| It happens the same way every year. I'm outside and I notice a wonderful smell. What is it? I look around and there's a linden tree covered with flowers. The air is full of their smell: bright, floral, sweet, piercing, lemony, honeyed, and delicious. It's happening on my street right now. Click to enlarge. |

| Here is the same tree in winter. And here is a haiku by Kobayashi Issa to consider while appreciating the scent of linden flowers: |
still I see them
how they were ...
bare winter trees
