As adults, we sometimes notice that things are much smaller than they seemed when we were children. However, I could swear that the wood cranesbills (Geranium sylvaticum) have more and bigger flowers now than in my childhood... :)
Geraniums,
with deep purple eyes
Scan avidly
the Springtime skies
As if despite
their diminutive size
That they could

The lilacs are starting to bloom.
I wish I could share with you also something more than only photos... The air is so lovely, warm, calm, rather humid, and very, very fragrant.
You may have noticed that I'm very much in love with our
Begonia × tuberhybrida (Pendula Group).
With this collage, I participate in

You have done these flowers justice with your beautiful photos : )
VastaaPoistaHow I wish I had a lilac bush. I tried growing one but it did not survive. I remember the ones my mother had. Your photos of the flowers are wonderful. Have a blessed day and a wonderful week. Madeline
VastaaPoistaHello Sara. Your words about the lilacs had me right there, smelling them and feeling the warm humid air. I do love lilac season. Your photos are gorgeous - wonderful light and composition. Have a good week.
VastaaPoistaI love geraniums and lilacs .. such a pretty color! The begonia is stunning! Happy Monday!
VastaaPoistaFabulous Sara and lucky you to have lilacs now...mine were too short...and geraniums are such a fantastic long-blooming flower.
VastaaPoistaLove all the purple flowers this week!
VastaaPoistaI love the focus you got looking through the leaves to the flowers. Amazing colors! Hugs, Diane
VastaaPoistaPretty geranium flowers and I see lupins in the background getting ready to appear.
VastaaPoistaLucky you to be coming into lilac season, will you bringing some in for vases? Mine are finished except the Korean lilac decided to put out one more bloom and I've probably extracted all the scent from smelling it so often. :-)
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Sara.
I loved each of these, they make me smile and that means happy, really pretty~
