The photohunt theme this week is smelly. I got the idea for this photohunt picture when I was digging underneath a largely inactive compost heap.
The sweetest, most pleasant smell wafted up to my nostril for sheer delight of the senses. I couldn't figure out where the scent was coming from. Lo and behold, I realized that my shovel had caught on a mint leaf.
That's why I thought a photo of my bathroom with dried lavender by the sink as well as the herbal soaps and herbal hair gook I use would be appropriate for smelly. The unpleasant smells which occasionally occur in a bathroom are best taken care of by good ventilation. I'm glad to have windows and ventilating fans in my bathrooms.PhotoHunt

That's an interesting combination of smell related material.

Great choice for the theme
I love the way you can always weave a tale through a Photo Hunt theme...I look forward to it every week. You take smelly and form a minty aroma with a hint of the fragrance of lavender.
Ah, the scent of words!
Love, K.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only by the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.

All kinds of odiferous things today. Good photos as usual Carver.
I love the smell of the mint. Bathroom should have a ventilation or else, ewww. *wink* Btw, nice smelly photohunt this week.
Mine is up in Photographic Memories.
Oh that must have been nice. When I was digging in the weeds/yard last summer, I kept smelling wild onions. It was pretty nice.
Great shots and a wonderful idea. :)

happy weekend~
Mint is good. Ours nearly died off in the drought but has sprung back with a vengeance. I'm convinced it's indestructible!
wonderful post for this week's theme! :)
This is a lovely post. I can't live without lavender. I wish I had thought of finding a photo of it in my files.
great entry....what a neat bathroom..
That's a neat bathroom you have there! And I bet smells nice too. :)
mmm.... time for a mint tea.
i agree with you on the bathroom smell. :)
happy weekend! :)
You have a good one, all of your pictures smell good and clean. A great one on the mint story.
You have nice bathroom. I could imagine the fragrance of dried lavender by the sink.
I love the smell of fresh mint. My husband planted some which he uses for cooking.
love that mint pic!! :D fabulous photos!
Great photo. mint leaves - smelly to some but nice to others :)
Was wondering were you were going with the bathroom picture- it looked so clean and non smelly to me- and now I know why.
oh, I remember smelling mint leaves with my Grandma up in Northern Michigan as a child! I love the lavender in the bathroom! great idea! My photo is up, please come and visit
Ouh what a great post! :D
I do like the smell of anything minty.
I like mint smell & definitely lavender too!
The first thing I noticed is those dried lavenders. They sit so well by your sink. :)
what a great entry.good ventilation is a must..happy hunting.mine is up too.
Oh good one!!!!
Thanks for dropping by my 'smelly' blog.
Get some worms into your compost heap that will get it going and the smell of a good compost is very satisfying.
Cheers Mark
A great linking mixture of photos. How nice to get a good smell when you're expecting bad.
Excellent shots!
Great selection of smelly photos. Mint smells absolutely wonderful. :)
My smelly photo.
I love the smell of mint... compost, too, when it's doing its job well... earthy!
My smelly photo is up, too... come visit!
ooohhh... this reminds me of my old house in Buffalo. There was mint growing all over the back yard. I used to hand bunches of it in the basement to keep away the spiders.
We have mint in our back yard. It's just lovely when you mow over it!
Mint:good
lavendar:good
bathroom :can be good
composte:good
I love thatearthy smell esp when you helped"save the earth"
Lovely photos as always :-) Yes, it's nice that there is different smells, not just disguisting... *giggles*

I always thought that "smelly" means a bad smell, but that can't be possible in your case, lol !
I just love love love the smell of fresh mint leaves! :)
happy weekend!
Thanks so much to all the Saturday photo hunters for visiting and commenting. It's been another fun hunt. Thanks also to K for your kind words and quote. I'd love to see what you'd do on some of these theme if you had a blog.
I agree, ventilation is a wonderful thing!
I remember when I was young, walking in the woods with my grandma, and she used to pick the leaves and chew on them,..and we did the same. Funny how that memory just popped up! Great photos and have a good weekend.
What beautiful pictures. Nice bathroom too!
great photos and they worked ver well with the theme.
Great shots! Very creative!
I would agree on the bathroom and the compost! Must be some unique smells from the compost!
I love to use mint in my cooking. It tastes wonderful. Lavender for the bathroom sure get rid of all bad odor. Good choice too. See you around Carver :)
That's ME! ---on Mr. Linky...."HALLOWEEN TREAT"...I just wanted to get your attention to let you know I have a treat for you at my blog. The Sunday Entry!!!
You sure got some smelly points here
What a delightful find :)
*smile* I'm ba-a-a-ck!! Just like a Poltergeist. hehehehe
I'm so happy to know you enjoyed your treat.
I love your bathroom and the lavendar smells! But geeze, how do you find the time to get to all of these comments.. I see you on everyone one I visit too. ;-)
Thanks again to the the photo hunters for visiting and the Hootin' Anni for the treat.
Expat Traveler, Time, hmmmmm, well here goes, serious answer. First and foremost, photo memes are a great excuse not to clean my house. I start browsing, I read fast, I type fast, but oh so many blogs and oh so little time so something has to give and housecleaning gets push way down on the list. I LOVE that.
I used to spend a lot of my spare time doing active activities that I can't do anymore due to physical issues. I could do more than I've been doing lately so while the weather is better, I probably need to spend less time on the photo memes and more time outside. I am actually not visiting as many as I did at first. Next weekend if I participate at all it will be an early post and visiting a few late because I won't be at my computer over the weekend. Wooohoooo. As a matter of fact I have a few weekends like that coming up. Woooohoooo, chasing the autumn leaves and a different surrounding.
Have a good one and by the way. If someone asks me a rhetorical question they often get a literal answer. I'm irritating like that.
Great photos!
I love the smell of mint and all the lovely fragrances in bathroom soaps and lotions. Good choices, Carver. And thanks so much for stopping by Pollywog Creek and commenting on the smelly stuff there! Have a wonderful Week!
