Lilac season is way too short!
If these blooms would have been made to last, say, another month longer, I know I would have still appreciated them as much as I do now.

Wonderful colour.

I agree Don, we have several bouquets throughout the house.
What a wonderful spring fragrance they add and the colors are terrific.
Your presentation here does them great justice!
Guest 15-May-2005 21:22
I think you have found the way to make them last
Guest 15-May-2005 15:12
I can almost smell them from here! Nice coloring.

Our neighbour has one. You've captured their beauty well.

Beautiful colors on these blossoms. Wish I could smell them over the internet.
Nice shot.

We were born & raised in southern cooler areas & lilacs were always grown...I still miss their fragrance.

We're weak for lilacs in our house! My wife had huge bushes next to the house growing up, so naturally we have them in our house now! Excellent image and colors. Really brings in the spring.

I would speak for God :) I'm a christian, btw, nice shot! Good use of Depth of Field

Yes, I miss lilacs desperately. They can't grow here in San Diego. Too hot. So thanks for the reminder ..... wish I had smell-o-vision!

Nice shot Don - looks nice!
