The Smell of Summer

Self-portrait graphic

YES! I made it in time for the challenge!

So I haven’t been active very much here generally because of school but still come online to see what’s happening. When this challenge was launched I was busy with a deadline (which just ended this morning). I did this just today after getting some catch-up sleep from pulling an all nighter. The past few days I’ve been constantly staying up late until early in the morning; going home after the sun has risen. As unpleasant as it is to have a strange sleeping routine; I do get to see some beautiful morning skies :P

So after a full day of working in a dry building with air ducts rattling over my head, the moment I step out after sunrise is a rather sensual moment; which inspired me to do this.

The background is a photo I took in Paesteum, Italy during the term I was studying in Rome. I haven’t uploaded that here yet because I still have a lot of pics from Europe which I have to sort and decide which will go up. The scene in the bottle I took on the same day I took this

    I love the smelll of the outdoors in early morning. Especially, in wooded areas. Don’t wear yourself out. It is always good to hear from you. Excellent picture, Mui-Ling. xo

    Back in Japan the morning walk by the river, where hydrangea flowers were growing above, and ducklings swimming below was always lovely. I still miss those days.
