Here are some of my favorites.
 Birdsong. Particularly robins singing at dawn and wood thrushes singing before dark.
 The smell of coffee.
 The smell of fresh cut grass.
 The first geese flying over in the spring, and again in the fall.
 The first snow.
 The smell of bread baking.
 The wet leaf smell in the fall woods.
 Coming home after a long day's work and sitting by the pond feeding the ducks/fish.

So many good things mentioned. Some of mine...
 Birds...ruffed grouse drumming, loons, bobwhite whistle , varied thrush song, meadowlarks , robins , large owls at night.
 
 The musical hum felt under foot of ice freezing thick on a lake, hearing the sound coming to you , then resonating through you ,from one shore to the other.
 
 The Aurora Borealis.
 
 Overflow ice colours on rivers.
 
 A full stacked woodshed.
 
 The smell of gunpowder.
 
 Heat of the house washing over your face in entry on a frigid day. Smelling good cooking after breathing cold air outside, and cooking for those who appreciate your talent .
 
 Smelling fresh alfalfa hay, and mint crops after a cool rain.
 
 Lightning in huge thunder clouds.
 
 Singing perfect harmony in blended feeling with another singer, or playing your part well on an instrument with other very good musicians.
 
 Beautiful art painted by the old Masters.
 
 The human body, well built, in athletic action, in slow motion video. Animals moving at speed and turns in slow motion video.
 
 Beautiful fur textures and colours.
 
 The smell of clean oiled leather saddles , sweet feed and hay bales.
 
 The face of someone well loved.
 
 Glass pack low rumble of a V8 engine.
 
 An able bodied powerful man chopping wood.
 
 Thank you, Jack, for this thread.

The first red-winged blackbird song in the springSeeing the first killdeer in the spring
 The smell after a summer rain
 The smell of a salt marsh
 The sight of a dark circle int he front on an early morning trapline
 The sound of coyotes yapping in the predawn darkness
 The sight of a trout rising in the stream
 The sound of a hawk screaming
 The sound of barred owls in the spring, or a great horned owl anytime
 
 Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure
