Our backyard lilac bush exploded this week ↑ so we thought that we should drive down to Franktown to explore their acres of wild lilacs. This weekend will be their Lilac Festival, but unfortunately, the lilacs are lagging a bit down there and will probably require another few days before they bloom in profusion.
There were some wonderful patches, which Sue enjoyed.
I played with a Live Photo of the above snap and turned it into a gif.
I took far photos, and Sue took close ones, and hers worked a lot better.
Der Flieder ist einfach verträumt... und er riecht so wunderbar. Du hast ein paar tolle Fotos mit Sue gemacht.

It's a fragrant time of year.
ReplyDeleteI can smell this post...quite heavenly.
ReplyDeleteLove the smell and the beautiful flowers! I never think of close ups and they really are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteNot much better of a scent than a lilac!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Lilac has such a beautiful scent.
ReplyDeleteThose lilacs are stunning! That would be a nice place to sit for a spell under your lilacs.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous blooms! The GIF is very creative.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLilac is heavenly. This makes me want to plant one.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd just go sit under that tree till every blossom fell off!
ReplyDeleteMy wife’s favorite flower is the lilac.

I've unsuccessfully tried growing lilacs for the last decade.
ReplyDeleteLilacs are my wife's favorites. Lilacs will be while before they appear here.
ReplyDeleteGlorious! If only you could share the fragrance.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilacs! We had a gorgeous white lilac, but it had to be removed for some building work. I was so sad to see it go.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about the festival. We have a ton of lilacs here. I walked outside and wondered what that lovey fragrance was! (Duh!)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE that! My favorite scent after lavender.
ReplyDeleteThe Lilacs are in bloom here too.
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs and they don't bloom well where I live. I did buy a lilac bush developed for my area but it usually has about 6 blossom clusters, which I treasure. I like what Sue is wearing.
