RE: Spring Color

These are the things I like to enjoy as much as possible with my family. I do, but I find it hard to share images/videos of my travels. I rejoice when others share their experiences, I am transported and become part of them in my imagination.

Furthermore, I love fish, and little Smallsteps enjoys it. Candyfloss, I don't know if that's what they call it in Finland, but here in Canada it's known as Cotton Candy, and it's very typical in winter and spring. Spring is not yet in full swing, but the snow is gone, I guess in a week we will see the meadows in bloom, the geosmin, and the petricor.

You should share! Keep it simple and personal, but you don't have to share your own people :)

Fairy floss is what it is called in Australia. Here in Finland it is "hattara"

I had to look up "geosim and petricor" :D
But yes. THe trees are starting to bud with leaves now, though mostly., it is a bit of a dust bowl and everything looks dead still. It is amazing how much energy must be used to create spring each year.

Can't be environmentally friendly!!

;D

Geosmin, which in Greek means scent of the earth, is responsible for this characteristic smell of wet earth. It is all due to a bacterium: Streptomyces coelicor or Albert's bacteria.

The word petricor is documented as an adaptation of the English petrichor in reference to the smell of rain. It is currently under study for inclusion in the academic dictionary.
