Lilac Time





I am thinking of the lilac-trees,
That shook their purple plumes,
And when the sash was open,
Shed fragrance through the room.
- Mrs. Anna S. Stephens, The Old Apple-Tree

Sweet, sweet lilacs.

  5. Very pretty pictures of your lilacs! I also like how you made the edges of the photos have a dreamy quality to them.
