Blooms, Lilac 'royalty'

One of my favourites in the garden.

gorgeous scent

I do that too, bury my face in a nice scent!

beautiful photo

Good shot, the sky looks very dramatic

Nicely shot, GT!

Thank you. What a great response! I'm so pleased to have a lilac around once again. So wonderful. Smell isn't everything to me for a flower, but I will enjoy it to the fullest if there is one. One of the delights of the garden. We had constant passing thunderheads, so the sky was often dark and broiling this year, I will say this shot had some planning behind it..... ;-)

Fantastic photo!
Lovely background sky

Thanks. Another with lots of planning. Now I've a new camera and I'm not as practiced a hand any longer.

Your photos are really good!

Wish I had a secret. Comes with collecting all summer and then picking out the good ones. I just got a new Sony NEC-C3. Now its a new world.
