Tasting: fresh, local fruit - apricots, peaches & plums, creamy ice-cream & cool watermelon

Hearing: the rumble of grain trucks & the crunch of dry grass

Touching: the sharp bite of the sun on my skin

Smelling: dry, dusty earth, ripe fruit & the promise of rain

five senses | morning walk

           Seeing: the hazy, pale gold early morning light, streaming through the trees

           Hearing: chattering, chirping birds, greeting the morning

          Seeing: richly, vibrantly purple jacaranda trees in full bloom

          Tasting: pizza - we ended up eating a fair bit of pizza during our trip

          Hearing: the swish of the river & the rush of the traffic

          Touching: raindrops on my skin, the breeze in my hair & the sun on my face

          Smelling: fragrant blooms, coffee shops & the city when it rains

five senses | home

          Seeing: the sun kissed fields, wide blue (& grey) skies & open spaces

          Tasting: honey cookies & hot tea

          Hearing: sparrows chattering, the wind blowing & the patter of rain-drops

          Touching: lying in my own bed, under a familiar quilt

Our time away was wonderful, but it is also very, very nice to be home...
