Beautiful morning

The sweet smell of spring

I wish I could post the perfumed air that caressed my nostrils when I opened the door this morning so that you could smell it too. These guys on the right may have contributed to it, but the main source is probably all the dandelions that suddenly opened up this morning.

This is my favourite week of the year, when the trees leaf out and the world is transformed.

Where we live, on a tidal inlet on Mahone Bay, it all happens a little later than just up the road, half a mile inland.

The picture below expresses, to me anyway, some of the softness of this morning.
