Smell of Spring

Daffodil

I had to meet a friend who runs a small company Seren Venture this afternoon over at the Slate museum, so I could collect some equipment to run a scrambling course for him tomorrow. Looking outside the weather was stunning so I decided to down tools on the college work and go for an afternoon stroll with my camera. I haven’t been on a snapping stroll for a while.

What first hit me was the smell of spring in the air, its something to do with the air temperature reaching that critical level that you can smell the world regenerating. I am not sure what the smell is, but as the plants spring into life it seems to make the air sweeter than the previous months.

Passing the gorse the subtle smell of coconut emanates from the bright yellow flowers, whilst the rotting trees continue on their slow decay, and fresh buds are ready to burst into life as the daffodils start to show their yellow saucers and tea cups. It was a beautiful day so I thought I would share it with you.
