The sound of a vacuum cleaner in the hallway behind a locked apartment door.

The taste of coffee sipped on a cool shaded balcony.
The taste of sharp cheddar and cool granny smith apples.

The feel of cool wet dewy grass between my toes.

The smell of manure coming up on you as you drive through the country with windows down.

The sight of sparrows hopping through the branches of an old pine tree.
The sight of distant trees swaying in the wind.

The sound of children's laughter in the park
The taste of Chocolate Italian Ice
The sight of white clouds drifting slowly across a blue sky
The smell of suntan lotion on the breeze
The feel of the cool damp grasses beneath my bare feet
Chi 2010

Great idea, Freesia16

The sound of the ocean

The taste of watermelon on a summer day

The feel of a hug from someone you love

The smell of honeysuckle in June

The sight of a night full of stars

Thanks Freesia. This makes us think of all the little things that make life worth living!

The sound of music lulling you to sleep

The taste of lips so sweet

The feel of a lovers passionate embrace

The smell of perfume in the night air

The sight of anticipation written on on your face


Thank you Free for the wonderful idea,
to get the creative juices flowing!

The sound of spring peepers in April

The taste of a good pinot grigio

The feel of towels just out of the dryer

the smell of brownies baking

the sight of a fleeting humminbird

I love that you have us thinking of these things, Free. It reminds us of all we take for granted.

The chirping sound of crickets on a warm summer night
The feel of fresh cotton bed sheets coming down to rest upon my skin
The scent of a Hausermann orchid in full bloom
The sight of lit candles flickering together in the dark
The taste of salt on the tip of my tongue

The sight of a man wearing a bowler hat, red shirt and billowy shiny gold pants walking on stilts.

The feel of shade after stepping under a tree out of the noonday sun.

The feel of the wind pushing back your hair as you ride your bike.

The taste of soft, grilled sweet red peppers..

The sound of children squealing happily as they slide down a giant carnival slide.

The smell of lilacs in a gentle spring breeze.

Red face

The Sound of crickets and bull frogs in the still of the night.

The taste of his lips sweetly laced with red wine.

The feel of his breath transported me to a place divine.

The smell of cooling chocholate chip cookies wisped through the air.

The sight of the white, long necked crane, perched on the pool, peering down into pond, made me scream, "No!".
