Lilac Time

There were purple lilacs...

And white lilacs...

And a wonderful mix of the glorious range of lilacs...

 I was in lilac fantasy land, totally enchanted with sight and scent. 

Despite a (not-so) little travel glitch and lots of rain, the weekend was lovely. We had a great trip up to Rochester, riding along the Erie Canal for a good part of the trip. The six hours went quickly and I loved the long, leisurely time of catching up with friends. Friday night was spent at the Lilac Festival and dinner with the graduate and one of his classmates. Saturday included a quick trip to the Farmer's Market. We so enjoyed the produce and plants, but there was too much rain for pictures. 

The highlight of Saturday -- and the weekend -- was graduation at spectacular Kodak Hall. It was a warm, personal and lovely event and we were very proud of "our" graduate. 

The ceiling of Kodak Hall. My camera didn't do the room justice. 

We made several other stops during the weekend, which will be the topics for other posts. Thanks for stopping by and visiting in Lilac Time!

I could almost smell the beautiful lilac. Thanks for sharing. Don;t know wht but there do'snt seem many lilacs around here in Box. We had a huge dark lilac and a white one up home In Scotland. We were not allowed to bring the blooms indoors as Mum said it was unlucky !! as if flowers could be unlucky...funny she was that way LOL Glad that you enjoyed your weekend so much,
Love Sybil xx

I love lilac, mine just bloomed a couple of days ago but the heavy downpours we've been having are taking a toll, they are so droopy-looking :-(. I enjoyed these photos. xo,
