  • Hi Yair. Your blossom pics are beautiful and a sure sign that Spring is definitely in the air. After a dull, cold and colourless winter, it is a joy to see blue skies and colour once more. Take care and enjoy the coming week. Best wishes, Jayne x

  • Beautiful views - we like particularly the alternative succession plain-macro - and are amused about the "forgotten fruits", proof of real almond trees...:-). What a pleasure it must be to walk in a plantation full of flowers, which finally are not all strictly the same! - Have a good new week! Yours: Kaethi and Henri

  • Yair, This was such a lovely album to wake up to this morning. I enjoyed each photo. You were a busy bee taking all these gorgeous photos. Appreciated the descripitons too. I had seen Galit's album before, but enjoyed this one too as we don't have almond trees here. Thanks so much for creating this for us to enjoy. Carol

  • A beautiful spring album, this one, Yair, as usual. I liked it very much and I've noticed that the flowers there are more much blossoming than ours, here in Italy. But anyway, spring is coming back! Finally! Thanks for share this beauties and for visit and comments on my "mimosa's branch" album. You're very nice. Friendly. Claudia

  • Yair, Very pretty flowers. Great effect with the new WS slideshow......which is still working (holding my breath). As you mentioned.........it was just a matter of time until something else would go wrong with Webshots. I invested several hours trying to upload my new British Columbia album using IE7. I could not create a new album. It put the photos in an existing album and I received an IE 7 message: "Internet Explorer has blocked this site (WEBSHOTS) from using an ActiveX control in an unsafe manner". I was able to upload OK for my previous album on 1/29. Something that Webshots changed, most likely to get the slide show working, now has caused this problem. So, I can NOT upload photos to Webshots! Considering all of the time I have invested, I am very disappointed with Webshots. I shared that feeling with Webshots, including the details of the problem, etc. I made it clear to them that I have had enough, that I would proceed to upload my latest album to other sites. I will upload my latest album to Album Terrace, most likely followed by Fotki. Knowing you are heavily into both, what is your advice as to which site I should focus the largest percentage of time on?

  • Hello Yair, this is such a pretty album. The flower of the almond tree is a very beautiful and delicate flower. You have made a very varied album by picturing all sides of the almond tree. The album has a real Spring atmosphere. I especially liked nrs. 9, 16 and 21. Thanks for your nice words about my Butterfly and Wallpaper album. I am always so glad to hear from you. And although I do not answer you back right away (which is often the case lately), I want you to know that I do appreciate your opinion very much. Have a very nice weekend, your Dutch friend, Els

  • Hi Yair, Thanks for not forgetting me, Mom thinks she got all those views on her own but I had to work hard to help her. It is snowing so hard here, I am getting disgusted with all this winter weather that just goes on and on so think I might pop on over to Wales for the weekend and see what my mate Pete is up to, we always have the best fun! Have a great weekend my good friend and thanks for all your support! Hugs Naughty

  • HELLO YAIR: You are so right. The blossoms ARE beautiful and you have many splendid images in this album. Our Spring growth has just started here in the Great Lakes region of Canada, and I can't wait to begin photographing blossoms & flowers. As I close, thank you for your kind comments on my 'Creations' album. That's not one my more popular albums and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Best Wishes To You, Ron

  • When I was growing up we had a almond tree in our yard. I have forgotten what beautiful blossoms they have. Thank you for bringing back those memories for me. I think I downloaded every picture so no I will not forget what they looked like. Thank you for sharing and a BIG THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!! Kathy
