“Fieldnotes from an unrefined olfactory sensor”

Nature's symphony unfolds around, where a autumn breeze rustles through the leaves, carrying with it the cool, powdery, yet musky scent of earth topped with wildflowers. The soft, tinkling sound of water droplets cascades from the nearby creek, creating a soothing melody that harmonises with the vibrant chatter of industrious bees and ants scurrying about in their tireless pursuit of sustenance. Above, a chorus of birds songs in the air – a blend of sweet and lively notes, though their identities remain a delightful mystery. In the distance, the slow, resonant crow of the Tasmanian Raven echoes, adding a deep, sonorous layer to this natural orchestra, grounding. *Deep breath*
