Having had a rather intense work day at home, I stepped outside once or twice to smell the roses. Well, not actually the roses, since they haven't quite bloomed at the moment. But I did get to 'smell' the native frangipanis.* Now this tree blossoms but once a year, for about five days and often because of work commitments, mostly conferences and things, I tend to miss them completely. Generally, my neighbour kindly texts me to let me know they are in blossom and looking lovely.
But today, I was able to take them in for myself, along with one or two others around the place, including the emerging Madonna's Lily.

And at the end of the day, the sky turned a lovely pinky-orange.
