The Color Purple
Now this is the Art in Every Day I'm talking about! This beauty welcomes ourappreciation of it. It was a wondrously, glorious and beautiful day to celebrate Nature's beauty at the Lilac Festival!
Who would have thought there are so many different varieties and shades of lilacs! The wind was blowing when I took that first photo...but even though it's a little blurry...it makes it easier for you to smell the lilac's windblown fragrance...right?
Appreciating and sharing Mother Nature's jewels is another way to honor being Creative Every Day*. The Lilac Fest donned bountiful, fragrant and numerous varieties of lilacs.
.
We heard lots of "ooos" and "ahhhs"...and we were giddy as we stopped to "smell the flowers". The clear blue sky and Spring breeze werethe perfect backdrop to show off these lilacious gems!
Isn't this one gorgeous! Its color is a pinkish purple, and the flowers grow elongated on the branch vs. in clusters like the others.
Nature's beauty knows no boundaries... it overflows...and grows. What a gift to have such beauty around us.
Thank you God, thank you Universe, thank you Spirit, thank you Mother Nature, thank you Father Sun...thank you... thank you... thank you...for this captivating slideshow of your creativity.
