So late. I was so absent. So sorry. Part 2

Sooooo here's part 2 in the series of "Everything I didn't have time to upload in 365 SNAPS" :)
I hope you've recovered from part one already. Hold on! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

I caught a raven flying :) FINALLY!
LOL, I have such an obsession with flying things. Next Challenge: snap a flying plane.

Have a lovely day!

Hey darlings,

If everything else fails, try a shot of a yellow hibiscus. And schedule a nap.
Love,

TADA!
Ladies and Gents, I caught a flying plane.
So fascinated by flight!
This week is really working for me :)
Have a great weekend!

Hey loves!
I adore jewelry. I just adore it. My jewelry drawer is so stuffed, and I still must have MORE.

The bracelet says "Be true to yourself and all things will come to you".
I think I'll make that my new motto.
XOXO
Nova.

Hey Y'all!
My parents went out to pick up a distant cousin coming from California… I woke up as the door slammed (in the beautiful hours of "A tad before 06:00 AM") and took this beautifully urban shot.

Have an amazing day :)

So I went on a day trip up north to the Galilee with my parents, sisters and Cousin from Cali, and everything was so beautiful, so of course I had to take a picture of this tree between the telephone lines. Always into the human foot prints. ButButBut just look at the sky! And the mountain! It still counts as a #Nature pic!

Love,
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday, April 17, 2014

So I went on a little walk and this building caught my attention… It was actually near my school… Don't judge me, school is close that sometimes when you go somewhere random you end up near school…

Have a great day!

Hey!
My Gran was here today, and she brought food! Carrot-sweet potato-squash soup and all kinds of other great stuff that only grandmas cook :) So, #SHOUTOUT to all grandmas out there :) And a picture of my dinner, 'cause I'm a spoiled granddaughter.

XOXO
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, April 22, 2014


Wow, I'm really big on the #FoodyPic thing lately (and the hashtag thing too). Another spoiled picture of grandmother-food – stuffed peppers! Really, none but grandmothers actually have time to make a treat like this :)

Hi internet beasts!
LOL.
I went to the library today to get some final research on a paper I should've already finished. I came out of the library just on time for sunset, but not nearly done yet – is closing at 18:45 a blessing or a curse?!
Urban sunset pics are the best. I'm in love with the way the sun bathes the concrete and the buildings in gold.
XOXO
Nova.

These strange fruit growing on the trees of my street today reminded me of Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday – a very different sort of strange fruit, and a lot more bitter…
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, April 26, 2014

Saw these in a neighboring building's garden.
They used to be my favorite flower, back in 4th grade. I have no idea why.
Have a great weekend and a great week!

Hi :)
It's my best friend's B-Day, so I blew a dandelion wishing her all the best this world can offer, and then called to tell her "Happy birthday, I love you".

Do you wish upon dandelions too? Comment and tell me!
XOXO

Hi Loves!
Peering into the yard from a close proximity to the window bars makes it look like a window into wonderland, doesn't it? A better ending for a bit of a melancholic, slow day (it was Memorial Day's eve).
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday, May 5, 2014

Israel is a funny place. Memorial day of the fallen soldiers starts on Memorial day's eve, and Independence day starts on the night of Memorial day. You go from sad to happy in a flash. But hey, you get fireworks! No way you can complain about that, right?

XOXO
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, May 6, 2014

I met a funny guy who does card tricks at the Independence Day BBQ. I gave him my email. I hope he writes, but I doubt it. Oh well, I have 2 cards, who needs a guy?!

Hi lovelies!
I went to TLV's music library today with my friend M. I love that place - it has so many kinds of music and you can just sit there for hours and listen. Not to mention the decor is oh-so-classy :)


Have a beautiful night!
Nova.

Hi darlings!
On the way home from school today I passed next to the city hall, and saw this – how cool are these escalators?!

I love the blur too.
[But UGH, there were two security guys – one was cute, and the other was grumpy, and the grumpy one wouldn't let the cute one let me come in in order to get a better angle!].
XOXO
Nova.

Hi!
I went to the library today and I saw this tree.
I love these trees that have these funny fruits... IDK why.
Anyway. TADA!
XOXO
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday, May 15, 2014

OK, I lied yesterday. THIS is why I love those trees.


