For those of you wondering—yes, I HAVE been sniffing lilacs to the exclusion of almost everything else.
Did you expect anything different?
Not only have I been sniffing the greatest flowers (or, more technically, the greatest tree leaves) on the face of the Earth, I've also been snapping a few pictures of them. After all, they're only around for a week, week and a half at most; it's really a shame (at least in my weird opinion) if you don't take advantage of them while they're here. It is, after all, one of those classic “use it or lose it” situations, and I know on which side of that equation I would much rather err.
So here we go, starting with what some people might consider to be paradise--
And then there's this...
And this...
And this...
And this...
And then there's this one. While I took the above shots yesterday, this one I took at the end of last week, when it was wet, chilly, and the lilacs hadn't yet fully come out. Yet there's just something...atmospheric about this particular one--
I've said this before, and I'll say this again. Hi, I'm Jim, and I'm a lilacholic. So you know what I'll be sniffing a whole bunch of this weekend.
