The smells of Spring flowering in our neighborhood once again show our human efforts to mimic nature minor league. Even the most brilliant photographs ( Ansel Adams etc) or exquisite paintings (Monet etc.) pale in comparison to a human being who has fully engaged all his senses to experience the great out doors. Once my daughter went on a school trip to Cape Cod. Her teacher told her to stop taking pictures and “be fully in the moment”. She came home and told us she had been given the best lesson of her life. Her mind’s eye and all her other senses create images & fully embedded memories a camera can never duplicate. Oh, the undiluted smell of lilacs...♥️❗️♥️
The smell really is! I just love it and find myself standing by the liliac bush to smell as often as I can. :) Thanks for reading and sharing mom! Love you
On my goodness, I didn't know they liked them too. We have so many deer around us but luckily they haven't eaten our lilac bush. I'm sending you the smell and flowers through this message. :)

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing and what great advise..."be fully in the moment." So true. Let's stop and smell the lilacs. :)
My grandparents always had them and I had them when I was a kid. The smell is heavenly.

I miss having lilacs. The deer kept eating them so I no longer have any. :)

Love my lilacs at home and on our school's playground!
Oh wonderful! Thank you for sharing Claudette. Enjoy your day. :)
