A shomer, or guardian, watches over some herbs in a garden at Kibbutz Beit Alpha in northern Israel. (The little sign reads, “shomer.”)
Midreshet Ben-Gurion is located in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, and is probably most notably home to the graves of the first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion (right) and his wife, Paula (left).
This past week, many of the cactus plants near my house began blooming.

Until a few days ago, I was only familiar with one version of David Bowie’s “Cat People (Putting Out Fire).” It’s probably the only version most people are familiar with; it was also used in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. There is a faster version featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan (the blues guitarist) that is on Bowie’s Let’s Dance album, and it’s really awesome. I especially like from ~3:15 on.
