My favourite...

A few random things that inspire my senses.  I'm sure there's a ton more, some I just can't think of right now and others I'd include but I'm keeping this PG rated...


Smell

a nice woman's fragrance (not too soapy or flowery)
coffee (even though I don’t drink it)
freshly washed hair
leather
baby powder
vanilla
McDonald's fries (is it just me?)
fresh-baked bread
gasoline (yeah it’s weird, but I know some of you will agree)
our garden after a rainfall


Sounds

a grand piano
saxophone
thunderstorms
whispered promises
a sweet female vocal
children’s laughter
wind chimes
songbirds in the winter
opening a can of Coke or a bottle of beer in the summer
high heels on a hard floor
anything byLuther Vandross
a well-tuned sports car
an Australian, French or Spanish accent


Feel/ touch


wet hair
a baby’s cheek
silicone-coated anything
silk
a warm sweater on a cold day


Sights


the moon
a woman barefoot in the rain
a nice pair of eyes
new e-mail in my inbox
a fresh snowfall on pine trees
a girl in a sundress in the summertime


Taste


honey
anything chocolate
salty skin
a full-bodied red wine (cabernet sauvignon, merlot)

  5. What about a baby's sweet smell and their feet and toes. I think baby's feet are just so precious. Grownups usually not so much! :o)
