if only we could capture the scent of daphne on camera

the dancing light

I took this picture when we were in Koh Samui the year before last. I still look at it alot, because of the dancing light, and the pattern created by the relationship between the girl and her dog. The dog was leaping up into the air for the ball. The light was dusk, and the air was thick with the scent of spices and frangipani, and that moist warmth which makes every cell in your body surrender.

rose light

I want the scent of this pink pink rose to be captured. As I walked past, its scented tendrils, seductively allowed me to zoom in close. I have taken the license to digitally augment it..Autumn in Melbourne is so wonderful, the roses are like great fecund juicy cabbage heads, sweetly and deeply scented...mmmmmmmm....
