A nice thought about facing front and back..the first piece was especially intriguing
Thanks for visiting Jae
much love...

the fragrance will still find you
for sure....
happy sunday gillena
Lovely images....enjoyed especially thinking of the 'scent of twilight.'
Dressing in a kimono is a very difficult task... If she has to hide, so that only the "blossom's fragrance" see her back, I wonder who she is trying to hide from.
The second piece made me think of Jasmines in the night. And with the kimono piece preceding it, I couldn't help but picture Geisha on their way to entertain others...
Thanks for sharing Brian

Love the back and front blooming of flowers ~
Happy Women's Day to you, too!
I don't believe I've ever smelled a jasmine! I like the idea of flowers at the front gate--it's very welcoming.

I dont know if I've even seen a crepe jasmine, but I bet it smells heavenly, as all jasmine does.

Love the jasmine smell... there is always something special with a smell
I especially love the "scent of twilight". Always beautiful when flavored by blossoms.
Jasmine is so intoxicating as it drifts on the wind....
The scent of flowers can be so alluring. Jasmines have a very rich aroma..
Exquistely beautiful!

Fun scents--the second is yummy--I had night blooming Jasmine out in California which drew me outsie at night. The first is a fun mix of sensations and space. Great, Gillena
