lilacs outside my window

i haven't been feeling so sunshiney the past few days -- but these beauties put a smile on my face -- they popped open over the weekend and i discovered them yesterday morning.  they are one of my absolute favorites.

the sun is out today.  i hope it stays out and keeps the day bright-- both for me and the poor soul who was just pulled over by an undercover sedan clad stater and is getting a ticket right outside my window. bummer.  don't speed on my road.  joggers + undercover staters...
