

More photos after the jump.

This moth landed upside-down in two different places.

    Thank you, Elisson! It was a synagogue in the Ramot neighborhood. Unfortunately, I forget its name, but it belongs to the Kurdish community. It was my first time there. The building was beautiful and the people were lovely as could be.
