Afternoon Flowers (8 pix)

[melcooney]

The flowers are in full bloom in our neighborhood...
including the lilac bushes! Here are a few shots
from this afternoon:

1. I love the fluffy dandelions!

2. These lilacs line our driveway, they actually
belong to the neighbors...they smell so sweet!

4. These flowers grow through an iron gate
behind my son's school:

7. These daffodils are growing in my backyard:

8. This tree grows at the end of our street.
I think it is just lovely with the purple flowers growing
all around the base:

Our lilacs are only just showing their buds. But I can't wait for them to bloom (May is "lilac month" here in Germany), I love their smell, and will definitely (once again! for the umptieth spring in a row) take their picture again, too. And for mine I need not even "steal" the flowers from the neighbours, which I had to do for my forsytiae photos (psssst! ) since we pruned our own forsytiae a bit too much (oops! "digital flower pictures" must never read this!!!!)

Your photo of the fluffly dandelion is really nice.
And I like the composition of the last, with the colourful bottom against the still quite "empty" tree.
