One sign that Spring has truly arrived is the tiny leaves and tiny figs that begin to appear on the sculptural bare branches of our native fig trees. The leaves are miniature versions of their larger selves, and just so very very sweet that I had to capture the magic on my camera. Enjoy the signs of Spring where ever you may be! And keep on reading to see the tree these leaves belong to!
Here is the very old (hundreds of years) fig tree that I photographed, and it happens to have been planted in the courtyard of an old stone home (or the home was built around it) now converted to art galleries and shops, and truly a must see if you are ever in Safed, Israel. It is called the Fig Tree Courtyard on Alkabetz Lane.
I am actually in the middle of an interesting Interior Design project just up these stairs and opposite a very gorgeous view, more on that after Passover when it will be hopefully nearing completion.
