These beautiful glories grow along my backyard neighbor's fence-line and spill generously over into my yard. I LOVE lilacs!! I think they're about the only flowering tree (or is it technically a bush?) that grows in Wyoming, and I looked forward to their arrival every spring when I was a kid. With three lilac bushes in the backyard, the scent of the flowers is wonderfully pervasive; it hits you as soon as you walk out the door. I'm enjoying every minute of their too-short life (I like to sit under the branches and breathe deeply - I feel so serene) and will miss them when they are gone.

That smell does bring back fond memories. Too bad there are no lilacs here in Hawaii.
Oh I love that smell! I have talked to Keith about having lilacs in our back yard for that same reason. You took a really good picture too I like how you can see the water on the leaves.
