Lilac time of year

It's the time of year when the lilacs are in full bloom. It's also the time of year when I ask DD#2 to take the yearly lilac pictures, and here they are.



The butterflies just flock to the flowers.






Let me just say that this is the fullest that my lilac bush has been. As always, we picked a couple of blossoms to put inside only to have them wilt by the next day. For one day though, it's lovely.
