And I can smell summer coming on

via my blackberry
 
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
 
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
 
I've posted this quote before, but I couldn't resist once more.  This week has brought back the sparkle and the sun to Sydney - but what I have loved the most is that ever so slight sweet fragrance with balmy undertones in the air - the vaguely, heady reminder just under the breeze in the evening that spring is near.  It has stopped me mid conversation, walking home many a night this week to just soak it up - rarely does something make me so very happy.
