I love lilacs. As a kid, our yard was bordered by them. Many happy memories associated with lilacs.
Ty for sharing!

Growing up in the south, I always wished we had them there. It just doesn’t get cold enough for them to grow well. When I moved to NY, I was thrilled to find a huge lilac right outside my living room window! The blooms don’t last long. But, they are so beautiful.

My crocuses, tulips, day lilies and irises have sprouted.

I love the way you captured the dewiness of the leaves and buds, the water just sparkles.
