The weather has been hot. Today is no exception. Hot, wet and humid with a wind coming from the south. The breeze brings the heady scent of hawthorn bloom through my open window. The scent of these mingling with the earthy aroma of petrichor. That deep patchouli like smell of the nearby forest in the rain. A base note to it all. It's a smell unlike any other. Its a smell of home. The smell of the start of summer. It got me thinking. How i might capture this very moment? This chance in time. Soon I had on my trusty boots and out looking for what else the hedgerows might be hiding. I didn't need to go far.
