golden wattles in the air
you know those really powerful memories that are triggered by a simple scent in the air?
well, for me it's the golden wattle.
all it takes is the sight and the smell to transport me back to childhood, to simpler times.
it's always struck me as such as contrast to see bright yellow blooms in land that is otherwise so extreme.
it's sweet, smooth, pretty, and I feel so calm when the scent is around me.

i was walking on this track, observing nature and the birds around us.
the walking got tough,
but a golden wattle lay ahead, fully flowered.
i took a moment, breathed in the scent, and continued with a smile on face.
