I love the smell of the sea!
Walking through the woodland part of Chirk Castle we stumbled across a stone hut which probably belongs to the gardener. We peaked through the window and the smell of burnt wood was so powerful. They had been making charcoal there and those sacks are full of it!
Chirk Castle gardens! I love this part of the garden because its like a cottage garden and the smell of flowers is lovely.
The smell of our pony Cola, there is nothing in the world like it. Whenever I smell him I am transported back to childhood and happy care free days.
Lovely shootout, Sara.
ReplyDeleteI miss the smell of the sea. Great shot of it coming to get you there. And I bet Cola smells great. I wonder if she smells at all like a cat - I love to smell my cats!
I love the smell of the sea too. Don't quiet like the smell of the horse, well the ones I see are at the zoo, and not at farm, so the smell is always not a welcoming smell to me. lol
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of horses because it reminds me of being a girl again when I worked with them. I love their smell and all the associations with them.
ReplyDeleteI could smell all your shots! The castle garden was especially pleasing, although I too love the smell of horses - and cows. Don't think I've ever noticed the smell of a thistle!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Sara.
Like Pauline, I could smell all your photos. Isn't it funny how easily we can recall a small when given a prompt.
ReplyDeleteSara, I felt the same way. These photos pull us in to your setting...almost childlike, I could appreciate and imagine. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteSara I think your photography is stunning...I love coming and seeing what you offer up!!
ReplyDeleteI felt like I took a walk with you..what a beautiful place! The sea..oh how I love that smell..I adore the sea! And well the smell of a horse is one of my very favorites...I so miss owning one. Wonderfully delicious shootout hon!! Hugs, Sarah
fantastic shoot out Sara! I agree with everyone that has posted comments so far. the smell of your photos comes through clearly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a rich, beautiful walk through your part of the world and I just love it. I, too, love the warm smell of a horse along with the hay or grass that is usually nearby: nothing like it. And the ocean!
ReplyDeleteSara, what a lovely post. I wish I could visit the gardens at the castle... I bet they smell wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the ocean and of the horse are great! I grew up working on a horse farm and I can still remember the wonderful smells from the horses, the hay, the tack and yep cleaning those stalls!
You been to the Sissinghurst Castle? I am watching on TV and their wonderful garden.
ReplyDeleteYes, the sea has this fresh salty smell. We love it and go often.
Oh Sara, this is just how I picture Wales. I would love to see your country some day but until then I have your photos to look at.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely. Each thing has it's fragrance.
Beautiful shoot -- sorry it took me so long to find time to look at shoots. I love the variety you found.
ReplyDeleteI too, love the smell of burning wood. Your shoot out is great. The shot of the sea is powerful. It looks like it was a turbulent day.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post, I have to agree I love those smells
