“You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. “Sap?” Logan guessed. “Chlorophyll?” Murphy shook her head. “Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years’ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.” ~ By Frances O’Roark Dowell in 'Where I’d like to be'

Such a beautiful place!
Hi Gemma,
your photo is beautiful. I love such pläces with plants and water.
I wish you a nice weekend.

A lovely view out over the water. It feels very peaceful.
Beautiful, Gemma! Green goes with everything, does it not?
Many thanks for contributing to the third Friday Greens meme last week. Hope to see you returning for the fourth!
