You have to love that "g"! Bakery's gone, neon’s shot, but I'm happy this old ghost is still up on that roof. If you close your eyes and summon up some imagination, there's a ghost of a chance you can still get a whiff of baking bread. It's like the beckoning finger of the fragrant aroma rising from a pie cooling in the window in the old cartoons - it draws you right into the past of your childhood! You know what I mean, don't you?
Alpine woodruff blooms - Asperula alpina M. Bieb. Marenovy family. In Latin "Asperula", translated as "fragrant."
Alpine meadows bloom in early summer! My favorite time in the mountains. A sea of colorful flowers on steep slopes. The air is filled with aromas of spring. Cool freshness from the snowy peaks.
Abkhazia Western Caucasus.
The heat of autumn
is different from the heat of summer.
One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider.
One is a dock you walk out on,
the other the spine of a thin swimming horse
and the river each day a full measure colder.
A man with cancer leaves his wife for his lover.
Before he goes she straightens his belts in the closet,
rearranges the socks and sweaters inside the dresser
by color. That’s autumn heat:
her hand placing silver buckles with silver,
gold buckles with gold, setting each
on the hook it belongs on in a closet soon to be empty,
and calling it pleasure.

Brugmansia (Angels Trumpet) line the pathway at Longwood Gardens. Unfortunately, you won't smell its heavenly fragrance until night.

I have always adored tulips. This is really an experience of a lifetime to be immersed in such intense sea of tulips! I love this color in particular!
flowered today another heavily fragrant bloom outside my kitchen. sadly i've lost the id tag
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

A relatively common, but very lovely summer orchid.
Near Cisloner Alm, at about 1.250m.
Trodena, Italy
Yes, it has a fantastic scent! It's still in its container from the nursery, but soon I'll plant it with the other rose bushes in their own raised bed at the farm. The bed has fencing around it, but yesterday I saw a baby bunny hop through it. That's why keep finding evidence of nibbling.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
A lovely rose with petals soft
A scent so sweet and light
So beautiful a flower
With colors shining bright.
But something not so savory
About the fragrant rose -
The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,
That sharpen as it grows.
Yet still lovely is the flower
Despite the thorns that prick
Just as life and love are sweet
They too have thorns that stick.
But do not fear to live or love,
Life's not exempt from pain -
So pick a rose, you may get hurt,
But you will also gain!
A Voice Within
Food for the soul and the senses.
"If, of thy mortal goods, thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves
alone to thee are left,
Sell one & from the dole,
Buy Hyacinths to feed the soul"
Muslihuddin Sadi,
13th Century Persian Poet
