#lilac

Eläin 1/3 I've been to Finland, not for the first time but PROPERLY for the first time. I was smitten. Helsinki is hands down the most beautiful city I've ever been to. I could go on for hours -- or millions of pics -- but this is not the place for that. Just: go there, people. These lynx adorn one of the gate posts to majestic Marmoripalatsi / Marmorpalatset (which is apparently up for sale if you can spare some 10 million Euros), one of countless magnificent buildings in the city centre. #lynx #lodjur #statue #art #lilac #bloom #helsinki #helsingfors #finland #triptych #pixelfedsweden

#Lilac bush (genus #Syringa ). This pic is from a few weeks back. It never fully bloomed, probably because of the mid-month cold snap. Other lilacs in the neighborhood bloomed earlier and really pumped out their fragrance. Looking forward to next year's display. Good morning partypeople. #bloomscrolling #SmallCityLivin

One of my lilacs is fading, and the other is just opening. #lilac #bloomscrolling
