Delightful...and I know exactly what you mean. Strangely, in Northern California, we don't get that scent often like I remember from living other places. The illo captures the experience of smelling that scent perfectly.

The subtle colors against the pencil is just perfect. That smell is just as nice after a quick rain and the sun comes out.
