Lilacs

I have added pictures of the lilacs that were in bloom in my yard recently. I am only adding these pictures now because it took time to decide which pictures stand out. Lilacs, I discovered, are more difficult to capture than magnolia blossoms because of their smaller size. Typically, the lilacs where I live bloom later in the spring. This year is exceptional because of how much further ahead the plants and flowers are in their development compared to an average year. If you should decide that you want to see these pictures blown up a little, click on one and then zoom in by clicking on 150% or 200%.
