Playing around editing,
a bunch of tall thin pine trees
remembering the days when real ones blessed our house
every Christmas.
There are so many beautiful trees and we have opted for
artificial, but one can never forget the smell of pine trees
when the needles are soft to touch.
It reminds me of a vase of flowers,
you may not notice the scent
until you leave a room and walk back in,
and they are exhilarating.
I look at the picture above and I just feel magic,
and possibilities. It makes me want to go hiking
and see over the first hill.
While editing this pic I was reminded of the day
we ventured down the Old Banff Road in a snowstorm,
It was so beautiful,
There were no other cars on the road.
The header picture up top was taken that day.
I remember we rolled down our windows
and the cool fresh air was so exhilerating.
We joked about being all alone in the wilderness.
It was a perfect morning.
I have had many perfect moments
and a lot have been due to these great
wonderful gifts we find in the nature that surrounds
us every day.
It is supposed to get to plus four tomorrow.
It will be a great day for a walk.
I wish you all a fun day,
Be your own best friend,
and treat you right.
hugs,
The smell of a fresh pine tree is still present in my mind and always reminds me of my childhood. Funny how some scents always trigger strong memories :-)
ReplyDeleteI too love the smell of fresh pine but I adore artificial trees...soooo...I use room scenters. LOL!! I keep my one tree up all year around in my living room and decorate it for all the different holidays. Of course, Christmas is the big one!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful day
