The scent of pine trees, simply goes with the summer for me. I love the way nature has made them, so that they can withstand dry heat and cold winters. They provide great shade on the beach and give you lots to look at: from pine cones to the needle like leaves. I took these images on my recent vacation, and since they don't really fit with the rest of the travel series, I decided to take them out and post them seperately.
The editing is half way done, and I hope to have finished soon, but I'm not rushing, because I want them to be great. You can already see some preview images on my Facebook Page.
And maybe not everyone associates them with summer, but here in South Europe they are a very common natural landmark of the Adriatic Sea.

These are beautiful trees! I've always like pines, especially in the winter with snow on them.
ReplyDeleteThat's their most delightful version.
Deletethe smell of summer to me is the salt water smell at the beach... and the smell of fresh cut grass. your piines are beautiful. they are different from our pines, more like the pines in the Northern part of the states
ReplyDeleteThere are many types of pines. Those in land look more traditional.
DeleteMany pine trees a pineta make ... beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePine Trees are and always have been a favorite for me. Love the scent. Reminds me of Christmas tho.
ReplyDeleteI guess my favorite summer scent would be the ocean breeze.
to add: these are excellent images...but you always have a great blog post.
DeleteThanks for your visit. There are many things that remind me of summer but for those on the south of Europe this is surely one of them.
DeleteAmazing plants, they survive fires but add fuel to them. I never associate them with summer though.
ReplyDeleteI'll think again.
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors in your photographs!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about pine trees! I even live in an area that's commonly known as the Piney Woods. It's the largest area of pine trees in Texas and even is a subject matter on Wikipedia! Beautiful shots as usual, Mersad.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds beautiful. Will look it up.
DeleteOh, yes! I do love pine trees and their wonderful scent! We have lots of them in a large park not too far from where I live! It's always a delight to walk there early in the morning!! Beautiful captures as always, Mersad! And, thanks, as always for sharing the beauty! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. That park sounds lovely.
DeleteI like your pine cone images. The smell of summer? Maybe the smell of people cooking outside on their grills.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one as well.
DeleteExcellent images. The cones are similar to ours but the needles differ. I associate them with winter though. In this area, the fragrance of fresh mown hay is indicative of summer days.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great as well. It's interesting to read what everyone associates with summer smells.
DeleteLovely, one of my favourite trees!
ReplyDeleteSkoro da mogu osjetiti miris crnogorice, koju obozavam!
ReplyDeleteHvala na posjeti Jasna.
DeleteI have always loved pinecones...and acorns and chestnuts also...no idea why. I like the coloring in the image of the pine cone. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlorious capture of the pine greens. Especially love the tones in the first macro.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite smell is the desert after a rain.
ReplyDeletePine cones are fascinating indeed...My sheets hung on the line epitomizes summer for me...bringing them in and making up my beds with those fresh smelling sheets does it for me♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/cone-flowers/
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely image. Thank you for your visit.
DeleteIch liebe diese Pinienwälder und habe sie auch das erste Mal in Kroatien erleben können. Einfach nur toll dieser Duft.
ReplyDeleteLiebe es überhaupt in der Natur die vielen Gerüche wahrnehmen zu können. Schon alleine am Abend wenn meine Trompetenbäume bzw. die Blüten ihre Düfte verströmen...meine Nase kann davon nie genug bekommen.
Tolle Fotoimpressionen lieber Mersad.
Hab ein schönes Wochenende und herzliche Grüsse
N☼va
Der Duft ist wirklich intensiv. Danke für deinen Komentar und Besuch Nova.
DeleteFreshly cut grass is my current favourite but I like the smell of pine as well... when I get near to one, that is.
ReplyDeleteI love the scent of pines all year long but it does remind me of childhood summers.
ReplyDeleteThe scent of summer to me? A few raindrops pattering in the desert!
ReplyDeleteShadowy Cleft
Lovely brushes with nature!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful series, Mersad.. I love trees, I mean I really love trees.. I hug them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura for stopping by.
DeleteOh these are lovely trees and that first shot of the cone is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ida.
