Blue and purple wild anemones dance in the cool breeze, hillsides are golden-green  with spring grasses, the valleys are carpeted with wildflowers and melting snow from the Hermon mountains flows down to join the Jordan river. As the sun warms the earth, new life springs forth.

Three small landscapes depict the Galilee in three seasons, from right to left :
Winter, when the Jordan river is swollen with melted snow flowing down from the Hermon mountains, and the fields and hills are covered with green, new growth.
Spring, when the valleys are carpeted with wildflowers, anemones, poppies and irises, swaying in the breeze.
Summer, when the bright sun turns the grasses and weeds to golden brown and casts deep shadows under the boughs of the trees.

Verses from the Song of Songs by King Solomon describe the beauty of spring spreading over the Land of Israel as a metaphor for the awakening of  love between the Jewish people and G-d :

 

“The voice of my beloved, behold, he comes –    Leaping upon the mountains,    Skipping upon the hills.    My beloved is like a deer    or a young hart.      Behold, he stands behind our wall,    looking in through the windows,    peering through the lattice     [My beloved spoke and said to me   Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away]     For lo, the winter is passed,   the rain is over and gone,   the flower-buds have appeared in the land   the time of the song bird is come   and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land     The fig tree has sprouted her young fruit   And the vines in blossom give their scent ”
