If At First You Don't Succeed...

I'm trying again.  Call this Part One, because after over an hour, only two pictures succeeded in uploading onto the blog.

I wasn't raised on Israeli flora and fauna.  I barely know the names of the plants I bought.  My knowledge of fauna is pretty general, like dogs, cats and birds.

So, here are two out of the five pictures I tried to post.  No, I don't know their names!



If you do, please educate us in the comments.  Thanks

The bird is most likely the Eurasian Jay http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=Eurasian+Jay&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0&social=false

gilon, well, it's not quite the grass you'll find on a golf course or in England... this ipicture has crabgrass, weeds and wildflowers. There goes my knowledge of the flora.

BTW, the flowers by the second from the bottom step are cyclamen (http://www.sobkowich.com/products/Cyclamen/index.html)

The big pink-purple flowers in the foreground are thistle (http://www.christopherhobbs.com/website/herbal/database/herbs/milk_thistle_lib.html)

I should really call this:
Whatever your question, just call Pesky.

You're amazing!

Pesky Settler said...

Nah, I just got really lucky with the Google-fu... although I did already know the plants.

Pesky, you're just modest and probably have a more sprightly computer than I do.
