"If you foolishly ignore beauty |
you will soon find yourself without it. |
But if you invest in beauty |
it will remain with you all the days of your life." |
Frank Lloyd Wright |

My mother loved lilacs and we had about a dozen planted in the back yard. Every time I smell them or see them I am reminded of her.
Thanks for the picture.
Beautiful bush of lilacs. And the building in the background looks stunning!
Windows and doors2
Beautiful bush for the rather stark building! But lots of windows all in a row.
It's a little disconcerting seeing windows taller than wider.
Dave: you are welcome. I always thought, if I had a house with any bit of land, I'd plant a lilac, or two.
(I get the same memories from a Mock Orange)
Manang Kim: it was all the more striking because it was sitting in this massive green field, all by itself.
Lew: the roundness of this bush tries to soften the lines of the building.
ewok: they look rather prison-like to me!
Yes that is a right hand drive Chevy. I asked the owner about it and he said it was built in Australia. How it got to the USA I don't know. There are more pictures of it here. It is a very nicely restored auto.
He knew what he was talking about.
