Hello there,

Lilacs are blooming right now and their fragrance is just amazing. This type of lilac is the most common and it's often grown in hedges.

Lilacs have started to bloom.

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 :))))

No need to wait for a son or a daughter to bring you flower when you can get a nice bouquet from a tree.... I will enjoy the lilac for a few days. To all the moms in Canada and USA celebrating Mother's Day today May 14, I hope you had a wonderful day ( I did with a nice hike this morning and a excellent dinner last night with my family)

Je ne suis pas du genre a avoir des attentes pour un cadeau pour la fête des Mères..je me suis fait plaisir en coupant ce lilas et je vais l'apprécier pendant quelques jours. A toutes les mamans du Canada et USA , Bonne fête des Mères.

Our lilacs are making the air smell so perfumed.

My lilac bush and tree bring me so much joy when they bloom. I tried to do the bush justice by shooting it on a colorful sunset. I wonder if I could have done better with this one, so any creative suggestions are more than welcome! Thanks!

Lilac-breasted Roller, Kruger National Park

The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African bird of the roller family, Coraciidae. It is widely distributed in Southern and Eastern Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula.[1] It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, amphibians and small birds moving about on the ground.[2] Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs are laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to a fair height (69 to 144 metres), descending in swoops and dives,[3] while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes do not differ in coloration, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults.

I wish my camera had a way to capture scent; these were amazing!

It's lilac blooming time! I'm always delighted by these breathtaking, infinite shades of purple. This one is my from local neighborhood, I think Spy Pond.

Happy Sunday all!
