I smell of thee

Summer is officially here. The sun is shining and the day is preciously long. The mother nature is very eager and not shy to show what she's got. Red, blue, green, yellow and white and all shades in between and in all possible mixing. It's such a joy to walk among nature's creation. I like thee.

The air smells perfumed where I work these days. I've been wondering where the scent comes from. I think I found the answer today, lime tree flowers. Not to be confused with the citrus fruit one, lime trees (or linden) are native to UK. It produces tiny yellow flower clusters in summer with a scent so irresistible that it kept me wondering for weeks. It's heady but not aggressive. It's also soothing, reminding me of a sunny afternoon when most mammals could do with a cool shade and a nap while only butterflies or bees busy themselves around any flowers they could find.

Now I know you, I adore thee.
