The most beautiful day of the year

I've wanted to start this thread so many times this year. . . there have been so many beautiful, glorious days this year and each time I think "this is probably the last really beautiful day" and then another comes along. Take yesterday morning-- what a wonderful combination of warm moist air and all the smells of autumn.

Bouncing this thread to the top heretoforth will be considered a declaration that said bouncer considers the day upon which the bouncing occurs to be the most beautiful day of the year.

Agreed. Hopefully Mother Nature will give us many to choose from . . .

This morning surely qualifies for at least the second most beautiful day of the year.

Perfect this morning. Wonderful fragrances at the moment-- I never realized until this year how fragrant some flowering trees are (e.g. crab apple.) I spent half my ride musing as to exactly why fresh cut grass smells so much like cutting into a watermelon.

Hard to believe, but people who live in San Diego don't even notice days like today anymore, let alone treasure them.

Another reason I don't want to live in San Diego!

There are a lot of wonderful aromas in the air at this time of year - one of my favorite things about this season and why I'd much rather be riding or walking than in a car.
