Azure and Pine

Azure:
Definition:
1. deep blue: deep blue, like the color of a clear sky ( literary )

Pine:

Definition:
1. Any of various evergreen trees of the genus Pinus, having fascicles of needle-shaped leaves and producing woody, seed-bearing cones. These trees are widely cultivated for ornament and shade and for their timber and resinous sap, which yields turpentine and pine tar.
2. Any of various other coniferous trees, such as the Norfolk Island pine.
3. The wood of any of these trees.


My definition of Azure and Pine is more of a feeling and a scent. I look up into that beautiful blue blue sky and think of vacations and all the fun I had growing up and camping with my parents and hearing my mom say, "Wow! Just look at that Azure sky!"

And what I think of pine is closing my eyes and inhaling that scent that is at once peaceful to me and takes me to the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Black Hills pines just have a special scent all of their own which ties into Azure skies and vacations, time with family and great memories.
