  1. I can just smell the lilacs through your photo. It reminds me of the lilacs planted in my yard alongside the forest and bubbling brook near the home where I grew up.

    It brings back images of my wonderful parents and blessed childhood, all of which are now just beautiful memories.

    A gorgeous flower with such an enchanting smell. One that makes you close your eyes and breathe in deeply! Ahhhhhhhhh. Love lilacs. :)

  2. It's amazing how smells can jog your memory and just take you back to another time. I'm so glad my photo took you back to those happy childhood days! Thank you!
