What beautiful lilacs these are. That is one of my very favorite flowers, and love the scent of them. Sadly , they do not do well in Texas, so have to look at others shots. Gorgeous!
Dandelions? Boy, do we have a bumper crop around here! I shudder to think what next year will be like with all the seeds blowing around. Soon it should be hot enough that these little pests will be smothered out - at least for another year!
P.S. The lilacs are beautiful. I think I can actually smell them!
We used to play a game with Dandelion seed heads - tell the time by slowing the seeds away - however many breaths it took was what the time was - Oh wasn't it fun to be a child.
Now I shudder when I see them in the grass - however if they get out of hand and reach the seed head stage wild parrots and cockatoos sometimes come and visit to eat the seeds. Take care Cathy
East Gwillimbury is a rural town less than an hour north of Toronto, Canada's largest city.

They're both lovely!
Dandelions have the most fascinating structure--dandelions and thistles.
Beautiful pictures.The Lilacs are so pretty and I do like the seed heads of the Dandelion as well.
:) sweet, though.

Photographically, they are very lovely! But i laughed at the @*?%#!~+ at the end because of the dandelion, haha!
Both are equally beautiful.
I can smell the lilacs from here...and I've made a wish on the dandelion....
The play of light on the flowers and the puffily dandelions is marvelous.
Love lilacs but &^%*$#@ dandelions.
Lovely photos. Our backyard is overflowing with both.
Your lilac shot is superb!
Terrific shots EG! Looks exactly what is going on in my yard.
the wild Lilacs are beautiful. I do like the bright yellow color of the Dandelions but the seed pods seem to go EVERYWHERE!! MB
So what's that you were saying about dandelions? :-)
The lilac must smell delightful!
Bye Bye, Winter!
Love the pretty lilacs! I heard the dandelions are important for the bees. Great post, have a happy day!
Incredible. Hug B

Lovely images!!!
Those lilacs are beautiful! I can almost smell them here. :)
Beautiful image of the lilacs with the dark background. Really makes them stand out.
They are beautiful!
I thought I was going to drown in dandelion fluff when I finally got my yard mowed.
Your lilacs are so beautiful!
Our soil is dandelion-friendly. Perhaps I should grow them as salad greens.
I love the simple wild lilacs, even if they sucker madly, they are the kind I have in my garden. I wish I were in Ontario right now.
I never see any wild lilacs here.... Pretty! ... Michelle
So stunning pictures - i love the lilac!

I just love the smell of lilacs in the spring and even though the dandelion is cheerful, it is a nuisance.
