lovely lilacs

One of my favorite signs of spring is lilacs. The Arnold Arboretum has incredible lilacs which they are so proud of they do an annual lilac festival on Mother's Day. Since everything seems to be coming out early - the lilacs in my neighborhood are already in bloom this seemed like a good time to visit the arboretum to see the lilacs.

And good timing to test out some of my skills from yesterday's photography class.
