It's Tu B'Shevat - the Jewish New Year for the Trees.
This is the time the new fruit-bearing cycle begins in Israel. It's customary to plant new trees in Israel and eat special fruits.
We celebrated appropriately by visiting the Daegu Arboretum. A one time sanitary landfill turned ecological park. It was really beautiful even without much blooming this time of year and comforting to be with nature, listening to birds and strolling along the nicely landscaped walking paths. A true treat since we so dearly miss our yearly membership to the Richmond Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. We really can't wait to return in the spring to see the foliage and blossoms.
