on not being able to photograph smell


For such a resolutely visual person as I am, it's hard to be confronted with a demand on another sense.  In the middle (and, yes, either end) of a busy day it was hard trying to find Something to photograph today - or, rather, to remember to do so.  When I came home, though, I was so overwhelmed by the strong scent of a pot of jasmine in our front yard that, just for once, it superimposed itself over everything else.  So (and, of course, without flash), here's a tribute to the strong smell of jasmine in the dark.

(and, also, why is it that jasmine scent, however expensive, never manages to smell quite as wonderful as jasmine itself??)
