In reply to Ian and Wendy. It's the caves, you see! The Jeita caves got me into that zone, and now I'm in it....

“There were flowers billions of years before there were humans, and there will be flowers for billions of years after we’re gone. For them, 7000 years is just the blink of an eye…” LOVE! So true!

Thanks, Martin. It’s incredibly beautiful. And I’m really hoping the trouble in Tripoli doesn’t spread. Beirut is stunning as well — yes, even now.

I would love to go to Lebanon one day, so much history, culture. some say it was Paris of the middle east. I can’t imagine the destruction the civil and other regional wars did to it. I’m glad it is being revived. I hear it is coming back with a vengeance! Great pictures guys!

In reply to jade. Thank you, Jade! I loved the flowers there, really can't wait to get a proper post together (although it might have to sit there with my cute kittens post that I'm TOTALLY going to do for a while, yet)...

In reply to Talon. Talon, you would love! Much of it is like Greece must have been 40 years ago, before mass tourism hit, but in its very own way, if that makes sense at all...

In reply to Leigh. He takes lovely photos, Leigh, but he's been off them for a while. Lord knows why. (Well, actually, I do: he thinks my camera is better than his, which it is, and so would like to have one of his own, thank you very much... )

Beautiful shots. Love when flowers hug and follow the lines of ancient and new buildings.

So cool! I’ve always been interested in going to Lebanon. Your posts are definitely adding to that desire!
