Taking Time to Smell the Flowers

I'm starting to feel the beginnings of spring, it's starting to warm up and the flowers are starting to bloom. We spent Saturday at the Botanical Gardens and I had a lovely time exploring the garden beds with my camera. Everything was starting to bloom or at least to form buds, and I loved the colours, textures and perfumes everywhere.

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
