How clever of you to pick some lilac to take a picture of it! Windy, rainy days make it difficult to take photos, don't they? This is a very unusual colour of lilac which I don't think I've seen before. I just love the individual flowers! Yesterday evening it suddenly got sunny and we had blue skies... I couldn't believe it and dashed outside with my camera. I tried a few lilac shots too, but the flowers are only just starting to open at the moment. Thank you for popping in to my place and leaving some comments!
After I read your comment, I looked at the lilac again in daylight by the window. I think I have got the white balance wrong on this photo since in natural light the lilac looks much more lilac-coloured! (ie: more blue than red).
However, I have another lilac bush which has much more reddish coloured flowers.
There are so many noteworthy events and sightings during the year in my garden, that I decided to record them with photos whenever possible. Click on the photos to see a larger version. Enjoy!
