Photos and perfect weather

Start

I'd like to talk about a day last April, when the weather was absolutely perfect. I still remember how good it felt.

Where you were

I was in Shiraz, visiting my cousins during the Nowruz holiday. Shiraz is famous for its gardens, and spring is the best season there.

What the weather was like

It was sunny, but not hot, about twenty-two degrees. There was a light, cool breeze, and the sky was completely blue, with no clouds. The air smelled of orange blossoms, because the orange trees were in flower.

What you did

We spent the whole day outside. In the morning, we walked in Eram Garden. Then we had a picnic lunch on the grass in a park. In the afternoon, we visited the tomb of the poet Hafez, and in the evening, we sat in a garden café until late.

Why it was perfect

It was perfect because it was ideal for being outside all day. I didn't feel too hot or too cold, and I didn't need a jacket. The flowers, the sunshine and the soft wind made everyone happy and relaxed. Days like that remind me how important simple things are.