Those weird fruits explode into mooshy stuff. It feels like cotton balls, only softer, and it's actually really great for lining jewelry boxes, as long as you pluck out the black seeds that hide in there.
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday, May 16, 2014

And in continuation to yesterday and the day before, here's how the mooshy stuff looks on the tree. YAY!
So pretty!
Nova.


PS – why isn't there a word in English for the day before yesterday, nor for the day after tomorrow?! Hebrew has both. We need those in English too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, May 17, 2014
Hey!

IDK if you can see it, but there's a strawberry in there! It's a strawberry plant! Yaaaaay too awesome.

Hellllooooo Spiders of the magnificent web!
So I'm having a stream-of-consciousness kind of day.
And this is how it went:
Oh the sky is so pretty today q Look at the sky q I should take a pic of this q But I have too many sky pics q OHMYGOSH look at the lights here at the square! q I remember how when I was little my parents would take me here to see stuff, like shows or fireworks or stuff, and they'd turn on these lights, and I always thought they were so PRETTYYYYYY q OK. Nostalgia snap of the day.
So yeah, that's it.
XOXO,
Nova.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hip-Hip-Hurrah! You've survived through another post, which was undoubtedly wonderful, yet exhausting. I think the next post must be an IceCream post :) Yay!
I love you all! Pleeeeease review and comment!

So late. I was so absent. So sorry. Part 1

Hi Everyone!
Ohmygosh, I'm so so sorry I've been absent! It was my last-ever semester at school - I've graduated! - And I had finals and parties and farewells to bid.... Anyway, now I'm back and you're in for a whole lotta love (or, as it is shown on the web, posts).
XOXO

A gorgeous Saturday faded into a rather grey Sunday. Oh well, at least this tree is utterly beautiful, and was waiting just for me in all it's red, flowery glory. Spring is about to come, and I await.

Have a great one!

Yes, ladies and gents, this mess is EVERYTHING I wore during this week, the week before and of the Jewish holiday of Purim – in which, how awesome, we dress up :D
#OHMYGOSH

-         A Viking's costume
-         A Tiger's costume
-         A Devil's costume
-         A Sheriff's costume
-         An Angel's costume
-         A cheerleader's costume :)
As a theater girl and a full time crazy dramatic person, Purim is obviously one of my favorite holidays :) I'd tell you more, but it's about 02:00 AM and I'm exhausted.
Good night and Happy Purim to all celebrating!

Reading for school: Yay or Nay? Comment and tell me :)
I think reading is always good, but that's 'cause I'm an insane book worm. But I do agree that  reading for school can be annoying – Just 'cause you know you'll have to discuss it forever and ever and it'll lose all good in it, you get all fed up with it.
ANYWAY. Reading Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw'.
It's actually a really good book. Go read it!
XOXO

Good night!

HAIFA. School has taken us to Haifa for this weekend, and this city is beautiful. Also, lot's of people say that it's a bit like San Francisco, which is sort of true, mostly because the streets are so steep.

- ♥ -
Nova.
P.S - Yes, Haifa has its own Eifel tower.

Hey Mr. Prophet! 

Saturday, March 22, 2014

Not Haifa – or actually, in the Haifa area. We visited a couple Druze villages today and did some interesting things, and ate lots of yummy food. I love my school so much for taking us on this fabulous trip :) This is at the Muhrika monastery. It's got this really fabulous view and this special statue of prophet Elijah, and it's a really interesting place :)

OK, so I'm supposed to be reading The March of Folly, but sometimes you just need something light and fun and silly, just to loosen up your mind.

Hi everyone!
Nothing says spring like fresh green spinach. Also, it says dinner. And since I'm hungry, spring and dinner are currently my two favorite things.

Hi Everyone!
I donated blood today. I was just a bit scared of it in the beginning, but it really wasn't painful. And I really think that if one can do something that small and be of such help to other people, that's amazing and you should totally do it.
Also, yes. BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Hahaha :)
DONATE!

Have a great one!

Hello! Good Morning!
I'm opening a new page today. Don’t know what'll happen in this next chapter of my life. But on this new page, I'd like to see things in a happier, more interested and more optimistic way, even as finals slowly approach.
Plus, new pages are always pretty, even when it's just some regular leafy paper.
Love

Spring time – when the sky is so blue it nearly hurts to look at it, but you look anyway because it makes you so happy :)
This picture of the wires and the sky looks rather artistic, so I'll leave it at this.

Experimenting with photographing things through other things. The street somehow looks even more alive that way.
