From Around the World

Before and during a sandstorm (hamsin) in Israel. Photos courtesy of my friend, Eileen.

Back on Dec. 18th (A Very Special Day), I posted a picture of an old friend, Eileen, who has lived in Haifa, Israel for many years. She sent me these pictures today and here’s what she had to say about them:

“. . . . before and during photos of "hamsin", sand storms that come out of the Arabian deserts. They're awful, very hard on one's breathing. They last two or three days each, and come far too often.”

I can’t thank her enough for sending these so I can share them with you.
