Time of lilacs

I saw first lilacs burst into flower about two weeks ago and it seems that the lilac that we have in our garden follows the lead at last and starts to open its buds. I still have a few still-life photos featuring the lilac that I took last May so now it would be the right time to share them. These are just branches cut from the bush.

I added some haze to the first photo to get a different feel and to create something not that straightforward, what a change.

Lilac are the essence of May, aren’t they. They always confirm to me that winter is soon to be definitely over, their flowers are a welcome sight.

What I love about lilacs is that their flowers make me feel positive, make me appreciate the beauty, make me focus on the pleasant. Just a common bush and so much magic…
