Geraniums

 I love the smell of geranium leaves, crushing them in between your fingers and releasing that magical smell, pure heaven. 

smell the flowers

"You are only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry and be sure to smell the flowers along the way" - Walter Hagen 

Good advice for people and dogs.

 

Noticing

On my walks with Max around the neighbourhood I am constantly on the lookout for beauty in the ordinary and here a splash of orange and yellow can make all the difference. 

 

noticing

One thing I love about photography is that it helps me to focus on the present, to notice things and to stop.  On my walk the other day I  noticed this bedraggled pelican cleaning himself and drying out. Spending time in nature can be so grounding.
