The picture is taken to the south; the weather and wind generally come from the West or South. It often wafts through the house in late afternoon, a wave of sudden olfactory awakening and pleasure.
Here, the lilacs are connected to the famous Stone Fly Hatch on the Big Hole. The Lilacs and Stone flies have some connections, which is climate coincidence, I'm sure. But I'm not a 'local', so my vote don't count.
That is so beautiful. Mine have come and gone too soon, but oh how glorious my garden and home smelled while they were here.

DeleteI used to love lilacs back in my Dakota days.
ReplyDeleteThey are still the same, Bruce.
DeleteWish you could smell them.
Neighbor next door when I was a kid had a big lilac bush. Loved them so.
ReplyDeleteFunny how childhood smell, scents, can trigger memories. Mine are of asphalt (blacktop)and of Pine tree's on a hot day on the Deschutes.
DeleteLilacs were always a fragrant evidence that good weather had arrived.
ReplyDeleteHere their presence usually means the stonefly hatch is ready on the Big Hole River.
DeleteThis makes me miss Montana, one of my favorite states! Thank you.
