Through The Woods & Into The Meadow In Northern Israel

Walk in the Israeli forest spring

Two weeks ago, on a Friday afternoon that wasn’t packed with things to do, as it usually is, I took a little hike with my three youngest on a nearby trail that meanders down the hill, with gorgeous views and so many things to enjoy, especially since the weather was absolutely perfect!

Walk in the forest Israel tall pines

Ahhhhh, a taste of forest, with meadows beyond. Meadows filled with what? Yes, brilliant red poppies!

Walk in the Israeli meadow, three horses distance

And not just poppies, horses too, squeel! Imagine fields filled with poppies and a trio of horses running on what appears to be a soft green carpet……divine! Not to mention that one of the horses is a foal, double squeel!

Walk in the forest, spring flowers

Many species of wild flowers dot the landscape this time of year, and I love pointing them out to my kids!

And look at that view of Mt. Meron, stunning!

We pass a grove of olive trees on the way…….

And before we head home, we get just as close as we possibly can to those enchanting white horses, and make silent promises to come back another day for a longer visit. Who can resist a spring time walk in the meadows in Northern Israel, not me! Well, not me unless of course Passover cleaning is occupying all my spare time, which happens to be the case at the moment!

    We were in Israel over winter break and toured quite a bit of the country. The northern part was definitely one of our favorite areas (along with the coast by Caesarea) and your beautiful pictures remind me how much we loved it! You are lucky to live in such a beautiful country!
