    Nice to see the green in these photos. All of my green is now brown due to the change of the seasons.

    We are green all the time because we get so much rain.
    I guess you are really 'going green'. LOL MB

    I love the attitude of plants that are determined to grow even in tight places.
    This post reminds me of works written about the vegetation of the Western Wall.

    All those bushes, trees or even leaves mean life, and life on those bare stone walls, is hope! Have a nice Sunday!

    It's a wonder, both because of being and green and mainly for its ability to hold to life on...
    ...a wall!
    God bless you!

    I believe both are fig trees (top and second shots). It's amazing how they always manage to thrive on walls. The cascade of green is awesome!

    @ JM - I think you are right: once and then I have spotted small fruits on them.

    I really like it when mother nature begins growing in, on and over man's constructions. Beautiful!
