A nice day out exploring
can never be boring
when the sky is blue
and there is much to do.
You while away the hours
listening to the flowers
as they talk to the bees
with friendship and ease.
You watch the wind tease
the fallen leaves
or ruffle the trees
with a cooling breeze.
You raise you face
to the sun's embrace
and know no better way
and know no better way
to spend an April day.
♡
Featured: Enjoying another day out
in this best of springs.
















Beautiful photos! What lens do you use for the insect photos?
ReplyDeleteI only use the one all-purpose lens, yet to venture into the field of specialized lenses.
DeleteYour pictures convey a feeling that exactly matches your words. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely things to see and enjoy along the way. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Amalia! Thank you for sharing your day with us!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. The food looks absolutely yummy

You certainly do know how to have the best of Spring! Here's to a great summer ahead too!
ReplyDeleteWren x
I fully expect to wilt during the summer but I'll try :-)
DeleteI feel like I was there with you! What did we eat, I don't remember ..... I know it was delicious though!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos ...... I wish my camera would play ball like this!
Hugs,

What a great day out!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Love
"no better way to spend an April day"!!! Makes me smile!! blessings and hugs ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful..simple and true..our April is not quite as advanced..but we are getting there:)
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful! Such lovely scenes and the food always intrigues me. 🙂
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of a lovely day out!! I love how deep green everything is, that is one of the things I love about spring is when all that was brown turns to green :) Lovely poem to capture the day!!
ReplyDeleteI love the green as well, all the more for knowing that it will soon turn brown.
DeleteHi dear Amalia ,, que bonito dia , unas bellas y entretenidas fotos , espero que tengas un Buen Día
ReplyDeleteOh my! All so gorgeous! The food photos look so yummy! What is the one with the eggs and asparagus? I want some!
ReplyDeleteYes, that was surprisingly delicious. It said lentil salad on the menu so we did not expect this extravagant creation.
DeleteHi Amalia. Your photos are beautiful and show off your world in springtime. It may look something like that here next month....I hope! We woke to a dusting of snow this morning which has since melted but it is a cool week here. I wish you a beautiful week ahead. xx Pam
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Such beautiful photos! Looks like it was a FABULOUS day out. Most importantly, where did you eat? It looks sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteAt Hatishbi, just outside Zichron. And yes, it was good :-)
DeleteAmalia, I'm always amazed at how you capture the very essence of life around you so perfectly that one feels as though they're right there beside you, enjoying it all. Your poems are the icing on the cake. xo
ReplyDeleteCurious about the dish with the asparagus, and the name of the "kever" in your first capture! A vineyard ... so I can imagine, France? (this is how it looks around where I live) Many thanks Amalia for sharing all these lovelies and sharing the critters in the pink flower with All Seasons! And also for your kind comment:)
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a kever. Well spotted! But why it was shaped like a horseshoe I could not work out.
DeleteRhank you Amalia. Nice poem and beautiful photos. I love the flowers but alos the food. Mjammie!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day for sure, Amalia. Lucky you and thanks for sharing it with us. Wherever it is, I would like to be there...lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd wouldn't we love to have you with us, Kim.
DeleteBeautiful photos. Looks like a perfect day
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day out.
ReplyDeleteLoved your photographs.
Loved your words.
All the best Jan
Lovely fresh images! I'm feeling 'spring-y' now even though it is supposed to be 'autumn-ing' where I live.
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic to find such lovely sights while wandering around! You found some great things to share. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all your posts so much! Lovely sites, and eats and a beautiful poem. Hope you had a lovely weekend - but I think you did by the photos!
ReplyDeleteYour photos do a wonderful job of evoking the best of spring in your area. And the food looks amazing! Things are a little greyer here, but the sun shines more and more, and we are filled with hope.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

ReplyDeleteYou had more than a nice day, I'd say!
ReplyDeleteAnd what in the world is that beautiful dish with the asparagus on top? Is it an aspic?
Thank you, dear Dewena. The dish is a lentil salad, I never knew lentils could be made into such an extravagant creation.
