I was absolutely not going to walk tonight because I was up very early and worked a super long day. Plus I had over 10k steps just from walking around the office. By the time I got home and had dinner I just wanted to collapse. But look! Who can relax on a night like this? So I threw on my shoes and a sweatshirt and was out the door.
It was a perfect temperature and a perfect evening and the air was full of the smell of lilacs. They really seem to be lasting a nice long while this year. It always seems like you blink and you miss them! So I’m thrilled that they are lingering. The other flowering trees are too.
First, the lilacs!
This next two are obviously not lilacs but I will throw them in for good measure.
When I returned home from my hike all over the local neighborhoods looking for the best lilacs to photograph, I snipped a few from my own lilac trees and brought the outside in!
