That is so true,especially if you can hear the birds singing and smell the flowers bloomin’.
I do enjoy hearing the birds singing and feeling the peace of nature but I don’t know what it is like to smell the blooms…
Jane had it right. I can hardly wait for nature to wake up. Great photo, Cherie.
Nature is emerging so beautifully here at the moment

i could sit there for hours and just smell the flowers….peter:)
I could sit there for hours too. I can’t enjoy the smells of the flowers but I can enjoy listening the birds and watching the breeze in the trees and the clouds in the sky and feeling nature

Yes I agree that shaft of sunlight makes all the difference. The bench is just a place for me to sit and chill out and contemplate the wonders around me

I didn’t notice the missing “e”. I had to read your comment three times to realize what you meant.
I is funny how the mind sees what it knows should be there even when it isn’t!
Here is the “t” that fell from your one! It did.
And where would you place that “t”?
Oh hang on… where you meaning a cup of tea? It would be nice to sit and chat awhile over one of those
I can spend the whole afternoon there easily.
So could I
