Today’s Flowers: Hellebore
My neighbor has this beautiful nodding flower in his front yard called a hellebore. I find it delicate and gentle.
Today is Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer. My kids get to go on a field trip tomorrow in honor of this day when Rabbi Akiva’s students stopped dying (2000 years ago?), and some people may get haircuts. The Omer is counted every day from Passover to Shavuot; Shavuot falls on May 19 and May 20 this year. For a fun post on Lag BaOmer, visit Mrs. S.

Thanks for the link!
Growing up in the US, Lag BaOmer meant field trips and/or picnics. Here in Israel, Lag BaOmer is all about the ubiquitous bonfires.

This is such a beautiful photo...and you have captured its delicate head, nodding gently downward. The tones are soft and lovely.
Laura Hegfield says
such a graceful little flower..I hope it wasn't too rainy for your lag ba'omer bon fire.
Leora says
Oh, no bonfires here. Strict fire regulations. Need to travel to Israel for that, the country of bonfires that miraculously does not burn down on Lag BaOmer.
Louis la Vache says
This delicate-looking hellebore would make a fine subject for a watercolor.
