Wednesday Image Search – Wir

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Last week I searched for ‘vir’ so this week I will continue on with ‘wir’. There have been some gaps in this sequence as not all combinations found images.

What images will I find?

Hostess Snack Cakes, peppermint hohos, Chocolate Cake, Snack CakesThe first image is a peppermint swirl in a pastry.

Barb Wire, Security Fence, Ramparts Walk, Jerusalem Next is some barbed wire on a fence along the Ramparts Walk in Jerusalem.

Old Wiring, Barns, Ceramic Insulators, ElectricianHere is some old wiring in an old barn in the Central Valley of California.

Colorful Cake, Patchwork Cake, Batter SwirlHere is a swirled cake batter. The cake was pretty cool once it was baked. See The Birthday Cake for the complete process and the end result.

Thermostat, Wiring, Home repair. Heating and CoolingFinally we have the wiring on my thermostat. I had to replace it some years back. You can see that the new one had a smaller footprint. The little blue screw holder at the upper left is still on my wall.

There were only a few ‘wir’ pictures to choose from and there were just wires and swirls.

Which is your favorite of these pictures?

What should I search for next? This was the last one in the ‘*ir’ series so I will need to come up with a new theme.

First Trip to Israel

Today I noticed it has been 11 years since my first trip to Israel, so I decided to share some pictures from that first trip.

Israel, tour, airport, ben Gurion, busThe leader of our tour was Ferrell Jenkins, the first of two trips that I was to make with him.

Night at Netanya, Israel, Sunset over Mediterranean SeaI still remember that sunset on the first night in Israel exactly 11 years ago. See: Night at Netanya

Sunrise on the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias, Galilee, SunriseI also remember a beautiful sunrise of the Sea of Galilee. See: Galilee Sea

Qumran, Dead Sea Scrolls, Caves at Qumran, EssenesThere are so many memories from the trip as it was the first time I saw many of the places I have been back to. Here is Qumran which we saw when we were Well Below Sea Level at the Dead Sea.

Lachish - Assyrians - Siege Ramp - Dig - ShephelahAlso seeing Lachish for the first time is a good memory. A place that I have spent a lot of time at since. I have spent four weeks digging there over the years.

Israel, sunset, Mediterranean sea, red sky, , Finally just before we headed to the airport for the trip home I was able to enjoy another beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.

You can see links to some of the posts I have written about Israel by clicking on Israel.

I hope you enjoyed my memories tonight.
