My April Challenge - Day 26

Gale force winds and heavy showers interspersed with short sunny intervals. Not good weather for outdoor flower photography.

The Lilac bush was getting a hammering in the wind, so I cut off a branch to photograph indoors. I am reasonably pleased with this one.

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.
