What soft incense hangs upon the boughs

I wish there existed a Smell-O-Camera*, because I would like to make a record of the scent of honeysuckle and send it to all of you. The vines have taken over my neighborhood--well, the whole state, really, but particularly my neighborhood, where pretty much every yard has at least one patch growing alongside another bush or tree, and some patches are huge--and it smells incredible. It's sort of like a mixture of sugar and sunblock and maybe a little coconut.

However, since I have no Smell-O-Camera, you get three pictures from my regular camera. None of them are of honeysuckle, actually.


Chamomile and an attractive yellow flower!


Pretty purple flower! I took a picture of another one at Cheekwood, but I don't know what they're called.


Bluebird not looking very blue, so I guess it's a female. I saw another one go into the bird box, so I think they have babies.


* I'm sure Professor Farnsworth, were he a real character, could make me one.
