How beautiful the Olive tree a gift from the Gods-Goddess' as the story goes --- Athena struck the bare soil with her spear and created an olive tree, informing the gods that the tree would provide food for all mankind and oil for their lamps, with which their could light the temples and give worship to the gods. The gods were so impressed with her creation they declared her the winner, so Zeus gave the city to Athena and named it after her. A beautiful gift indeed. Joanny

Wonderful! I have not seen an olive tree for a long time. The tiny olives look like grapes.
Since Greek olives are my most favorite, I love seeing them "in the making"!
