You know, this one’s been marked as a “Best” photo in my filing system since pretty much the time I started this blog. I’ve passed it over upwards of 91 times, and yet, I still never removed it from that category.
…Wait, I’ve put up a full 91 photos I call “Best”? Really? I suppose I have been doing one a week for working on two years…
I’ve just never really had anything to say about this photo. It’s lovely, yes. All nice and white and lilac-y. But I’ve talked about lilacs before, when I put up photos that had much more obvious lilacs. This one may be a lilac, but I took it so close that you have to think about it a bit to realize it. That “bit” being dependent on your familiarity with lilacs, of course. And I’ve said lilac far too much in the last few sentences.
So, well, um, enjoy the photo? I’m sure you’ll see why I think it’s some of my best work. Even if this post isn’t.
It’s not a lilac. The floral structure is all wrong. Try something more like an azalea maybe?
Sheesh, the one time I’m 99% certain I know what a flower is, I’m wrong. Silly flowers and their silly names…
