Deb R came up with another fun ‘getting to know you’ over at Create a Connection.
A Feast for the Senses
1. What are some of your favorite smells? Genuine artists turpentine, good strong coffee, freshly falling rain after a dry spell, pine needles, lemon peel, jasmine, gardenia, and freshly baked bread. What's a smell that many other people seem to like, but you don't? Very sweet perfume
2. What are some of your favorite tastes? Steak, biltong (beef jerky to my US friends!) asparagus, black calamata olives, tomato soup, prawns, feta cheese, mangoes. What's a taste many other people seem to like, but you don't? Avocado pear (sorry Ali- honey but I find them GROSS!)
3. What are some of your favorite textures? Plush and rich feeling fabrics like velvet, chenille, the new mock suedes. Cat fur. The patina of well worn and cared for old wood. Facetted crystal, sea worn frosted glass fragments, rounded pebbles. What's a texture that many other people seem to like, but you don't? peach skin, can’t handle it on my teeth!
4. What are some of your favorite sounds? Most music, laughter, the sea pounding on rocks, the throaty roar of a V8 engine, cat purring, the warbling tones of the coucal (a local bird) What's a sound that many other people seem to like, but you don't? R&B music.
5. What are some of your favorite sights? Joy on my grandson’s face. Light through coloured glass, or leaves. Sunsets and sunrises. Wild arid places, like the Namibian desert. The sea in all her moods. An F14 tomcat taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, WOW. Beautiful old buildings. What's a sight that many other people seem to like but you don't? Fake man-made canned entertainment places like Disney world.
Bonus: If you could greatly enhance just one sense - say for instance see as many colors as a bird, or smell as many distinct scents as a dog - which sense would it be and why?
It would have to be sight, I already have a passion for colour and the play of light and shadow, it would be amazing to enhance it.
as promised, some new work

Some great photos here! Looks like you are kept very busy! I found my way to you blog via Ruth and thought I would say hello! :o) Hope you have a nice trip and I will pop back again soon :o)
Great meme answers, you sound very interesting and observant..!
The coloured glass in your window is wonderful..hope to see you back soon.
Good answers, so glad you played!
You named some stuff I would've included if I'd thought of them, including peach skin as a bad texture (actually any sort of fruit or veg skin for me - I need them peeled!!), and cat purring as a good sound....so soothing!
Fingers crossed that my connection holds long enough for me to post this!!
I'd have to agree with all of your
"feasts"
