Our Beautiful World

Hello ... Happy Sunday to you

It's my turn to come up with a prompt at

Our Beautiful World

This week and I have chosen Aromatic


This is one of my pretty geraniums ...  It has a beautiful aroma.
There are so many things that are Aromatic, some just can't be captured... like the heady scent after a rainfall ... or new cut grass... bread baking and coffee brewing
Some aromas can transport you back to another time and place ... or remind you of someone who is no longer around...
Some things only have to be touched to discover their Aromatic secret like the lavenders in my garden


They may appear delicate but their aroma is strong and lingering


The same goes for some of the herbs I have


Thyme


Oregano


...and Rosemary ... one of my favourite herbs

Do you have a favourite aroma? We'd love you to share your photos for the prompt at 

Our Beautiful World

Have a beautiful day

Lovely pictures and beautiful writing, as usual! As for aromas - I think there are many I like but my favorites must be lavender and the salty smell of crashing waves (I guess there's some algae int here, too).

So lovely Ros. I wish I had a green thumb because I'd love to have things like your lavender in a pretty garden. Beautiful photos. Hugs!

Looks like you have a wonderful garden, I love lavender, just think that it is impossible to grow here in the desert, I do have rosemary though, and they do very well here. Wonderful shots!

Beautiful photo's as always, Ros, I love the smell of herbs even if I don't use them! I sometimes forget when I am cooking to go out and pick. Happy Tuesday!

Hi Ros...your garden sounds/smells/looks fabulous - I can just imagine it and envy you. I do so remember geraniums and all the lovely colours and definitely their scent take me back to mums garden and when you crush/pick the herbs - oh that's just wonderful. Lovely photos, cheers Robyn
