the flower is the very first gardenia of the spring. the scent overwhelms me with its beauty and takes me right back to my childhood and my grandmother's front yard.
it's tuesday and the week is going slowly. the hours seem to be crawling by for no particular reason - like it's holding it's breath waiting so long for the exhale. i'm not sure why that is - but it is a feeling that i have.
I smell the gardenia, it takes me to my childhood home in the back yard...... Ahhhh....
ReplyDeleteExhale.................
Our feelings are so strange sometimes.
Scents have that ability to take us places. And that sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteHope things improve with the camera. It does make a nice prop, though . . .
I agree with country girl; if all else fails, the camera makes for a lovely prop! That gardenia is absolutely beautiful . . .
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gardenia... As for the camera, perhaps it will be a nice prop in pictures...:)
ReplyDeletegardenia..ah yes the scent is a memory maker for sure Char, relish the dreamy feel of this.
ReplyDeletetoo bad about the camera but it will be great for props...
It would be a pity you cannot really enjoy the camera..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower. My rose bush is growing too! I'm waiting to see some rose soon :D
Love!

I think today should be Friday. I agree that the week is going so slowly. I think it's because we're all ready for summer. Long Live Summer!
ReplyDeleteThere is just nothing like real film.
ReplyDeleteah the smell of gardenia... so dreamy. my gardenia is about to open too. my week is long. and i haven't had time to post because of long work hours - again!
ReplyDeletethe camera does make a nice prop and i love the look of old cameras sitting on a shelf.
why can i never get my photos to look so artistic?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Gardenias!!! This week is flying but I think it's because my honey is coming the end of this week!! YIPPEEEE!!!! The camera looks ancient, do you really still use it???? WOW! Hugs from the gang in Norway :-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful...til friday, friend, hold on.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot, and yes some scents take you right back. as for the camera if it does not work yes a great prop, rake care.
ReplyDeleteI have an old camera I want to try out but still have yet to do it. I think I'm afraid of it a little...
ReplyDeleteslow week here, too...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the smell of gardenias!!
and that you're even TRYING to use a film camera in this digital age is delightful to me!:)
oohhh...my grandmother had a gardenia, and whenever she "went to town," she would pluck one and put it on the dashboard of her car. That car smelled glorious.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely cannot smell a gardenia without thinking of her.
...I'm of the age where I am happy if time seems to drag rather than rush by...especially if I am inhaling something as nice as gardenias...beautiful photo Char...I must get out my old Pentax and see if it still works...
ReplyDeletethe gardenia is lovely! my grandma had them to, and i recently picked one up as the scent reminded me of her!
ReplyDeletehope the rest of this week passes quickly! hang in there!
it is a pretty camera. and we all love pretty in our homes. xo : )
ReplyDeleteyou are a couple of weeks ahead of us...i see the buds but they probably won't be releasing that delicious aroma until the beginning of June. good luck with the camera!
ReplyDeleteexhale...breath...and enjoy the film,Char~
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like the heady scent of a gardenia. And an old camera? Perfect pairing!
