Lilacs have started to bloom.

Some gorgeous blossoms from my back garden. The lilacs belong to one neighbour & the white apple blossoms are from another neighbour. They make for a pretty sight.

It's cold, blowing a gale and we've had showers of hailstones so back to normal British Bank Holiday weekend weather!!! Hope it's better where you are.

Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images :))))

The beautiful lilac tones first attracted me to this rose, so unusual and delicate looking.To fill the frame ,I experimented and double exposed the image.

Today visiting my son & his family, of course, my beloved two granddaughters and found out there are 10 lilac trees in their backyard.....smell so PRETTY!

What a pleasant treat!! :-))

I was fascinated by all the lilac florets on the ground after a long hard rainfall.

When I'm not smelling the flowers, you can find me on Twitter

My son planted this gorgeous double lilac some years ago when his best friend died, and under its roots are a selection of memories - his favourite chocolate bar, an Asterix book, some of his writings, etc.

Lilacs are in full bloom now. I love their smell... :)

Bzy już są w pełni kwitnienia. Uwielbiam ten ich zapach... :)

I've always loved lilac, looked forward to it every year as a child after the really cold winters, lovely memories of summer dresses and warmth and playing outside all day, wandering off and staying out until we were hungry, sad those days have gone now with the advent of stranger danger.

This shrub is in my neighbour's garden, a lovely dark colour lilac.

The Lilac-breasted roller is a beautifully colored African bird known for its acrobatic aerial displays during the breeding season. The sexes look similar, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults. This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.

I submitted this and three other works to the 34th Visual Arts Alliance Jutied Membershipo Exhibition, which opens on Wednesday next. This one didn't make it, but I've added the two that did--each posted previously--in the comments below. Each was digitally remixed from a single exposure of a drab concrete floor in an art space repurposed from an earlier industrial use. The colors are strongly enhanced, but were already implicit in the uneven lighting at the scene. With a little exploration, art can emerge from a post-industrial environment.

The title recalls Walt Whitman's elegy for Abraham Lincoln, although truncating it to just 3 words allows a more hopeful interpretation. The image reminds me of a garden in raking light, either dawn or twilight. My wife thinks it looks more like a birch tree on a lake shore. Happy for you to find your preferred interpretation.
